You may have heard several times about the story of the Sultan of Brunei and his incredibly luxurious personal vehicle collection, which likely now spans into the thousands.

Among these vehicles, some are one-off models that do not exist in any other country, and there are likely some cars that have been used only once before being stored away in a warehouse.

Now, you can take a closer look at a small known selection of vehicles collected by the Sultan of Brunei, thanks to the Instagram account brunei_cars_2001.

All the photos captured here were taken around the year 2001, so we cannot ascertain the current condition of all the machinery in the inventory.

Here are five vehicle models we find particularly interesting to share with our readers:

 

1. McLaren F1

The Sultan of Brunei is perhaps one of the most ardent fans of the McLaren F1 models, considering he owns up to 10 units out of the 106 F1s ever produced.

In addition to the standard F1 model, there are also two F1 LMs, one F1 GT, and a McLaren F1 GTR built on the Ueno Clinic vehicle that won 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1995.

It features a 6.1-liter V12 engine capable of generating an impressive 627 PS and 650 Nm, matched with a six-speed manual transmission.

The McLaren F1 held the record as the fastest production car for several years before being eclipsed by the Bugatti Veyron and Bugatti Chiron.

 

2. Bugatti EB110 SS

The Sultan of Brunei also possesses at least four Bugatti EB110 SS supercars in his collection.

Three of these vehicles are colored yellow, black, and silver, while the fourth, also in black, is adorned with racing stripes in red, blue, and yellow.

This machine is powered by a 3.5-liter V12 engine with four turbochargers, producing 560 PS (or 603 PS in the Super Sport version), paired with a six-speed manual transmission.

It accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds, reaching a top speed of 342 km/h.

 

3. Porsche 962

In addition to several models of the Porsche 911, the Sultan of Brunei has also collected units of the Porsche 959 and at least five Dauer Porsche 962s.

For your information, the Porsche 962 was originally built for Group C racing to replace the Porsche 956, with 13 units made for the road version.

The Dauer 962 uses the same engine as the race version 962, a flat-6 2,994 cc engine that can generate up to 730 PS and is paired with a five-speed racing transmission.

 

4. Bentley Dominator

The Bentley Dominator was produced in the 1990s and can be considered the predecessor to the ultra-luxurious SUVs that exist today, such as the Rolls-Royce Cullinan and the Bentley Bentayga.

However, it was not made for the general market.

Instead, Bentley produced only about six units of the Dominator model, all of which were designated for the personal use of the Sultan of Brunei.

Unfortunately, the specifications of this first luxury SUV from Bentley have never been disclosed by any party, including Bentley itself.

 

5. Ferrari F90

As a Ferrari fan, it’s impossible for the Sultan of Brunei’s inventory to be without a collection of supercars from the Prancing Horse brand.

There are at least seven Ferrari F40 models, which are highly coveted by automotive enthusiasts, several units of the F50, and three Ferrari F90 models, the existence of which may not be widely known.

Not to be confused with the more modern SF90, the Ferrari F90 was produced by Pininfarina under the special request of Prince Jefri Bolkiah, the brother of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah.

Initially, the development of the F90 was completely unknown to Ferrari until the information leaked in 1988.

The project was managed by Enrico Fumia, head of the R&D department at Pininfarina, and the name F90 refers to “Ferrari of the 90s.”

All six units of the F90 use the Testarossa platform but come with entirely new body panels and are powered by a 390 PS engine that drives the rear wheels.
