Michael Fux’s car collection is so huge and mesmerizing that it can easily overshadow his entrepreneurial success and philanthropic endeavors. He has owned more than 150 distinct models but Michael hardly sticks to them for long. He sends a set of cars to auctions and buys new ones again. It is hard to specify the exact number of cars he currently has but it is surely worth above $50 million.
2022 GMC Hummer EV SUT
It is hard to believe that a car enthusiast who spends heavily on luxury sedans or sports cars would be interested in a pickup. Then again, the GMC Hummer EV belongs to a whole different level. This electric pickup has rocked the pickup truck market and Michael is not someone to sit back and watch.
2022 GMC Hummer EV SUT | Specs |

0-60 MPH | 3.3 seconds |
Top Speed | 106 MPH |
Michael Fux characteristically ordered the first batch and got himself the mammoth of a truck delivered to him in 2022. It is understandable that Michael cannot single out one factor he loves about the car as everything including its enormity, overall looks and performance is top-notch. The Hummer EV SUT Edition 1 comes in a standard white exterior and black accents.
2018 Maserati Quattroporte
The Maserati Quattroporte has been one of the most popular luxury sedans since 1963 from the Italian manufacturer. Michael Fux went for a recent model year and his Quattroporte is one of those cars that comes without a special story behind it. However, that doesn’t seem to be unfair because the Maserati comes with great performance and alluring features to make it special.
2018 Maserati Quattroporte | Specs |
---|---|
Price | $145,900 (stock) |
Powertrain | 3.8L V8 |
Horsepower | 523 hp |
Torque | 524 lb-ft |
Transmission | 8-speed Automatic |
0-60 MPH | 4.7 seconds |
Top Speed | 190 MPH |
Moreover, Michael has sold so many cars in the past few years but there is no news of the 2018 Maserati Quattroporte going under the hammer which proves that it is indeed a special entity in his garage. The full-size sedan comes with two engine options and Fux opted for the bigger engine with greater horsepower and commendable driving experience.
2023 BMW Alpina XB7
The Cuban-American businessman has had several BMWs in his garage, but he owns only one Alpina model. Mr. Fux has also sold several of his BMW models to make space for newer cars but the Alpina XB7 is very dear to him. The white exterior with black accents looks pretty basic but Michael says it's the acceleration and handling that make it special.
2023 BMW Alpina XB7 | Specs |
---|---|
Price | $145,995 (stock) |
Powertrain | 4.4L Twin-turbo V8 |
Horsepower | 630 hp |
Torque | 590 lb-ft |
Transmission | 8-speed Automatic |
0-60 MPH | 3.9 seconds |
Top Speed | 180 MPH |
Inside the Alpina XB7 Michael has got an infotainment system that looks nothing short of a gaming console. This BMW was the first Alpina model in the US and he fell in love with it so much that he ordered another one in the same color. Michael was a fan of the BMW X7 as well but the Alpina delivering more horses and being way faster stole his heart.
2001 Ferrari 360 Spider
Michael, despite having so many outrageous cars in his garage, thinks that the Ferrari 360 Spider is one of the coolest he has. He might have felt nostalgic while talking about the 360 since it was his second Ferrari but there is no denying that Spider looks lit inside and out.
2001 Ferrari 360 Spider | Specs |
---|---|
Price | $176,075 (stock) |
Powertrain | 3.6L V8 |
Horsepower | 400 hp |
Torque | 275 lb-ft |
Transmission | 6-speed Manual |
0-60 MPH | 4.3 seconds |
Top Speed | 183 MPH |
The exterior has a dark blue hue and on the interior, Michael has commissioned a Beige shade which Ferrari doesn’t do anymore for safety reasons. The inside of a convertible always has an extra flare than the closed-top variants and the black accents prove no difference. However, what stands out is the “Crafted in Italy for Michael Fux” engraving in front of the gear knob and Michael said that he is never going to sell the 360 Spider.
2011 Bentley Continental GTC
Michael has owned four Bentley models but only two of them are still in his garage. The Bentley Continental from the early 2010s is one of them and the business often posts about his Bentley Continental GTC, a luxury grand touring car that comes in a fixed-roof coupe and soft-top convertible. It boasts a gorgeous exterior that demonstrates the perfect blend of comfort and athleticism.
2011 Bentley Continental GTC | Specs |
---|---|
Price | $236,100 (stock) |
Powertrain | 6.0L Twin-turbo W12 |
Horsepower | 552 hp |
Torque | 479 lb-ft |
Transmission | 6-speed Automatic |
0-60 MPH | 4.5 seconds |
Top Speed | 195 MPH |
The interior is swathed with top-quality leather and fine wood veneers, and all of this takes the car's styling to a whole new level. Michael often posts about his Bentley Continental GTC, a luxury grand touring car that comes in a fixed-roof coupe and soft-top convertible.
2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost
The Rolls-Royce Ghost is another RR model in Fux’s garage that he has only one unit of. He got the sedan in 2010 which means he ordered it as soon as it was launched. However, Michael didn’t go for the colorful hues as he went for the rest of his Rolls-Royce arsenal.
2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost | Specs |
---|---|
Price | $245,000 (stock) |
Powertrain | 6.6L Twin-turbo V12 |
Horsepower | 563 hp |
Torque | 575 lb-ft |
Transmission | 8-speed Automatic |
0-60 MPH | 4.9 seconds |
Top Speed | 155 MPH |
The Ghost exterior is hand-polished in Fux Arctic White while the interior leather is in a matching Arctic White. This white leather is not just for the seats as Fux requested every bit of his cabin to be covered in the same. However, a contrasting Consort Red thread has been used for the stitching on his seats and dashboard.
2017 McLaren 720S
Michael was tremendously happy with the way his Rolls-Royce vehicles came out after his suggested modifications. He loved the work so much that he wanted to try the same with other cars as well and the McLaren 720S was among the very few that he achieved success. Michael chose the Fuschia from his Dawn to wrap the 720S.
2017 McLaren 720S | Specs |
---|---|
Price | $280,000 (stock) |
Powertrain | 4.0L Twin-turbo V8 |
Horsepower | 710 hp |
Torque | 568 lb-ft |
Transmission | 7-speed Dual-clutch Automatic |
0-60 MPH | 2.8 seconds |
Top Speed | 212 MPH |
Although a purple McLaren 720S is quite common nothing looks as gorgeous as the McLaren in Fuschia. The interior of the supercar is in complete contrast with the white wrap and black highlights. Unlike many of his other McLarens, there is no news of the 720S being auctioned off.
2014 Rolls-Royce Wraith
Michael has a tendency to get the newest Rolls-Royce model as soon as it is launched and he did the same for his Rolls-Royce Wraith. He booked his Wraith immediately after hearing the news and got the coupe delivered to him in 2014. The Wraith comes with another Bespoke color named after him and the Fux Aequus Green Jade Pearl stands out with ease.
2010 Rolls-Royce Wraith | Specs |

