The Sultan of Brunei, Hassanal Bolkiah, isn’t just known for his wealth—his car collection is a world-class automotive marvel. With an estimated 7,000 vehicles and some of the rarest cars ever made, his garage is not just a storage space but an unparalleled ode to automotive history and excess. Recently leaked photos have reignited interest in this jaw-dropping collection, revealing a treasure trove of hypercars, one-off designs, and forgotten gems.
Let’s take a look inside the world’s most extraordinary car collection.
It’s hard to fathom the scale of the Sultan’s collection. Reports suggest his fleet includes over:
600 Rolls-Royces,
450 Ferraris,
380 Bentleys,
and countless other bespoke creations.
While many collectors focus on a particular era or style, the Sultan’s taste is as diverse as it is extravagant. From hypercars to custom builds, his collection spans decades and categories.
The Sultan isn’t satisfied with off-the-shelf luxury; he craves exclusivity. Here are some highlights:
Ferrari Mythos: A concept car made road-legal exclusively for the Sultan.
McLaren F1 LM: While only five were made for public sale, several custom F1 LMs in unique colors are parked in Brunei.
Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Limousines: Dozens of ultra-luxurious Rolls-Royces were built specifically for the royal family, with some plated in gold.
Porsche Carma: A bizarre, futuristic sports car reportedly designed just for the Sultan.
His obsession with exclusivity has also led to collaborations with brands like Aston Martin, Mercedes-Benz, and Jaguar to create never-before-seen models.
Shockingly, many of the cars in his collection have been abandoned. Rumors of mold-covered exotics and dust-coated hypercars tucked away in sprawling warehouses have circulated for years. The leaked photos confirm the state of neglect for some vehicles, with several rare classics appearing in less-than-pristine condition.
In a surprising twist, Holden—a brand beloved in Australia—has a place in the Sultan’s collection. Specially built Holden Commodores, rebranded as Chevrolet and Opel models, were commissioned exclusively for Brunei. These cars, often featuring cutting-edge technology for their time, are now a unique part of his fleet.
While much of the collection remains hidden from public view, the recent leaks have sparked renewed interest in its fate. Will the Sultan preserve these automotive icons, or will this treasure trove remain a fading dream of unbridled excess?
One thing is clear: the Sultan of Brunei’s car collection is more than just a garage—it’s a legacy that will continue to amaze car enthusiasts for generations to come.
