I can't even begin to fathom the thought process behind "Hey, I've managed to get this one-off custom by Pininfarina f40 in a colour literally no one else has, because one-off custom by Pininfarina for the sultan of Brunei. So let's, you know, spray it red because Ferrari's ought to be red, all the others are!". Like, while they aren't exactly an everyday car there are literally hundreds of red ones out there...
Exactly! If they want a Ferrari as they 'intended to be' then just buy one like that. It's not like the configurations weren't tasteful
thought the same thing! these custom F40s have to be worth a shitload of money with that kind of history!
I kinda feel the opposite. if someone bought a supercar so rare it was basically already one of a kind and customized it in any way other than a rap I would feel like it's a total waste of the car. But hey that's just my opinion
@@sirishmisthry8462 Were the work done by any other company than Pininfarina I'd have to agree with you. But this is the company that designed the thing in the first place, which makes them as close as you can get to a factory custom with these machines - which would make them quite priceless and converting them to "standard" a bit pointless as they were never really standard in the first place (well, they were the whole way from the Ferrari workshop to the Pininfarina one) and by doing so you'd be effectively erasing their history.
made me think of a VINWIKI episode concerning the color of a vehicle (it was black) and the person asking for it wanted red. But the person only said "This can be red."
RIP to the burning F40 in Monaco
Rip 💔
Price of the F40 just gone up again

Rip that legend
The real question is.. How many Royal Mail Trucks are currently pushing MK5 GTI’s? 🤔
MrTheMadrifter 😂😂🤦♂️
STOP MAKING JOKES ABOUT THAT CRASH COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE!!!!!!!!
Nick chill
Nick no one cares snowflake
Nick, I’ll see myself out 🧥 😂
I am loving this style of video - more please car throttle!
Probably cost a lot to edit but the vid was great
@@kyusuf cost? Literally just an animation software
@@kyusuf Probably true.... But with almost 3 million subs, I think it could be afforded on a monthly basis
As long as they are being taken care of and not “neglected”, I don’t really care. They’re not my cars. It is nice to think that someday these cars will emerge and we will get to see what these F40s were like new, but decades later. Think of it as saving them for a future generation.
I guess they have so much money that makes them loose their senses. They just love to show off. It's unmannerliness. I don't think that they're caring these cars and preserving in full condition. I bet they already forgot about these cars.
Porter McSorley kinda annoying that’s he hoards them all tho
Porter McSorley underrated comment.
They are hoarding them. I guarantee you they just sitting there rotten in dust with 0 miles on the clock.
sitting is neglect.
Rush Brunei, they can't stop us all
I'm in.
This should happen
Im in too
No cyka blyat, rush B I said!
I'm in. I don't have any special skills, but damn I'm enthusiastic!
6:42 why do all the F40s look sad??
Because they're never driven
@@nojus650 Thats sad :((
Because they are
Because Arabs own them have you seen their women lately sad
I can basically see them cry along with that sad lullaby...
Who would repaint such legendary specs that were unique? If he wanted a red over red he could have just bought a normal one
....
well it's his money so
But they wouldn´t be RHD cars
He paid, for all I care he paints them pink and glues a barbiedol on the hood.
They were probably repainted red like 10-15 years ago when they werent worth as much, and the owner would just want a "normal" f40. And the cars were probably cheaper than a normal red one because they were "modified" - But today, 10-15 years later, they would probaby be more expensive because of the story. The car market today is very strange.
Modern better quality paint would be one of my reasons
I think it's hilarious that in the early 2000s, collectors wanted the most basic specs. Rosso Crosa with tan interior. Now, collectors want the most unique, and rarest specs. If they kept the yellow car yellow, it would be worth at least 50% more
Ferraris still tend to do best overall Rosso with tan as there are generally more people who want that. However the rare unique specs do well because they're rare from factory. Modified ones don't tend to be that much more valuable as it lacks that crucial authenticity and provenance. You can always respray and customise the interior yourself. But a one off factory special, that carries some weight. The only thing here is that it's Pininfarina doing the work. Any other F40 modified like this even by a decent high end shop would lose value.
@@jacklondon7873 right. These are special because of Pinnifarina. Very few aftermarket mods would increase the value of a supercar
Alot of manufacturers did not like deviating from the specs there brand was associated. On Vin Wiki UA-cam channel there is a video of a Gallardo Supperlaggera where it was a unique colour and Edd talks about how manufacturers only wanted you to get i.e Ferrari, Red or Yellow and Lambo was Orange, Lime Green etc...
@@JJROADSTA yeah but they did that because it's what sold. Rosso corsa is sometimes called "resale red", because it usually has the highest resale value.
