How much money (net worth) would you at least need to have before you would consider buying all those cars?! $100 million? Or maybe closer to $500 million? And I wonder if they actually get driven, or if he is like the Sultan of Brunei who has a staff of 100 whose only job is to drive his collection around in his garage so they don't die. And it can't be that hard to figure out who he is.

Dude has basically every modern exotic, including cars that cost millions.

Veyron
Reventon (only 5 made, each $2 million)
Saleen S7
Enzo
F40
Carerra GT
Ford GT

All modern Lambos, Ferraris, Aston Martins, Porsches, Maseratis, Bentleys, Rolls Royces. And a nice collection of classic Mustangs, Corvettes, and other muscle cars.

I am surprised he doesn't have a Zonda or a Koenigsegg, cars which are far more numerous than the Reventon.

^Can't. Zonda is impossible to register in the US, as are all the Koenigsegg cars.

There are a couple of states you can put them on the road with temporary (daily) permits, but I don't think Michigan is one of them.

^ haha, I'm sure this guy sweats little details like registration.

^^ False.

I don't know about the Zonda (I will look it up later), but the Koenigsegg CCX is available in the US. was especially made for the US market. It is the US-version of the European CCR, with several modifications, including a brand new in-house designed engine, which replaces the Ford V8 found in the previous models. The 'X' stands for the tenth anniversary of the company's first car (the CC).

In fact, it had its official US debut in 2006 in Las Vegas. Exotic Cars at Caesars Palace is the only dealer in the US that has been chosen to sell the CCX. Here is more info and pics:

Aside from the several changes to the body dimensions and the engine to comply with US safety and emissions standards, they also did this:

Quote :

"The CCX is 1.6 in (40.6 mm) taller than the CCR and, combined with the carbon fiber reinforced plastic sports seats by Sparco, the CCX allows for 2 in (50.8 mm) of extra headroom that Autoweek reviewer Mark Vaughn hypothesizes is "to accommodate U.S. NBA stars.""

It costs $700,000.

anyone figure out who this guy is?

and..didn't Bill Gates get some special 'law' passed so that he could title and drive his 959? only a few miles a year and things like that....since that car didn't meet US specs. Something like that anyway.

I don't know who this guy is but I do know one of the largest Ferrari collectors in the US and he doesn't register his cars. He owns several car dealerships (none of which are Ferrari ironically) and as a result just slaps a dealer tag on the back of a Ferrari if he feels like driving it.

it makes sense. if the car was never titled, it's worth more.

Very jealous. He really has something for everyone. I wonder when he got his 8C. When are they supposed to show up at dealers?
