Default TOO MUCH MONEY!!!

The sultan of Brunei is in the country and a family member was pictured with the below Frakenstein Rolls Royce!

Anyway, if you ever needed evidence that some people have WAY more money than sense, this car reportedly cost £500k and is a one off custom build!








Some people have just way too much money!!

Yeah looks very much like a 350Z with a RR front end...

Bit of info I found about it;

" The car, which is based on a 1995 Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit MKIV, is rumoured to belong to the Sultan of Brunei's family.
But despite the car’s humble origins, this custom Rolls, built by Indian firm DC Designs, looks more like a car from the future with its heavily tapered coupe body, LED lights and chrome door mirrors.
And this Rolls-Royce is one of the only in the world which has doors that open upwards like the ‘scissor doors’ on a Lamborghini Murcielago supercar.
A suitably large 6.75-litre V12 engine sends power to its massive chrome alloy wheels.
Producing around 360bhp and more than 550lb/ft of pulling power, the super-coupe should accelerate from 0-60mph in less than 6 seconds and reach a top speed in excess of 150mph.
Expect to pay DC Designs around £500,000 if you want a custom Rolls-Royce of your own. "

Par for the course for the sultan and his family

Lived out in Brunei for 11 years and their wealth and what they spent it on was just a way of life and didnt create a stir.

The whole family , brothers, sisters, uncles etc all had rollers and each one a different colour. When the sultan had his birthday celebrations, they all trooped down the one road we had in procession. looked like a big line of smarties