Price | $284,900 (stock) |
Powertrain | 6.6L Twin-turbo V12 |
Horsepower | 624 hp |
Torque | 590 lb-ft |
Transmission | 8-speed Automatic |
0-60 MPH | 4.3 seconds |
Top Speed | 155 MPH |
However, the exterior is a two-tone and the other shade is also an exclusive hue named Cornish White Jade Pearl. The green and white exterior is matched inside the cabin also as most of it is wrapped in Aequus Green and the rest in white. On the floor, you will find lambswool floormats and the usual engraving with Fux’s name is there as well.
2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan was the 12th RR model in the entrepreneur’s car collection and it was decorated in the 10th Bespoke color that was reserved for Mr. Fux. The Cullinan stands tall wrapped in Fux Orange and it was unveiled by Torsten Müller-Ötvös at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering in 2019.

Transmission | 8-speed Automatic |
0-60 MPH | 5.0 seconds |
Top Speed | 155 MPH |
The interior is Artic White with orange stitching on the dashboard and the seats. The combination of White and Fux Orange inside the cabin proves that the Bespoke team has never failed to deliver a one-of-a-kind product to their most prolific patron. The array of hundreds of features grows dim compared to the Bespoke hues.
2007 Bentley Azure
The second Bentley still in Michael Fux’s collection is also an open-top model but this one is quite unique. The stunning Bentley Azure comes with a Chestnut Brown exterior but the interior didn’t come from the manufacturer. Michael went to Jaguar asking for a matching interior hue and they agreed to use a saddle pallet that looks extraordinary.

0-60 MPH | 5.6 seconds |
Top Speed | 168 MPH |
The leather seats are slightly lighter appearing to be in creme but they are a shade of brown as well while the foldable roof is in dark slate gray that looks almost blacked out. The cabin is complemented by all the latest features of its time including a Bowers & Wilkins audio system and the most exclusive part is the Rolls-Royce-type Bentley logo that stands with pride at the front of the hood.
2015 Rolls-Royce Dawn
You have already realized that Micahel Fux is a special customer for Rolls-Royce and their Bespoke team loves him. The car collector’s unique requests allow Rolls-Royce to showcase their work of art and the two Dawn models are glowing examples of that.
In 2015, Mr. Fux commissioned his first Rolls-Royce Dawn, giving birth to the term Dawn in Fuxia (Fuschia), inspired by the Fuschia plant he found in Pebble Beach, California. His Dawn was already a museum-worthy piece but he had another request for the Bespoke team the next year only. He showed them Pansy petals which came in a shade of blue and asked them to replicate it for the exterior.

0-60 MPH | 4.9 seconds |
Top Speed | 155 MPH |
The Rolls-Royce Bespoke team passed his test with flying colors delivering his second Rolls-Royce Dawn in 2016 wrapped in Fux Blue Candy and reserving 5 more colors exclusively for Micahel. Notably, both the Dawn models come with white interiors complimented with the respected exterior shades for highlights.
2013 Ferrari 458 Italia Spyder
Michael Fux bought his Ferrari 458 Spider in 2013 and it has an interesting shade on both inside and out. Michael loves visiting different car museums and factories and once visited a Ferrari factory. He saw a 1953 model with unique paint closely resembling Hunter Green. According to Fux, the Ferrari reminded him of the Ferrari 375 MM that famous director Roberto Rosolinni gifted his wife Ingrid Bergman.

0-60 MPH | 3.1 seconds |
Top Speed | 199 MPH |
He talked to the classic Ferrari shop and figured out the exact color then commissioned his 458 Spider in the same exterior color and leather from Ferrari. What makes the Pininfarina design more exciting is the parts that look black from a distance are actually tinted in dark green that looks stunning up close. In a recent video, Michael disclosed that many people offered him big bucks but he is not selling his unique Ferrari.
2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre
The Rolls-Royce Spectre is the first fully electric vehicle from the British manufacturer and it is highly unlikely for Fux to not have one in his garage. Michael wanted to own the first-ever Spectre on US soil and we all know that all his RR models are highly customized. However, there was a small roadblock since the delivery for stock models started in late 2023 and there was no way for the Bespoke team to make the customizations that quickly.
2010 Rolls-Royce Spectre | Specs |
---|---|
Price | $422,750 (stock) |
Powertrain | Dual-Electric Motor |
Horsepower | 577 hp |
Torque | 664 lb-ft |
Transmission | Single-speed Direct Drive |
0-60 MPH | 4.2 seconds |
Top Speed | 155 MPH |
There was no way to fulfill both his demands and long story short, the Mattress King CEO cheated to get his way. He booked not one, but two Spectre models, one is the stock which will act as a fill-in to make the first US model record, and the other with “Fux-Juicy-blank” will arrive somewhere in late 2024. There is a good chance that the 2-door coupe with Tempest Grey exterior and a white leather interior with yellow piping will go out of his garage as soon as the customized model arrives.
2011 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe
Rolls-Royce Bespoke team literally has no boundaries when it comes to clients like Michael Fux and his Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe is another proud example for them. The businessman got this convertible in 2011 before he got his second Rolls-Royce Dawn and the DHC comes in Fux Deep Purple.
2010 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe | Specs |
---|---|
Price | $447,000 (stock) |
Powertrain | 6.7L Twin-turbo V12 |