@@JJROADSTA That's for their dealers in their area. Obviously dealers want to sell what's already there.
As a 51 year old I am so glad they exist in the first place. The 80's/90's super cars are my era. However I feel it's a crying shame so many are locked away. I once saw a Ducati 851 Super bike (New out at the time) being ridden through London in the snow. We were like dude it's snowing. He said "If I just wanted to look at it, I'd have bought a Picasso."
I'll never forget that saying.
I'm from Brunei and I can honestly say I've never seen any of these cars on the road. So it's safe to assume that they're most likely still in storage
This week an F40 burned in Monaco so RIP
eliasboss7 Saw that... so sad for the owner
It's just a car.
@@basshead. why are you watching this video in the first place?

@nazmesan I usually would just see the sultan's car and convoy or the princess's lambo or something
@nazmesan for real? lucky~
same here
Same here, Gadong FTW 😎
Such a shame they keep it to themselves. At least use it to appreciate the beauty of the car!
i know a brunei guy and he says they drive them they just never show anyone same with the mclaren f1s hes seen them and they do drive it on track days this whole bullshit where they have 0 miles is just a hoax they do enjoy them and they do race them
@@justaguy5791 who is this Brunei guy? Is he involved with the royals and an insider?
@@qlus hes not an insider but he has seen the cars and he has seen them race
@@justaguy5791 I hope what that guy says is true.
@@justaguy5791 I'll guarantee some one is driving them. Then again they may opt for the La Ferrari or any of the other super cars sitting around. Problems huh!
One is actually in the UK and was owned by the late great Jimmy Saville. It had custom body panels added which disguised it to look exactly like the humble Vauxhall Astra, and it was repainted as beige over brown (luxury velour). After Jimmy was found out to be a bit of a lad, the car was uncovered, given a £15 mini valet at the local Polish car wash (during which 4 pairs of suspiciously small underpants were found under the passenger seat), and sent to Bradford car auctions. Unsurprisingly, due to its understated nature, there was little bidding interest to begin with. But once knowledge of the underseat treasure trove was made public, bidding went throught the roof. The hammer dropped at £350 and the mystery buyer was said to be planning to use it to deliver takeaways. So if you're in the Bradford area and you order a curry that gets there in a hurry, savour it, as it may have been delivered in the famous Saville F40.
Haha this is an extremely underrated comment
Amazing work. I’ve always wondered about those F40’s. “Eternal storage” and “prison” is how I see these cars too, so sad
Great Video!! Some history is always welcome! Makes You appreciate the Timelessness of these cars even more
A crime against car enthusiasts worldwide

@@nyceefx i just had an autism attack trying to read that
It's been said by people who have met the Brunei royals that they have no idea what thing realy cost. They are very sheltered. Don't envy them. It's a shame they don't get driven, but then again this is quite common in the Ferrari community. The Sultan's brother is the one buying all the cars. The Sultan has the world's only station wagon Ferrari 456 GT as well as many other Rolls Royce and Bentley wagons. Usually built by Pininfarina. Thanks.
There are so many incredible cars around the world that have never been seen or have never been driven. I work at Brabus and I get to see a lot of crazy cars and crazy customers who tell stories about their cars. You wouldn’t believe where In the world you can find insane car collections that nobody knows about. For example some of the poorest countries in Africa have Paganis, Koenigsegg or Bugatti’s. Or Turkmenistan, Tadschikistan or even our dear friend Kim Jong-un in North Korea. You wouldn’t believe it.
Isn't this the voice of the guy who got fired by Top Gear, Rory?
Yup it's him
This is AMAZING. Love these interesting detective stories of hidden jewels on wheels
Moment of silence for the F40 that burned down 2 days ago
I've had that grey F40 the DK Engineering had/has as my phone background for months and only just realised that it's RHD!
Imagine going to a foreign country find a building in the middle of now where flicking the lights on and seeing 8 Ferrari f40s just sitting there gives me goosebumps thinking about it
Loving this abandoned series! Keep them coming! 😍
6:36
“Save us...”
ikr. sad story indeed
As much as i don't like cars being stored in garages for their entire life and never getting used to their intended potential, in the Sultan of Brunei's case, i think that is what makes them so special. The fact that no one outside of Pininfarina and the Brunei royal family have ever seen these cars, and having literally zero miles on them makes them so much cooler. The best part about the car collection in Brunei is not only the vast expanse and rarity of it but also the entire secrecy surrounding it, just makes for a great research project.
Make a video about the BMW M3 GTR Street Edition cars that we never saw.
