The Ferrari 456GT Venice (wagon), made in just 7 units, 6 of which are owned by the Sultan of Brunei.

The Sultan of Brunei, of course, of course.... Doest the Sultan of Brunei own all the weird cars in the world? Or just most of them?

So, Ferrari will build you a custom car, but they won't do it unless seven are ordered. that's why you always see that number when the Sultan's odd cars come up, he just buys seven himself.

That's false. They have a one-off programm where they build you exactly that (a one-off). All their custom programs don't force you to buy anything more than what you want.

Some rich people collect horses, some collect yachts, some buy democratic countries to overthrow, he collects weird cars.

If you ask ChatGPT " Who is this talking about?" it asks Bing for a bit, and comes up with either Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan al Nahyan of the UAE, or Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei. 😆

He steals the wealth of his country for an insane obsession with cars that end up rotting in warehouses.

Maybe someone else knows, how expensive is it to get custom glass made for a car? I understand how they can make body panels but that one off glass would make me not want to drive the car at all.

That means 90 percent of those vehicles are now mouldy af

Most of the unique coachbuilt cars would still sell for unbelievable money to be restored. The special cars would still be worth something for being part of the collection.

Yeah. His cars were found at an abandoned storage facility of some sorts where the A/C had failed. And most of these cars had little to no mileage.

Is this just some rumor or is there actual footage or something of it?

HerpDerpleton@reddit

There have been multiple image posts circulating on a few of the car subreddits, including this one, about it.

There are some pics of it roaming around San Francisco, apparently.

Yes it's green over green and was seen extensively at Monterey Car Week this past year. I believe sold through Michael Sheehan since he's traded through a couple of the ex-Brunei cars iirc.

Who would have thought, the sultan was an ass man.

Enzo died long before this thing was made

I don’t think these are official made-by-Ferrari Ferraris. Pininfarina did a lot of third party coachbuilds using production Ferraris as the foundation and I think the Venice series was one of them. Nobody better to do it since they’re the ones who designed the 456 in the first place.

remember, Ferrari road cars only exist to fund the racing team

You'd think they would do better at racing

We do not talk about their 2020 F1 car. We just don't.

Too bad it’s not a shooting brake. THAT would be cool.

TurboDeez_Nuts_54@reddit (OP)

There's always the FF and GTC4 for that.