Torque | 531 lb-ft |
Transmission | 6-speed Automatic |
0-60 MPH | 5.4 seconds |
Top Speed | 149 MPH |
According to a social media post from Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, the exterior shade is another special commission from Michael and it was inspired by the same type of plant from the California beach. The removable top looks closer to the shade of deep blue but the interior has the same pearl white with dark highlights.
The Phantom Drophead Coupe, like his other Rolls-Royce models, has details on the side - “Hand Built in Goodwood, England for Michael Fux”. Michael later commissioned two more Drophead Coupes one in Fux Red Candy and the other in Fux Yellow.
2007 Ferrari 612 Sessanta
According to Exclusive Car Registry, Michael Fux still holds one to his Ferrari 612 Sessanta. The Italian manufacturer made the specific model based on the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the brand. Michael’s Ferrari was among the 60 limited editions and it was wrapped in a dual-tone exterior.
2007 Ferrari 612 Sessanta | Specs |

Horsepower | 533 hp |
Torque | 434 lb-ft |
Transmission | 6-speed Manual |
0-60 MPH | 4.1 seconds |
Top Speed | 199 MPH |
However, instead of going for the more common red and black theme, Mr. Fux chose to be unique with an Avorio over Blu Scozia color scheme. The interior of the 2007 Sessanta comes in fully-trimmed leather in Cioccolato while the Bianco quilted stitching can make you stare at it with awe the whole day.
2020 Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII Extended Wheelbase
Much like his Dawn in Fuxia, Michael also has a Phantom in Fuxia. However, there is a big difference as in this case, Mr. Fux chose the interior to be in Fuschia instead of the exterior. His Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII is an Extended Wheelbase version and much like his many other limousin-type cars, the Phantom comes in a white wrap - Arctic White to be precise.
2010 Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII Extended Wheelbase | Specs |
---|---|
Price | $494,925 (stock) |

Horsepower | 563 hp |
Torque | 664 lb-ft |
Transmission | 8-speed Automatic |
0-60 MPH | 5.5 seconds |
Top Speed | 155 MPH |
Most people used to frown upon his choice of hues but Michael came a long way to overcome their confusion regarding offbeat colors. In fact, people really love his wraps. The Fuschia interior, complemented by the starry roof inside the cabin is a one-of-a-kind since Rolls-Royce will never make the same for anyone else in the world. He also has another Phantom in the same exterior but the interior is Green Jade Pearl like his Wraith.
2021 Ferrari 812 Competizione
Michael has a Ferrari 812 Competizione that is the latest from the 812 series and it is probably the last of its kind as well. The entrepreneur-philanthropist has his Ferrari in a bright and beautiful glaring red and we are not talking about just the exterior here. The inside of the 812 is also in matching red.
2021 Ferrari 812 Competizione | Specs |

Horsepower | 819 hp |
Torque | 513 lb-ft |
Transmission | 7-speed Dual-clutch Automatic |
0-60 MPH | 2.8 seconds |
Top Speed | 211 MPH |
Apart from the look which is handsomely contrasted with black highlights, Michael says that he loves it because the Ferrari doesn’t come with everything electric and automatic. The sports seats and comfortable and you need to pump the handles to move them up or down. The sport mode offers the actual thrill but Mr. Fux admitted that he has never driven it over 125 when the top speed is above 200 MPH.
2019 Hispano-Suiza Carmen Boulogne
Hispano-Suiza is a Spanish company that returned to manufacturing automobiles after almost 70 years and it is ready to take on the world with its all-electric sports car. The Hispano-Suiza Carmen was teased at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show and Michael being the car enthusiast he is, was quick to book one for himself.

Top Speed | 180 MPH |
The Carmen showcased in Geneva was gray and Mr. Fux was not going to be satisfied with such an appearance. So he connected with the manufacturers and requested an exclusive wrap. Michael Fux’s Hispano-Suiza Carmen Boulogne is painted in Ocean Song Rose which resembles his Fuschia Rolls-Royce Dawn and it enhances the retro look beautifully. Michael recently took delivery of the Carmen and the keys were handed over by the CEO Sergio Martinez Campos.
Honorable Mentions:
Below, we discuss the cars that were once owned by Michael Fux but he decided to sell them to make space in his garage.
1942 Buick Special Convertible
Before Michael Fux was totally hooked by modern supercars, he had a keen eye for classic and vintage automobiles. The Buick Special Convertible from 1942 is a prime example of that. Michael bought it from famous automotive designer Chip Foose who also has an amazing car collection.

The Buick Special was wrapped in a Royal Maroon exterior and the cabin had matching leathers. The refinished chrome trim and the white rims made it look like it had just rolled out of a royal garage. However, Michael didn’t hold on to it for long and the convertible was one of the big attractions at the 2019 Mecum Auctions.
1951 MG TD Roadster
Michael Fux has owned only one car from MG and it was a roadster. The 1951 MG TD Roadster was one of the most beautiful classic vehicles from his car collection. The bright Green paint on the outside and the Tan theme on the inside made it look absolutely gorgeous.

The MG TD was restored somewhere during the end of the last century but it is still in pretty good shape. It is hard to guess that the Roadster has over 50 thousand miles on the clock although we are pretty sure Michael drove less than a thousand miles in it. The MG with VIN TD3677EXLU was sold in 2018.
1936 Cadillac Series 70 Fleetwood Convertible Coupe
Out of the 2 vintage Cadillac cars from Michael's collection, the Series 70 had a more striking appearance. That is because the Fleetwood Convertible, unlike the Series 370 was given a new shade of paint. It was originally restored once in the 90s but Michael chose to refresh it again in 2015.

Currently, the Cadillac convertible has a Moss Green exterior while the insides are wrapped in contrasting Tan leather and a similar shaded dashboard. Michael even opted for color-matched wheels with trim rings and wheel covers for his Series 70 Fleetwood Convertible but he finally sold it in a 2019 auction.
1956 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
The oldest and classiest Corvette that ever rolled in Michael Fux’s garage was the 1956 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible. The open-top beauty was not as colorful as the more recent model years but the black exterior combined with the red interior and white roof could steal all the attention with ease.