2:30 "Borderline deranged" 480 lbs ft of torque. The 1992 Viper made 465 from the factory. In 1996, the Viper made 490 in stock trim -- by the last gen it was up to 600. That was all from a naturally aspirated motor.
2.8 liter basically stock car from the 80's, yeah the viper was cheaper but this is a ferrari, supposed to kill you in laxury and style, the viper was not only older, had double the size of engine, was probably double the weight, but generally was just made to kill you
Yeah, with almost 3 times more displacement
2:25 how is that "borderline deranged"
He's justflexing his vocabulary. Way over the top.
Raditya Indera :))
For a 2.9 liter stock internals...that's a lot of torque.
Simply the age of the car.
Why is that even a question worth asking? No one truly cares mate. Dry your eyes.
The F40 still looks gorgeous today!
Change my mind.
Your not wrong there, todays Ferrari just look rubbished
288 gto looks better though
F50?
The 'zero' mileage reading is bullshit, every F40 has it's factory test track mileage on it. I have driven one of those RHD F40's and it was a terrible conversion, it would have been better to have left them LHD, it simply did not work out ergonomically.
If the Sultan demands his cars be delivered with zero mileage, they're delivered with zero mileage.
@@gregoryscott7088 Not true, the green F40 has 121 kms on the clock in 2009...
The F40 is my favourite car of all time, great video 👍
Keep em coming guys loving these stories
Ahh this channel does so many things well! Good job guys
I feel for the cars. It's like they are trapped in some kind of concentration camp. I can only hope someday, someone (some people) will freed these cars from this prison and will someday see the daylight and feel the road.
Then I hope someone will make a anime series about "Saving the cars in Brunei"...lol
You need a lot of mercinaries and heavy vehicular weapons to breach his mansion as well, its Fast 5 again
I imagine these cars being found after an apocalypse like in the movies. Inside a garage below somewhere all dusty but still brand new, never used and roads so messed up that you cant drive them anymore.
When Coronavirus takes over I would definitely raid Brunei for a nice F40
So we are going to ignore The fact that he said “The Emerald Green F40 with Emerald Green Interior.”😍 Sounds luxury 1:43
I've been twice in Brunei Darussalam. It is very interesting and special after landing to see outside the hangars (garage) of the cars and.... is not possible to visit it. I don't want to imagine if the Sultan decides to open a museum.
Perhaps in 100 years time they'll make a guest appearance at a car show.
The future deserves its fair share of wonder.
About month ago saw "stock" F40 on M4 entering London,one thing is for sure,nothing about that car is stock or ordinary,to see it on the road is a extreme spectacle.
could have been a kit car?
@@ohgoshitsjosh3682 no...
I would recognise kit car mile away
It was in small group alongside 812 and 488
It's London my friend,nobody is driving kit cars,only real deal
Seeing as we're talking about Ferraris, I can't wait for you to get onto doing the 250s
ESPECIALLY THE 250 GTOs
I am happy that they still exist
Imagine being able to afford a couple of f40s!! I cant even afford a few beers right now
The sultan also has a White F40, and it was seen being driven around in Hong Kong by himself. It has silver rims with a black centre, an interesting spec indeed
Damn i would love that black lm with the red strip ;)
it must look so sexy.
LOVE UR VIDS, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

If I had that many I’d keep 2 or 3 and drive the rest, I wish that was the story, sad really..
I'm in love with that grey F40- don't know why you'd paint it back to the red when this was a legit job done by Pininfarina. Glad to see its back to that beautiful spec!
Brunei even has one of the most rare r32 gtr aswell.
Underpaid Racer nobody cares about the r32
it is own my local bruneian now. follow @fzr711 on ig
@noxxi knox honestly r32 is nothing compared to the f40
@noxxi knox he didnt meant in performance
@noxxi knox rarity? Awesomeness?
I hate the idea of keeping the car in storage and not driving it ..
But that F40 that burnt in Monaco today was sad :(
I had a giant poster of this car on my wall as a kid, it was red though.
These videos are brilliant! Keep it up guys.
A moment of silence for the F40 that caught fire in Monoco. 😢
I think it’s a gift to our future automotive world to have these cars virtually time-capsuled.
when i was this early ethan had a prius
One of my favourite cars of all time. It's disgusting that they got that so much money that they don't drive them or anything. If I had that sort of money I'd be driving everywhere in it.
Can we get a second episode on the McLaren F1s?
Aviation LBA he’s already done one look in the previous videos
I said SECOND episode you oblivious fool. I am fully aware that he has done one already.
More videos like this love them!
These are the best videos CT create.
