24 sickest cars driven by the richest sheikhs

When it comes to the Middle East, many think of the sun, heat, deserts and camels. What many people don't think about is the wealth that many have acquired through their families and the titles that some hold. Many sheikhs like to brag about the abundance of their wealth, which many of us could only dream of. Their car collections consist of the most incredible, never-before-seen cars. Not only do they enjoy these cars, but they also love to show them off. These beauties are given a lot of attention and care.

Sheiks collected cars from all over the world, and also developed several of their own concepts. Their collection ranges from classics to the most expensive and exclusive cars ever made. In some cases, we could only dream of being able to own and drive such vehicles. Just sitting in one of them is a privilege, so here is a list of the 24 most unhealthy cars owned by some of the wealthiest sheikhs.

25 RAINBOW SHEIK - 50-TON DODGE POWER WAGON

One car that the Sheikh is very proud of is the Dodge 50-ton Power Wagon, which he also ordered. He built this truck in honor of the fortune his family made when they first discovered oil in the 1950s. This truck is incredible. It is one of the largest in the world and ordinary cars feel like toys.

Not only is this Dodge Power Wagon drivable; it also has a four-room apartment. Bizarbin reports that this is one of the Rainbow Sheik's favorite cars. Who could blame him? But I think filling up the gas tank or parking it will be a big problem.

The sheikh recreated this monster truck to look exactly like the original back in the days. Growing up, most kids could fit a replica car in the palm of their hand and put it in their pocket, but you can't do that with this one. The Sheik demonstrates this surrounded by other trucks to emphasize how huge he really is. There are even other trucks parked under it. Standing next to this one feels so tiny compared to it. Let's hope that while driving this behemoth, it will not be so difficult to reach the gas and brake pedals.

24 RAINBOW SHEIK - DOUBLE JEEP WRANGLER

The Double Jeep Wrangler is also in the Sheik's collection. This Jeep is a monstrous creation. This Jeep is wide and takes up a lot of space on the road. It's like two limousines welded side by side. This allows many passengers to ride together and you can have a party inside if you like. To manage this, you must be a good driver, especially when turning on the road. I have to admit that it would be cool to drive this car. Jeeps can be a lot of fun and I'm sure this one will be a blast.

This car is two jeeps welded together as one, and while driving they don't fit into normal traffic lanes. This car can seat eight people inside, four in the front and four in the back. I could not imagine that I was driving this jeep and trying to turn on the road. Driving this car will require some serious practice. Jeeps can be a lot of fun with the top down and on adventures. According to 95Octane, this car was first seen in Morocco a few years ago, and the Sheikh managed to add it to his collection.

23 RAINBOW SHEIK - DEVEL SIXTEEN

The Devel Sixteen is a wild machine and should have been included on this list. The Devel Sixteen is a beautiful car. It was actually designed after the jet fighter.

Top Speed ​​reports that this car has 5,000 horsepower and a 12.3 liter V16 engine. This supercar can reach speeds of up to 480 km/h.

With Devel Sixteen you will feel like an airplane pilot. The design of this car is sleek and aerodynamic. Inside there is a futuristic control. Don't think about trying to drive this car. This is not yet street traffic, so it will not be easy to ride it. The company is working on two outdoor versions, so you might be able to try them out in the near future.

This car first debuted in Dubai in 2017 and has a price tag of $1 million. It's not for the faint of heart. CNN reports that at the speed this car travels, you can get from one end of a football stadium to the other in seconds. Al-Attari, developer of Devel Sixteen, wants to break world records, as he explained in an interview. Al-Attari explains that this car is a beast and you won't be disappointed. This hypercar is a work of art and has been developed in secret for the past 12 years. What a secret to be able to keep.

22 Sheikh Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan - 1889 Mercedes

One of the most unusual car collections belongs to Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan. Also known as the "Rainbow Sheik", he is a member of the ruling royal family in the United Arab Emirates. The Rainbow Sheik has an incredible collection of cars. He likes a huge number of different brands, models and colors. The Sheikh is a big fan of Mercedes and has an 1889 Mercedes in excellent condition. This car has been fully restored to its original glory. An 1889 Mercedes is a car with wire wheels and a 2-cylinder V-twin engine. According to Business Insider, the Sheik loves Mercedes so much that he owns seven Mercedes S-Class cars, one for each day of the week, painted in different colors. TThe cars are on display at the Emirates National Automobile Museum in Dubai. 