Top Speed | 129 MPH |
Although it has never been disclosed by Mr. Fux how much money he spent on the 1956 Corvette the restoration process surely didn’t come cheap. The white curve on the body is the most highlighted part and it was also tricky to get it to its original tone. Unfortunately, the handsome convertible with a VIN E56S001685 was auctioned off in 2018.
1931 Cadillac Series 370 Phaeton
The 1931 Cadillac Series 370 Phaeton had its original residence at Richard and Linda Kughn’s Collection before Michael bought it for himself. However, there had been a comprehensive restoration done on the vehicle in the early 90s and when Fux brought it to the 2019 Mecum Auctions, it still looked straight out of production.

The 370 Phaeton was kept in its original two-tone Burgundy and white and the same Burgundy was chosen for the interior leather. The dashboard had white accents that looked like it had a light blue hue added to it. The Caddy Series 370 Cadillac-Lasalle Club Senior Award was sold by Michael to bring in newer sports cars in his garage.
1958 Pontiac Bonneville Hardtop
The 1958 Pontiac Bonneville Hardtop was owned by Bob Nance before it came under the possession of Michael Fux. However, it was not received in its original state as Michael went through a complete restoration for the classic Bonneville. He spent over $100k to bring it back to its glory days.

The Pontiac shines in its original black while the interior is wrapped in silver with black highlights. The wide Whitewall tires that Mr. Fux chose for the hardtop shine bright and much like many of his other vintage gems, the Bonneville was also sold at Mecum Auctions in 2018.
1960 Pontiac Bonneville Bubble Top
The Pontiac Bonneville was among the most popular cars of its time and the 1960 Bubble Top came as the top of the line from the brand. The manufacturer wanted to offer a fresh point of view to the customers and take one look at it, you will agree that it is a must-have for collectors like Michael Fux. However, the businessman ultimately got rid of the Pontiac a few years ago.

The visual apex towards the middle of this Bonneville was the most exclusive part while the same V8 was carried over from the predecessor models. The car went through a comprehensive restoration when Micahel bought it and he opted for the original white exterior. The tri-tone interior in Marron and Orange with whiteish highlights made it a dream car for many.
1958 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible
There is a pattern for Michael Fux to collect cars - if he owns a coupe and there is a convertible version out there, we can rest assured that he has the second body type as well. The Pontiac Bonneville is no exception as the avid collector owned the 1958 convertible variant and it was in White.

Unlike the Hardtop version, the Convertible was not as thoroughly restored but the car still looks as good as new with the odometer showing 19,449 miles before Michael auctioned it off in 2018. The Blue two-tone leather interior was a big highlight but a closer look would reveal that the seats were old.
1957 Buick Super Convertible
Michael had two classic convertibles from Buick and the Super Convertible was the better-looking one among the two. Wrapped in a two-tone Starlight Blue and Dover White the 1957 Buick Super Convertible was among Mr. Fux’s favorite. The interior had a similar dual-tone theme but instead of white, it had light blue.

Just like the name, the Super Convertible had some similarities with the Special Convertible in terms of engineering. The 1957 convertible is equipped with a larger Fireball V8 compared to its predecessor while having a slightly longer wheelbase. The Buick with a VIN 5D4035724 was sold in 2018 at Mecum Auctions which is Michael’s go-to place for offloading his cars.
1937 Packard 1508 Twelve Convertible Sedan
The Packard sedan was such a beauty that we often wonder why Michael would auction it off. The brilliant restoration delivered by expert Ray Belsito made the 1937 convertible look like it came out of the factory yesterday. The Buckingham Gray exterior contrasted with the Red leather seats and Woodgrain interior accents was a breathtaking sight.

Michael Fux’s 1937 Packard 1508 Twelve Convertible Sedan was the final Packard model that came with a 144-inch wheelbase. The Swan Hood mascot gives it a royal appearance while the Whitewall tires enhance the look even further. Michael reached out to his favorite auction house for the Packard 12 with VIN 1073232 in 2018 and it finally got a bidder in 2019.
1958 Jaguar XK150 Fixed Head Coupe
Despite the reputation that Jaguar has in the automotive market, in terms of both appearance and performance, Michael had owned very few of its models. However, the entrepreneur did go for a coupe from the British manufacturer and the XK150 is among the rarest and most expensive models in the resell market.

1997 Saleen S281 Convertible
As a high-performance variant of the Ford Mustang, Michael Fux has included this car within the list of its collection. This specific model was modified by Saleen Automotive and it mainly impressed MR. Fux by its easy-to-handle ability which is caused by its suspension upgrades.

2011 BMW 335i
While observing the super collection of Michael Fux, it is clear that he prioritized the power of the engine over the acceleration. He highlights that the 335i offers him a precise steering experience and excellent operating balance, especially on winding roads.

2013 Ford Shelby GT500
Most of the Ford models that Michael Fux brought under his roof were classic ones but the Shelby GT500 is among the only modern vehicles. The all-black muscle car was purchased in 2013 and the odometer says that Michael used to love driving it during the short period it was in his possession.

The exact reason for selling the Ford Shelby GT500 was never disclosed but Michael tends to reshuffle his garage every once in a while and the GT500 being auctioned in 2019 must be the result of that. The Ford was not brought in at stock condition as the enthusiast chose both the SVT Performance Package and SVT Track Package while purchasing.
2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06
Michael Fux had not one but two Corvette Z06 models and the two came in different body Styles. The 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 coupe with a VIN 1G1YT2D61F5605458 was painted in Velocity Yellow complemented by a Jet Black interior.

On the other hand, the Corvette Z06 convertible with a VIN 1G1YT3D64F5604245 was wrapped in Artic White while on the inside it had dual-tone Kalahari and black. The convertible looked more dashing inside and out but unfortunately, Michael offloaded both the Z06s to Mecum Auction.
2006 BMW E60 M5
Michael Fux feels that the most attainable feature of the 2006 BMW E60 M5 model is its well-crafted interior design and inclusion of advanced technology. The noteworthy feature of this model called the Electronic Damper Control or EDC system contributed to the inclusion of this supercar in Michael Fux's collection.

2014 BMW M4 GTS - Matte Gray
The BMW M4 GTS is the most high-performance model BMW has produced in 2014, which graces Michael Fux's car collection. It was introduced as a limited edition model which created hype among Americans like Fux about collecting this car.

