Ferrari Mythos Concept

[NeoNSX]

I love concepts... some are cool, some make you laugh, some just make you wonder.

I stumbled across this 1989 FERRARI MYTHOS by accident, and was amazed -- so i did a bit of a search to see if it was for real.

<B>Mid Engine</B>, 48 Valve Flat 12
390 bhp / 290.9 kW @ 6300 rpm

Incredible Story here about it... <I>"The only Ferrari Mythos ever to be produced is now in the collection of his Majesty the Sultan of Brunei. The word goes that he liked the showcar so much that he had to own it. Only problem was that the showcar was not meant to be driven, so the Sultan paid either Ferrari or Pininfarina to make the car a runner.... talk about passion? The car is based on the Ferrari Testarossa..."</I>

Has anyone else seen or heard of this before, or am I the only complete newbie here?

The Sultan of Brunei seems to own all the really exotic cars in the world. He really digs cars. He also has a four door Ferrari and a Ferrari Station wagon. And a couple of Rolls-Royce Phantoms. Just think of it and he already has one.

amazing, id love to raid his garage.

There are a few more Mythos that have been produced for the Sultan and his brother Prince Jefri , they have a blue one as well.

He has or had 8 mclaren F1's, and 14 F40's.

<B>prova4re</B> those were interesting links. That Sultan better have at least one Honda in his garage.

If i had the kind of money/influence the Sultan does, I'd get Honda to build me an NSX with all the '91 specs, zero mileage for value's sake.

Oh wait... no, i'd <B>buy Honda</B> outright, and hire you guys from Prime as consultants... oh... and new car testers.
Yes, and you would get your 550bhp HSC.

I remembered that the NSX was only available through this "Road & Car" upgrade:

Hey I've been playing that game when I was young all the time like 24 7. I can't believe that this is the same car, wow. I loved it when I had that game I used it I loved it when I played that game I used it all the time, though I remember it being called the pininfarina.