Ferrari shouldn't sell to people who lock them in grages
That’s like 95% of buyers though
I’ve saw a right hand drive Ferrari F40 in Singapore many years ago, I didn’t believe my eyes. Good job Car Throttle👍🏽
What an amazing story.
that Black/Red stripe F40, damn it looks cool
"Radio" will do fine, "Radio player" just sounds odd.
Not odd at all young millennial person.
A radio player denotes that it can play some other media like a cassette or a CD.

Paolo! I spent the Nurburgring 24hr race with him and Glickenhaus in 2012. Super cool guy does cars for work but will talk a lot about his enthusiasm for the outdoors.
this is why the f40 looks sad... knowing that his brothers are locked away in prison since birth
DK Engineering are literally down the road from me & some of the stuff you get to see driving around is astonishing.
Me: can't afford a second hand Astra
Meanwhile in Brunei * 8 unused Ferrari F40s * (bruh moment)
this is how capitalism works dude, some have nothing and others have all
That´s often how the super rich behave while not giving a f*** about the poor.
Well capitalism is superior to socialism for sure.
the Sultan ownes more than 7000 cars
Well it appears you don’t know how to spend money anyway... maybe it’s for the best!
Love these kinds of videos! The editing is really well done!
I am literely crying right now.
The craziest part about all of this is that the Sultan is ruling a place that's not even 500,000 people and he found a way to be in the top 20 richest people alive lol That's one hell of an hustle for sure.
And he comprises the people the nation lives in poverty
@@ZaibatsuHeavyIndustries lol, why do u think so? did u live here?
I read "abandoned f40s" i click when i also read my country i click even faster.
Keep this series up! Its so interesting. I follow you guys for this! Impressive work.
Save yourself 7:25 minutes they never actually go to Brunei or do you actually see any cars in Brunei....
Colin Goldthorpe what difference would it make
these vids are sick asf, please do more!
Idk why I find this video so creepy
Y?
Becuz the the Sultan is a cursed motherfucker for hoarding cars
it's gonna be an episode of Barn Find in Brunei in another 50 years
Theese people hwo imprison cars like that should only be alowed yugos, ladas and dacias
Waiting for more! Maybe stories are not making us happy but still learning these details make me happy. Cheers.
They should be rather stored than burnt down :(
Or actualy be given to someone that will use it
@@des363 no they will ruined this masterpiece
im hurt .but ikr brunei royalty got the biggest collection of car in asia.everyone know he got 2 storage size of like 4 football field of cars.
There’s a forest green f40 that I’ve seen on insta before what’s the story with that
Well Sultan of Brunei, if you have an F40 you don"t need anymore I would be glad to come over and get it, thanks 👍
Im glad, let him have as many cars as he wants, we can all dream about being him one day
finally one normal guy
way too many commies in this comment section
Nobody needs more than 10 of the same Ferrari model along with multiple other hypercars which never get used.
I don't think many of us dream of being him. Most people would dream of having just one of those very special cars and actually caring for it and using it, not ruining it with absurd specifications and never even bothering to use it, keeping it away in some stinking garage for it to rot and never be seen or admired by anyone.
@@jamesshives5679 exactly
I think it should be considered a criminal act to repaint a Ferrari a completely different color after purchase. There's no way to replicate the method used by the factory and the car will never be the same.
why spend to much money on cars and never drive them. its just sad
To collect. kind of like people collecting Hotwheels but never open the package
Can we take a moment to appreciate the in-depth analysis of this legendary car?
Hey Mr Sultana.. wanna swap an ultra rare Focus RS for one of your common as muck F40s? 😄
James and John are 2 of the best in the thr world dare i say it.
Spoke to him both in the best. Great people to work with and have endless info on cars like these🙌
This makes me quite sad :-(
It's a bit of both, I'm glad that someone had a F40 painted in forest green, but it's bittersweet knowing it won't be used on roads other than for maintenance.
lets rescue them all
Petition?
War!
=)
Petition!? Don't you mean *heist?* XD Say you wanted to steal the whole supercar collection of Brunei, you would need 1 cargo ship, 1 fully loaded Mi-24 to eliminate any ground armor, and 2 Mi-8 for rapid transit from ship to the garages, and as many Americans with 50lbs of ammo as the number of cars you are taking, you could arrive and be leaving with the cars in under 30 minutes... Brunei only has one actual "city" and the whole country is smaller than Chicago.
To invade a country, crush their military, and steal everything of value is pretty easy with a little planning and the right gear. Alternately 2 747 cargo planes configured for 2 level loading could be used if you were going full supervillain mega-heist in-out-gone smash-and-grab at lightning speed. If the Fast and Furious could do it, so could anyone! XD