2014 BMW M5 Gran Coupe
Michael Fux had a 2014 BMW M5 that he sold at a Mecum Auction. The 2014 sedan was a fully equipped performance vehicle and the Cuban-American entrepreneur chose Sakhir Orange Metallic paint for its exterior. The BMW looked like a beast with incredible acceleration and its lightweight 20-inch Black wheels looked Menacing.

Michael had it for just over 5 years but it appeared to be brand new when Michael bought it for the auction. The orange interior highlighted in black deserved all the attention while the light gray accent on the dashboard made sure you were not too distracted during the drive. The BMW sedan with VIN WBSFV9C57ED097178 was considered a one-of-kind in Michael's garage.
2014 BMW M6
Aside from the M5 Gran Coupe Michael had another BMW from the same model year but it was a coupe, not a sedan. The BMW M6 had the same Sakhir Orange Metallic exterior as the M5 and the interior came in a similar dual-tone orange and black. The two looked like siblings except the M6 had 2 doors instead of 4.

Michael was clearly lenient towards the sedan since he didn’t even drive 150 miles in his M6 coupe despite its thrilling performance. The outputs from the M package and the sweet sounds from the Bang and Olufsen audio system were not enough for the businessman as he sold the BMW M6 in 2019 just like his other Silver M6 which was auctioned a few years earlier.
2013 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series
Almost two decades ago Mercedes-Benz started producing the AMG Black Series and offered us 6 different models. Michael Fux, being a true car collector, bought as many as five of them. The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series bought in 2013 was not his first among the lot but it was the most affordable option.

The German manufacturer originally intended to make 650 units of the C63 AMG which was later extended to 800 units and Michael grabbed one for himself as soon as it reached the US soil. The Black Series coupe was available in several vibrant colors but the business icon opted for the signature Black exterior to stay true to the name of the limited edition.
2011 Maserati Quattroporte
The 2011 Maserati Quattroporte offers Michael Fux a compelling blend of Italian design as well as superior performance. Also, Mr. Fux likes the responsible handling nature of this model, which provides him a good balance between agility and comfort. Additionally, he claimed that the skyhook adaptive suspension system increased the quality of its riding.

Michael Fux's Maserati QP model presented at Mecum Auctions was originally in Bordeaux Pontevecchio color which is very attractive. However, Fux believed that the car's sporty driving dynamics make it valuable despite its poor fuel efficiency and higher maintenance costs.
2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
Michael had a total of at least five Corvettes and the two Corvette ZR1 models suffered the same fate as their siblings. Mr. Fux had one ZR1 coupe with VIN 1G1Y52D97K5800916 and a ZR1 convertible with VIN 1G1Y53D95K5800936.

The coupe variant had a Sebring Orange exterior with a Jet Black interior while the convertible had the same Arctic White as the Z06 but with a Spice Red interior. Both the ZR1 models were from 2019 and it’s a pity that both had to go under the hammer.
2014 Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition
Michael’s love for exclusive and limited edition cars is known to the masses so his Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition does not come as a surprise. According to Motortrend, this Porsche special edition is the “best-looking Porsche ever” and it is also the “best 911 ever” and we are in accord here.

However, for the second statement, we would add that it was the best 911 of its time as we have already seen 911 models with better acceleration, handling, and stability. As for the looks, the Geyser Gray Metallic paint on the exterior and the Agate Gray leather interior might not be the most vibrant colors but together they offer an atypical appearance. The electric glass sunroof and Sport Classic wheels with Fuchs rim design made this 911 a true one-of-a-kind.
2022 Tesla Model S Plaid
The Tesla Model S Plaid is the second cheapest vehicle out of the four electric cars from Michael Fux (not counting the customized Rolls-Royce Spectre that is yet to arrive). The Model S offers commendable performance on its own but the Plaid version takes it up a notch where there is almost no competition in the EV market for such a powerful yet affordable sedan.

Michael got the 2022 Model S Plaid without any customization but for some reason, it was not enough to satisfy the tycoon. As a result, Mr. Fux unloaded the only Tesla with the VIN 5YJSA1E63NF468807 from his garage on the Mecum Auctions.
2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series
The first car from the AMG Black Series that Michael got his hands on was the CLK 63 AMG. This 500-unit Mercedes-Benz was further limited to only 349 for the US market and Michael Fux didn’t waste any time ordering one for his garage. Just like the C63 the CLK-Class was in black as well.

The Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG limited edition had the lowest odometer reading among the four cars that Micahel sold in 2019 as the AMG Black Series Quartet. The Merc with VIN WDBTJ77H78F244198 was sold in Mecum Auctions and the business tycoon was able to get a good return for his investment.
2006 Ford GT
Michael Fux had a Ford GT in his garage and it was in the same red paint with white stripes as the original Ford GT that won the 1967 Le Mans. It is a well-known fact that the 2006 Ford GT was designed keeping the original design in mind and the appearance is quite similar as well with the modern version being a bit larger.

Michael, in addition to the sticker price, paid for all the available options which include painted racing stripes, lightweight forged wheels, red painted calipers, and the McIntosh sound system. However, he hardly drove the GT with serial number 1FAFP90S96Y401574 in 15 years before selling it at a Mecum Auction in 2018.
2018 Porsche 911 GT3
Michael Fux owns or has owned so many incredible cars that it is impossible to point out which is less special than the others but the Porsche 911 GT3 has certainly been his least favorite car from the lot. The avid car collector has only driven it 51 miles and it is also one of the few cars he has had for less than a year.

The 2018 911 GT3 with a serial number WP0AC2A90JS174581 was sold in 2019 Mecum Auctions and the $25k spent for the additional features didn’t offer him a good return either. The GT3 with Guards Red exterior and Black interior reminds us of its RS counterpart but the appearance and performance were not enough to impress Mr. Fux.
2011 Ferrari FF
As a businessman, Michael Fux needed a durable car, which could give him long-term service, and the Ferrari FF was the perfect fit for him. This car offers a luxurious interior with rarity and collectibility at a very low price, which is more crucial to car lovers like Fux.

2005 Aston Martin DBR9
The 2005 Aston Martin DBR9 from Michael’s garage takes it up a notch with its racing history. The Corvette Racing team was dominating the American Le Mans Series during that period and Bell Motorsports wanted some share of that glory. Jim Bell shook hands with Michael Fux to launch a GT1 program featuring the Aston Martin DBR9.

The Dark Green Aston Martin with number 88 was auctioned off by Mr. Fux a few years later.
1999 Porsche 911 GT
The dynamic driving characteristics of this car is considered as an attractive feature of this car that attracts Michael Fux. Also, when driving supercars, Fux always focuses on steering responses, and in that regard, the Porsche 911 GT gave him a successful result.

However, as a philanthropist, he always focuses on having enjoyable and unfiltered driving experience.

The high-performance driving interior and stable engine performance of this car from Fux make it a valuable car at auction.
2005 Ferrari F430
Michael Fux's supercar collection includes a large number of Ferrari cars, which suggests that these cars are synonymous with exclusivity and performance. This car is mostly suitable for an American businessman like Michael Fux due to its improved ergonomics and comfortness.

2006 Aston Martin DB9 Volante
There is no denying that Michael Fux used to be an avid fan of Aston Martin and his collection went well beyond V8 and V12 Vantage models. Take the Aston Martin DB9 Volante for example, it is one of the most attention-drawing cars with incredible performance.

Michael’s convertible was painted Olive inside and out while the brown highlights on the doors and dashboard looked fantastic. The businessman drove the DB9 with serial #SCFAD02A36GB04503 on very few occasions and ultimately decided to push it out of his garage a few years later.
2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS
Out of the two Porsche RS models that Michael owned, the 911 GT3 RS was the cheaper option. It would have been highly uncharacteristic for the businessman if he only paid the sticker price only but of course, he didn’t. The Porsche 911 with VIN WP0AF2A90GS187069 is painted in a special Lava Orange exclusively for him.

Mr. Fux also went for additional options like carbon fiber fenders and covers, orange calipers on the carbon ceramic brakes, a sports exhaust, and Alcantara seats. The black leather combined with the Orange on the inside looks exceptional but Michael didn’t even drive 300 miles in this incredible sports car.
2016 Porsche 911 R

2011 Aston Martin V12 Vantage
Michael Fux’s Aston Martin V12 Vantage was wrapped in Carbon Black which looked devilishly handsome matching with the Obsidian interior. The 2-door coupe has enough features considering it's from 2011 and the performance has also been among the best. The V12 Vantage is not special just because of its looks and power output.

2010 Ferrari California Convertible
Michael owned at least two Ferrari California models and both of them have been sold already. One of them was White and the other was wrapped in Yellow. The convertible in Giallo Sole was especially good-looking because of its black leather interior and yellow contrast stitching. Both of them came with Brembo ceramic disc brakes with calipers in their respective exterior color.

Although both the California models had special handcrafted paints, Mr. Fux didn’t spend much on anything else because most of the features were already included in the stock variant.
2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder
No car collection is complete without a Lamborghini and Michael, quite expectedly, had multiple in his garage. He bought a Gallardo in 2006 and it was the open-top variant. The Rosso Leto paint on the exterior was a special order from Mr. Fux and he had a two-tone exterior in Rosso Centaurus and Nero Perseus.

He rode this inimitably enjoyable Lamborghini over 1,000 miles before selling it in 2019.
2003 Lamborghini Gallardo
This car of Michael Fux provides a nostalgic sense of early 20s supercars, that comes with a striking design and prestige. Mr.Fux claimed that this car gives him an excellent handling experience and efficient performance. However, for Mr. Fux as an entrepreneur, it was a must-have vehicle that carried a clear status symbol about him and helped establish a strong network.

Michael Fux believed that owning a Ferrari helps him to feel visually striking and prestigious, and that helps him to enhance his personality as a businessman in America. Impressive speed as well as handling capabilities also align with the dynamic nature within American business culture.

2010 Ferrari 458 Italia
Michael had at least 3 Ferrari 458 models in his collection and the Italia happened to be the oldest among them. The Canadian entrepreneur and philanthropist was quite fond of the 2010 Ferrari and has driven it on so many occasions before sending it to his favorite auction house in 2018.

The 458 Italia is wrapped in Rosso Scuderia which is majestic on its own but what makes the Ferrari really stand out is the White leather interior with red contrast stitching. The performance of the Ferrari 458 needs no introduction and the Pirelli P-zero tires with forged wheels and Red accents add value to both its performance level and overall appearance.
2005 Ferrari F430 Scuderia 16M
As compared to the other editions of Ferrari F30 editions, this specific model provides an improved handling ability due to traction control ability and upgraded suspension. Despite the car's high maintenance costs, its advanced aerodynamic design makes the car valuable to carlovers.

2004 Ferrari F430 Scuderia
This car of Michael Fux is much more powerful and standard as compared to the other model, which makes this car valuable among the buyers.

2003 Aston Martin DB7 Zagato
Another collectible Aston Martin that Michael offloaded from his garage is the DB7 Zagato. This exclusive DB7 coupe was one of the last Aston Martin-Zagato collaborations until we saw the V12 Zagato in 2011. However, the DB7 Zagato looks astounding just like its siblings but it came with a slightly smaller engine.

There is another way to distinguish Michael’s Aston Martin DB7 Zagato from his other Aston Martin models, the DB7 had a darker Gray shade for its exterior and the interior was in matching gray as well. Despite a smaller engine, the Zagato still offered commendable performance thanks to its shorter wheelbase and equipment borrowed from the DB7 GT.
2012 McLaren MP4-12C
The McLaren MP4-12C might have been among the cheapest McLarens from Michael Fux’s car collection but it was still one beautiful masterpiece. Michael had the McLaren Special Operations wrap it in glorious orange which was an exclusive option. He also had its interior redone in a matching orange making the end product stand out like a champion among the supercars Senna and P1.

2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS
Another one of Michael Fux’s extraordinary Porsches was the GT2 RS. The specific Porsche was in production from 2010 to 2019 and Michael booked one for himself as soon as he heard about it. However, Michael didn’t buy the 500-limited unit Porsche in its stock condition, uh-uh, that’s just isn’t him.

The front fenders, hood trim, and rear wing are all molded in carbon fiber. Unsurprisingly, Michael drove his 381/500 Porsche GT2 RS only 677 miles before selling it off.
2005 Aston Martin Vanquish S
The Vanquish S stands out from the other Aston Martin models from Michael’s collection due to its distinctive exterior. Most of the other models that Michael has had over the years can be found in a shade of green or gray while the 2013 Aston Martin Vanquish was painted in Glengarry Gold.

The Parchment interior worked as an excellent compliment to the gold exterior and much like his other cars, Michael customized the Vanquish S as well. However, the exact amount was never disclosed but it was obviously much less than his McLaren or Rolls-Royce models. The businessman was quite fond of this Aston Martin since it had over a thousand miles on the odometer when he auctioned it in 2018.
2014 McLaren 650
Michael Fux purchased a McLaren 650 impressed by its exceptional handling and performance. Therefore, the lightness of construction and the advanced aerodynamic structure of this car made it a valuable asset for Michael Fux. Also, the comfort of the interior and good visibility are considered major advantages for people like Michael Fux to use this car.

2013 McLaren MP4-12C Spider
Michael was quite a fan of the MP4-12C so he got himself another one the next year. This time he went for the removable top option and the 2013 McLaren MP4-12C Spider has been one of the most stylish sports coupes in his garage. He had spent more than $150,000 on the options and it turned out to be breath-taking.

Michael might disagree with that statement since his original intention was to get the Fux Purple for this McLaren but it was not the same as his Rolls-Royce. However, the custom-blended Purple interior with an all-white interior hardly left anything more to be desirable. Sadly again, the McLaren convertible with serial number SBM11BAA3DW001996 was sold alongside the hardtop version in the same year at Mecum Auctions.
2010 Bentley Continental Supersports Supersports
Michael Fux has considered the breathtaking efficient and straight-line performances of 2010 Bentley Continental Supersports. However, Mr. Fux also feels that this particular model marks better agility and handling than other standard Continental GTs. Carbon ceramic brakes and modified anti-roll bars make this car worth it.

2009 Aston Martin DBS
Michael Fux’s love for Aston Martin in green is a known factor but he doesn’t choose just any green. The 2009 Aston Martin DBS he had was wrapped in an exclusive California Sage and the interior of the coupe was in matching Absynthe Green leather. The Cuban-born businessman spent above $10,000 just for the appearance and the special features cost extra.

2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series
Another Black Series Merc that Michael had was the SLS AMG which he bought in 2014. This was also more powerful than its two siblings despite having the same engine as the C-Class and CLK-Class. He went for the same black exterior but spent some additional amount for the special features.

The interior of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series had Red contrast stitching over the black leather and the Red highlights on the dashboard and the inside of the doors gave it a devilish look. Another notable feature was obviously the Gullwing doors and it's a shame that it had to go under the hammer.
2007 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano
Michael Fux bought himself two examples of the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano and much like his California models, one was wrapped in Yellow and the other came in White.

The Yellow one with VIN ZFFFC60A670150994 was bought in 2007 and he got the White one with VIN ZFFFC60A980157830 and sold both of them in 2018.
2010 Aston Martin DBS Volante
Michael’s tendency to bring both the coupe and convertible versions of the same model continues for his Aston Martin DBS as he bought the Volante in 2010 and sold it in 2018. Quite expectedly, he chose the same California Sage and Absynthe Green for the DBS Volante’s exterior and interior respectively.

2009 Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series
The Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series, once a significant part of Michael Fux’s car collection was a stand-out model from the other 3 of the Quartet.

The signature black exterior combined with the same shade of interior looked menacing and the V12 emblem on the lower front of the door made sure to grab extra attention. All four of these AMG Black Series cars were sold as a set by Michael in 2019. However, the notable exclusion from his collection was the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Black Series.
2007 Lamborghini Murciélago LP640
Just a year after buying the Gallardo coupe, Michael got himself a Murciélago LP640 and this one too was a custom model. He ordered a Rosso Vik paint that is indifferent from his Gallardo Spyder for the naked eye. The interior was the same combo of Nero Perseus and Rosso Centaurus with red stitching.

However, he drove less than 1,400 miles before getting rid of it in 2019.

2016 Ferrari F12tdf
The Ferrari F12tdf was one of the most special and most expensive cars in Michael’s collection. We are not comparing the F12 “Tour de France” model with the likes of LaFerrari or Speedtail but considering the base price and Mr. Fux paying almost $110,000 for special additions, it certainly takes a VIP spot.

The Giallo Triplo Strato on the exterior is an exclusive wrap and the handcrafted Yellow contrast stitching on the black leather was specially done as well. The F12tdf is limited to 799 units only and both the looks and performance can take any supercars. However, Michael only drove it for 150 miles before selling it off at Mecum Auctions.
2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR Mclaren
A big reason for Michael Fux to include the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren in his car collection is the car's striking design with its unique side-exit exhaust. Also, Fux likes to purchase this car due to its advanced carbon fiber construction and its straight-line performance abilities. Additionally, Michael Fux has claimed that in terms of usability and comfort, this car is excellent as compared to other supercars.

In contrast, Fux also felt that this car was well-recognized by auction buyers due to its limited production and unique technology offering.
2010 Ferrari 599 SA Aperta
The Ferrari 599 SA Aperta offers Michael Fux the thrill of open-air driving that has managed to carve out a special place in his heart. As an American car collector, he believes this car helped him experience the detailed sensations, sounds and sights of driving a Ferrari convertible.

2002 Ferrari Enzo FXX 1-20
The exceptional engine model and high performance made this car attractive to the eyes of Michael Fux. He also said that the engineers of this model focused on adding innovative technologies like carbon-ceramic brakes, sequential gearbox and active aerodynamic framework that make this car worthy of carrying American pride.

The attractive features and capabilities of this car enforced Mr. Fux to collect 20 different shades of this model. As a philanthropist and car collector he introduced a modified Ferrari Enzo model in the Mecum auction that assisted him to get better value.
2002 Ferrari Enzo
There is nothing worse than a banged-up car for an enthusiast but what would be the level of disappointment if it's a Ferrari Enzo? The now 80 years-old businessman suffered the same fate back in 2014 when his 2002 Enzo was involved in a crash. The only good part in this case for him was that he wasn’t inside the car when it lost control.