In 1873, the Benz Patent-Motorwagen was invented with a two-stroke gasoline engine, which is considered the world's first mass-produced car.

Karl Benz applied for a patent for the Benz Patent-Motorwagen on January 29, 1886, and it changed the course of history. Before that, everyone rode horses and horse-drawn carts to get around and travel. According to Wayback Machines, Karl Benz invented the first three-wheeler with rubber tires. Within two years of creating Motorwagen, he began improving the engine and adding a fourth wheel to the Model III. Any car collector would be happy to have this car in their collection, and Sheikh Rainbow proved it by putting his specimen on display.

21 SHEIK TAMIM BIN HAMAD AL THANIE - PORSCHE 918 SPYDER

The Porsche 918 Spyder is also in the amazing collection of Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. It is equipped with a 4.6-liter V8 engine and develops 608 hp. at 8,500 rpm and speeds up to 200 km/h. If you ride it at maximum speed, you will feel its incredible overload. Car Throttle reports that this amazing car is the fastest production car and legal for use on public roads.

It can accelerate from 0 to 60 in just 2.2 seconds so you don't miss anything. This is a car that only the rich can truly enjoy, with a starting price of $845,000. You can always dream of one day becoming the owner of one of them.

Porsche was founded by Ferdinand Porsche and his son Ferdinand. They founded an automobile company in Stuttgart, Germany in 1931. It wasn't until the 1950s that the Porsche sports car was introduced and made history. Doug DeMuro of Autotrader got the chance to test the Porsche 918 Spyder. Demuro stated, “This is the fastest car I have ever driven and the most manageable; It's impossible not to feel like Superman behind the wheel." In this car you will pass without problems. It's definitely a beauty.

A total of 500 LaFerrari coupes were produced and Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani owns one red one. Car and Driver reports that this car accelerates from 0 to 150 mph in 9.8 seconds and is faster than the Bugatti Veyron. It reaches full throttle at 70 mph with 950 horsepower.

The LaFerrari is Ferrari's most extreme road car. Only 500 copies of the LaFerraris were produced, which makes this car very rare. In 2014, Ferrari was named the most powerful brand in the world by Brand Finance. This car will appeal to any sports car lover. The Verge also reported that Justin Bieber is a big fan of this car.

19 RAINBOW SHEIKH – ROLLS-ROYCE DUNE BUGGY

via businessinsider.com

In Dubai, sand racing is a popular sport, which is understandable, because the desert is at your fingertips. Having fun is what it's all about. The openness and sand dunes give the Rainbow Sheikh the opportunity to enjoy his dune buggy collection, which includes this Rolls-Royce sand buggy. It was made to resemble a 1930 Rolls-Royce. This car is made for fun. Whether you're on the beach or in the desert, this is the perfect vehicle. It must have been a great experience to race at top speed, nothing to worry about except maybe a sunburn. If you ever get a chance to enjoy this car, bring your sunglasses and sunscreen.

Dune buggies became popular in the 1950s and early 1960s. Residents of Southern California wanted to have fun on the beaches and tried to drive a car on the sand. It didn't work for them, so they started making their own to do just that. According to the Curbside Car Show, people have started modifying all kinds of cars by piercing and welding them together to play on the beach. Bruce Meyers is credited with creating the first fiberglass dune buggy in 1964. He began appearing in magazines for his unique designs and subsequently founded BF Meyers & Company. His dune buggies were made to resemble other vehicles. So with a giant playground in Dubai at his disposal, it's no surprise that the Rainbow Sheik made it look like a luxury car.

18 RAINBOW SHEIK – VW EURO VAN

via businessinsider.com

The Sheik is a big Star Wars fan, and one car that's especially nice to see is his VW Eurovan. Speedhunters reports that the Sheik had scenes from Star Wars episodes four through six painted all over the van. The work is beautifully painted with vibrant colors and details. The details are so amazing that they look like real movie posters. Darth Vader looks real on the passenger door. Other characters such as Chewbacca, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia are also painted on it, bringing balance to the mural. The characters in the film, as well as the spaceships and planets, are colored. This car will appeal to anyone who loves Star Wars movies. The VW Eurovan was introduced in 1992 as a 1993 model.

This van has a 109-horsepower 2.5-liter 5-cylinder engine and comes with either a standard or automatic transmission.

The popularity of this van has increased. All different people bought this van. It is not only good for business and small cargo transportation, but also used for weekend trips. According to Car and Driver, in 2000, sales of this van began to fall. VW then transformed this van into what it is today with 201 hp. at 6,200 rpm. No wonder this van is in the collection of the Rainbow Sheik.

17 RAINBOW SHEIKH – LAMBORGHINI LM002

In addition to being a Star Wars fan, Sheikh is also a big fan of trucks and SUVs. Small or big, he doesn't care. Which brings us to the next gem: the Lamborghini LM002. This is the first SUV released by the company. It's a luxury SUV with a 290-litre fuel tank, full leather trim and custom tires to handle just about any terrain. IMCD reported that this special SUV was featured in the 2009 movie The Fast and the Furious, so you know it can handle anything and still look good.

According to Lamborghini, the Lamborghini LM002 was first introduced at the 1982 Geneva Motor Show. First known as the Cheetah in 1977, this car went through a major makeover before being resold to the general public. Not only have the engine and transmission been redesigned to make them more powerful and manageable, but the interior has also been redesigned. This made this SUV ideal for travel and entertainment. The Sheikh exhibited this car at the Emirates National Automobile Museum, and anyone can look at it.

16 RAINBOW SHEIKH-  MERCEDES-BENZ G63 AMG 6X6

With love for SUVs and Mercedes-Benz, this is the perfect car for a sheik. Mercedes-Benz describes the G63 AMG 6×6 as a daredevil in the desert. It is considered one of the best SUVs ever made. Unlike other cars, this one can handle any terrain and climb any sand dune, as well as handle any weather.

It comes with six driven wheels and has 544 horsepower. This is not only a strong car, but also a luxurious car. No one expected less from Mercedes.

I can't blame the Sheikh for adding this modified monster truck to his collection. Mercedes-Benz considers it the best off-road vehicle ever made. It provides first-class comfort to the driver and passengers. This car costs around $975,000 making it very exclusive. In 2007, Mercedes developed this vehicle for the Australian Army. Between 2013 and 2015, sales exceeded 100 vehicles. Motorhead reports that this amazing vehicle was featured in the 2014 film Out of Reach. In 2015, according to Mercedes-Benz, it was also featured in the 2015 film Jurassic World.

15 RAINBOW SHEIKH - GLOBE CARAVAN

The next on the list is the Sheikh's Globus caravan. Now it is a one of a kind car. This is his own Black Spider concept car that he designed. The Sheikh wanted it to be in the shape of the world, and it was a real scale replica of the Earth. Inside this car, there are nine bedrooms (each with its own bathroom) and a kitchen distributed over three separate floors. This is a mini-hotel on wheels. Whether you are an overnight stay or a hiker, you can bring your entire family with you. There is no other car like it in the world.

If you take this campsite, everyone will notice you and want to check. The Sheikh allowed this trailer to be parked outside the Emirates National Automobile Museum. A large globe on two wheels is the first thing visitors see when they go there. Visitors are allowed to enter this caravan and explore its interior. Even though this motorhome is a camping hotel on wheels, it is not outdoor. Street right or not, this is a cool thing to create. Who could own a giant globe and turn it into a camper just for fun? The Rainbow Sheik can.

14 RAINBOW SHEIK - BEDOUIN CARAVAN

The sheikh also owns the world's largest Bedouin caravan, which should surprise no one. This Bedouin caravan entered the Guinness Book of Records in 1993 as the largest caravan. Wherever you go with this, you will be noticed, and this is exactly what the Sheikh likes.

It has 8 bedrooms and 4 garages, which allows the sheikh to take several of his cars with him. The Bedouin caravan is 20 meters long, 12 meters high and 12 meters wide.

This caravan is parked outside his museum in Dubai. It is parked there so people can see it while waiting to enter the museum.

