2. Bugatti Divo – US$6 million

This year, the sheikh went to the UK’s capital along with his three new limited-edition hypercars – a Bugatti Divo, a Lamborghini Sian FKP 37 and a Ferrari Monza SP2. British YouTuber TheTFJJ captured the moment when the three exotic automobiles were unloaded late at night and hit the streets of London.

Starting with his Divo, the hypercar is decked out in a dark grey exterior finish along with contrasting red, blue, and white stripes that mimic the colours of the French flag. It rides on special wheels that feature a dual-tone finish with black and silver colours, while the brake calipers are painted bright red.

3. Lamborghini Sian – US$3.5 million

KHK’s Lamborghini Sian (as documented by YouTuber TFJJ) is an attention magnet thanks to its stunning purple paint scheme augmented with contrasting exposed carbon fibre components and gold wheels. It’s simply jaw-dropping, to say the least.

4. Ferrari Monza SP2 – US$1.85 million

According to Carscoops, the sheikh’s Ferrari Monza SP2 comes with a dual-tone grey finish. This one might not be as flashy as compared to the Divo or the Sian, but let’s not forget that the open-top, limited-production supercar is one of the rarest modern Ferraris. Revealed in 2018, the Monza SP2 along with the SP1 marked the beginning of the new “Icona” series – a programme aimed at creating special cars inspired by classic Ferrari models. The two-seat SP2 is limited to only 499 examples and was only sold to special patrons of the iconic Italian manufacturer, according to Bloomberg. The same source stated that each Monza costed about US$1.85 million.
