The FIA president's car collection is a sight to behold
Mohammed Ben Sulayem might spend most of his life in paddocks around the world, especially after being re-elected as FIA president, but his love for cars keeps him wishing he were on the other side of the pitwall.
His car collection is proof of his passion for speed, with the list of cars reading more like a dream garage than anything else thanks to a number of highly expensive, highly bespoke and highly powerful machines. From the modern Mercedes-AMG ONE to a coveted Mercedes CLK GTR, if you can dream it, Ben Sulayem likely owns it.
There is a caveat up front, however: Ben Sulayem's full collection is private, so while there's no public list, we can have an educated guess at what he has hidden behind the garage door. The Emirati has spoken previously about many of these and a large portion of the collection has been shown to the public, while some have only been reported by multiple trusted sources.
Before we get to the full list, it's worth highlighting two Koenigseggs that are the cherry on top of a substantial collection. The first is the Koenigsegg Chimera: a one-off build that started life as an Agera RS but was rebuilt with the powertrain of a Jesko and the gearbox of a CC850.

The second is a Regera with the chassis number 7919. It's a conversion project that, like the other Swedish hypercar, will use the gearbox of a CC850, but will have its hybrid powertrain stripped away to leave just the twin-turbo V8. This engine will be tuned to upwards of 1600hp.
These two cars sit alongside a long-reported list of legendary machines, including a Bugatti Veyron and a Ferrari F40.
