A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE from the East Midlands, Britain, is believed to be the first person in the world to own the “Holy Trinity” of hypercars — with a combined worth of more than £3 million(US$4.5 million).
Businessman Paul Bailey already owned the £866,000 McLaren P1 and in just one day added the Porsche 918 Spyder and the LaFerrari — tripling his hypercar collection in a matter of hours.
He drove with his wife and his friend to collect the Ferrari, which he ordered two years ago, before making a 200-mile (321-km) round trip to Cambridge to pick up the limited edition Porsche.
The three vehicles, which all boast top speeds of more than 200 mph, are all considered to be “hypercars” — top-tier cars whose features, price and rarity sets them apart from “regular” supercars.
On Saturday, the grandfather-of-three drove his McLaren supercar from his home in Rutland, East Midlands, to a Ferrari dealership in Nottingham.
There, his wife Selena, 46, got behind the wheel of the McLaren, while he drove his £1.2 million Ferrari LaFerrari — a luxury car that he ordered two years ago.
The couple, who have four children, then drove 100 miles to a Porsche dealership in Cambridge, where his friend, who was traveling with them, picked up his 918 Spyder, worth £780,000.(SD-Agencies)
