Where can anyone buy all those Rolls Royces, Lamborghinis, Porsches and Ferraris for $1.15 million?
It's the carbon fiber version, they go for over $2 mill (source: They pop up for sale on James Edition every now and then). The vast majority of lambos and ferraris here (including most of the ones in the photos) are older models that go for less than $200k (and the GTR's for less than $100k). You are right that my statement was an exaggeration if you include the Rolls, but the point stands; There is only one person here who'd spend millions of dollars on a Mclaren, and I was right that it's his.
True that but for the lucky Lucan type, the prices you stated are prior import taxes and I suspect that contrary to the common belief not all owners, especially for the lower end ones like GTR, have their ways around that extra cost.
Back to the probable P1 owner, he certainly isn’t brand picky as I believe I saw him drive home in a LaFerrari, which if I wasn’t mistaken would still be his collection crown jewel. He is also rumored to own a 918 Porcher which might have become his new #2 now that the P1 has been totaled.
If I had such a collection I would be so frustrated with the lack of well suited roads and real road users that I would certainly spend a few millions into building a race track where I would also store the bulk of my collection in a modern A/C warehouse.
I don’t need to day dream about it tho as I am very satisfied with a more reasonable A/C parking space project for my 400hp turbo ricer along with the Bokor road proximity and recent ticket waiver.
for stronger cravings and until a real track materialize I also intend to spend more time on the Pattaya Bira International race track.
