Royal rides: Super wheels in Malaysian King’s luxe garage
From Rolls-Royce to Flintmobile and timeless classics, the monarch’s fleet of vehicles is the epitome of grandeur
[KUALA LUMPUR] Malaysian King Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar’s immense passion for automobiles has thrust him back into the spotlight after he recently became the first owner of the Hongqi L5, a luxury limousine made in China that’s also used by Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The ultra-luxury sedan in retro-modern design joins the new king’s stable of over 300 luxury cars, including a Bugatti Veyron and a replica wooden car inspired by The Flintstones cartoon.
The Business Times takes a closer look at six of the stand-out cars in his stable:
