Re: Everyday cars in Monaco...

Cool thing about Monaco is that it is technically its own countryish. I retained is principality title somehow, and therefore has some different rules than the rest of France. My question is whether that means that they have speed limit rules like Germany or Italy.

Great pics also, no other place in the world where you could find a CLK-GTR, F1 GTR, and every other car 500,000 and up ever made.

Monaco is a seperate state, unless the grimaldi's (royal family) don't have an heir, in wich case the country goes to france. I don't know about the speed limit's, but the people who live there don't have to pay taxes i believe. It is also one of the safest countyr(s in the world

or Sicily. Anyway that place is incredible. Kind of a spawning ground for the jet-set.

But they still don't have the most Ferraris per head in the world

But still, I doubt I'd ever see an EB110 on the streets here, though it's rumored someone in these parts has one and that there is another McLaren F1 in the country as well, despite XP4 leaving.

New Zealand.


about 380-odd Ferraris for a smidgen over 4 million people, works out better than Monaco, according to the local Ferrari agent.

I don't know man, Monaco has a population of 30,000 or so and i imagine there to be a lot more than 380 Ferrari's there. I think your dealer is full of it

Re: Everyday cars in Monaco...

I agree, to be under that percent, Monaco would have to only have three ferraris in its borders... there's more than that in the pictures alone

Re: Everyday cars in Monaco...

What orange one are you talking about, the McLaren F1 GTR?

the black one is a Bugatti EB110 I believe
and the last one is a Spyker C8 Spyder

Yes there are speed limits in Monaco, the same as France, 130kph on highways, but there are no highways in Monaco, it's just a town. Sometimes they get caught speeding in Southern France, the most famous (for 2003) being Juan Pablo Montoya at more than 250kph in a BMW X5.
But this kind of people don't care about a 5000$ ticket, so they continue.

For Ferrari per capita I think there are at least 500 of them in Monaco, so NZ is very far from them.