Most Star Wars fans will recognize this vehicle as the Sandcrawler. The Sandcrawler is a fort on wheels used by Jawa scavengers. The scavengers in the film used this vehicle on desert planets to search for valuables, and were also able to hold off 1,500 droids, according to Fandom. So, it is understandable why the sheikh would own it. Given the Arabian Desert, it seems appropriate to use this. Being able to use this in the desert and spend a few nights gazing at the stars in comfort should be really cool to make any Star Wars fan feel part of the series.

13 RAINBOW SHEIK – 1954 DODGE LANCER

According to Car Throttle, one of the Rainbow Sheik's favorite cars is his 1954 Dodge Lancer. This car is completely original and in excellent condition. The paint on the car, like the interior, is native. It also only has shipping miles. This is a very rare Dodge, especially today. This car would be cool to drive and take you back in time. This classic car is truly part of American automotive history.

This car has been used for strip driving, racing, beach trips, and long trips. This car is beautiful and whoever owns this truly classic car is in luck. The Dodge Lancer 54 has 110 horsepower and is available in convertible and hardtop versions. Its rear fender chrome trim was designed to look like fins. This classic car must be amazing to take on a cruise on a fine Sunday afternoon or warm Saturday night. This car makes you wish they would bring back car movie theaters and restaurants. Of course, things have changed since the 1950s.

12 RAINBOW SHEIKH - A GIANT TEXACO TANKER

So, we could not help including the giant tanker Texaco in the list. This is a huge tanker, and it belongs to the sheikh in honor of all the wealth he has acquired. He made his fortune from oil, so this is an especially good way to honor him. No wonder it ends up in his collection. Most truck builders can only build diecast Texaco toy cars. It shows the power and wealth that has been generated from the oil industry.

Texaco has been in business for many years and is owned by the Chevron Corporation. Chevron Corporation is an American company founded in 1879 and operating in 180 countries. According to the SEC database, on October 15, 2000, Chevron bought Texaco for approximately $95 billion, making this the fourth largest merger in history. The company works with energy resources from oil to natural gas. When it comes to transporting fuel, they use ships, trains, trucks and tankers.

Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani of Qatar cannot be missed on this list. He is also very fond of his "big boy" toys and displays them. An example of this is his McLaren P1. McLaren says only 350 will be made and that this special car is made to work. Every part of this car has been designed down to the last detail. It also has a cockpit angled towards the center of the vehicle. This car has a 7-speed dual clutch continuously variable transmission and develops 986 horsepower.

You will need to reach into your pocket to pay the starting price of a staggering $3.36 million. Considering all the features of this car and its design, this would be a great investment; for the same reason, the Rainbow Sheikh has one in his collection in Dubai.

Also in the collection of cars of Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani is Pagani Huayra Purple. This car made the list for a reason other than the fact that it was in my favorite color. In total, three such cars were produced. This Pagani Huayra even comes with 20- and 21-inch gold wheels. It also produces 730 horsepower from a 12cc twin-turbo V5,980 engine. see received from Mercedes. In this car you will fly on the road. At maximum speed, you will be blurry. It would be really fun to drive it and see how it handles.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration did not approve it. Jay Leno, who is also an avid car collector, said during the Supercar of the Year awards that the Pagani Huayra is "unbelievable, like a dream come true." I agree with Leno about this car; it's really fantastic. This car is reserved for a special group of people, as its starting price is $1.6 million.

This is Lamborghini's most powerful car to date, and it's definitely not meant for amateur drivers.

The cost of this wild car is 1.9 million dollars. Personally, I think this magnificent machine puts the Batmobile to shame.

I just love the Lamborghini Centenario. Driving this car, who needs to fly an airplane at the speed it can develop? According to Motor Trend, this car is very loud and has three separate exhaust pipes. However, Lamborghini's Chief Technology Officer Maurizio Reggiani said customers were complaining that the sound wasn't loud enough, which is pretty hard to believe.

6 SHEIKH TANUN BIN SULTAN AL NAHIAN – ASTON MARTIN LAGONDA

Sheikh Tahnoun Bin Sultan Al Nahyan from the Eastern Region of the United Arab Emirates has a lot of cars. The Aston Martin Lagonda is a classic and it's amazing.