Mr. Fux had put the car under the care of Greenwich dealership Miller Motorcars and Ferrari technician Leonardo Garcia was test driving the car accompanied by Aston Martin technician Daniel Palchik. Garcia lost control and hit a bridge wall after spinning across three lanes. Only Leonardo was injured as the right side of the Ferrari was heavily damaged. This ultimately resulted in Michael getting rid of the Ferrari Enzo.
2010 Ferrari 599 GTO
The chassis dynamics and advanced aerodynamics of these cars offer exceptional steering response and handling capabilities to Michael Fux. As a businessman, he felt that buying the Ferrari 599 GTO car was able to combine emotion with financial return. This specific model assists him to connect with a passionate community of Ferrari enthusiasts.

According to Michael Fux, the Ferrari 599 GTO is an example of the pinnacle of Ferrari's road car engineering and performance prowess, that make this car a major attraction at the Mecum auction.
2015 Porsche 918 Spyder
Michael Fux is mostly attracted by the advanced hybrid model and balancing performance of the Porsche 918. Also, he focuses on cutting-edge automotive technology and the exceptional acceleration of this model, which increases the car’s value. However, Fux really likes the car's innovative all-wheel-drive system that enhances the traction and handling capabilities that set it apart from other supercars.

The Spyder’s Engineering was identified by Fux as another key feature here that helped him add this car to his collection. The complex technical structure and its high maintenance costs were identified by Michael Fux as the car's shortcomings, although lightweight construction made the car valuable at Mecum Auctions.
1997 Porsche GT1
According to Michael Fux, the car's powerful twin-turbo engine makes this supercar very attractive at the Mecum auction. Also, he said that the Le Mans prototype and metallic finishing color contributed to putting this supercar on his priority list. Michael Fux stated that, unlike other Porsche models, this model's carbon fiber construction helped ensure its unique presence in the supercar world of the late 1990s.

Michael Fux likes the Porsche GT1's mid-engine layout with carbon ceramic brakes that make this car ahead of its time. On the other hand, Fux has highlighted that the high cost and limited availability of this attractive model made the car even more valuable at Mecum Auctions.
2018 McLaren Senna
Michael Fux probably paid more bucks on his now-auctioned McLaren Senna than his P1 since he admitted that he is afraid of taking it to the track. Imagine all that power and torque the Senna is capable of producing - but the owner will never use them. However, for Mr. Fux, that is obviously not an issue since he has already done what he does best for all his cars.
McLaren Senna | Specs |

The limited edition mid-engine sports car, named after Brazilian Formula 1 driver Ayrton Senna, has been beautifully customized exclusively for Michael in Emerald Green. The Cuban-born businessman paid an extra $297,575 for the exposed carbon fiber body package which is nothing short of armor around the car. Additionally, to have the package in the same exterior shade, Fux paid $86,930 more.
2013 McLaren P1
How many people are there who would buy a $1.3 million supercar and then spray extra bucks to have it modified? Well, however strange that feels, Michael Fux did customize his McLaren P1, and let us tell you that he owned not one but two of those track-based monsters.
2013 McLaren P1 | Specs |

Price | $1,350,000 (stock) |

One of them has a unique light blue shade that stands out from the blue-colored McLarens that we usually see on the streets. The other came in a dark green shade with a dual-tone interior in matching lighter green and light gray. The green McLaren P1 from Michael’s garage has already been offloaded recently but the blue variant is still there.
2014 Ferrari LaFerrari
Considering the number of crazy supercars Michael Fux has or had in the past, it is impossible not to have found at least one LaFerrari in the lot. The Ferrari LaFerrari from 2014 used to be his favorite and we have multiple social media posts where he showed it off to back our theory.
2014 Ferrari LaFerrari | Specs |
---|---|
Price | $1,420,000 (stock) |

Horsepower | 950 hp |
Torque | 664 lb-ft |

0-60 MPH | 2.4 seconds |
Top Speed | 218 MPH |
The LaFerrari had the classic Ferrari Red exterior but that does not necessarily mean that Michael opted for the stock model. In fact, he paid an additional $37,589 for special features but that seems nothing compared to his Rolls-Royce and McLarens. The Ferrari with serial number ZFF76ZFA6E0207602 was sold in a 2019 Mecum Auction.
2016 Bugatti Veyron
Michael Fux's own car collection prominently includes the Bugatti Veyron, confirming his dedication to cars. The maximum grip and excellent aerodynamics of the Bugatti Veyron is a big reason behind Michael Fux's fascination. The luxurious interior with the high-end manufacturing materials reflects the exceptional engineering of Bugatti Veyron.
2016 Bugatti Veyron | Specs |
---|---|
Price | $1.5 Million (stock) |
Powertrain | 8.0L Quad-turbo W16 |

While purchasing this car Michael Fux focuses on the sculpted interior of the car that indicates both aggressiveness and elegant nature. Also, Fux treats Bugatti Veyron as a symbol of automotive excellence that helps to consider this car model as an expensive proposition. Currently, Michael Fux has sold this car at Mecum Auctions, which helps to get the best value for this care at the highest price.
2019 McLaren BP23 Hyper GT
While purchasing the McLaren BP23 Hyper GT, Michael Fux has essentially been able to expect lower fuel consumption than traditional supercars. Therefore, the streamlined and aerodynamic design is responsible for the attractiveness of Michael Fux. Additionally, this car offers customers a technological and luxurious interior, and at the same time, the limited production volume makes this car worth buying for Fux.
2014 McLaren BP23 Hyper GT | Specs |
---|---|
Price | $2,2000,000 (stock) |
Powertrain | 4.0L Twin-turbo V8 |

Also, the unique three-seat configuration with the central driving ability has reflected the approach of hypercar design, which makes this car different from the other competitors. Michael Fux has also focused on the flexible carbon fiber elements and elongated tail of this specific model that eliminates drag. However, Fux sold the car at Mecum Auctions, which marked the car as a valuable asset for him.
2016 Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta
Michael had not one but two LaFerraris and the second model had a removable top. The 2016 Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta had the standard exterior color and the interior was wrapped in the stock black leather with red stitching. This means Mr. Fux did not pick any extra features.
2016 Ferrari LaFerari Aperta | Specs |
---|---|
Price | $2,300,000 (stock) |
Powertrain | 6.3L V12 |

0-60 MPH | 2.5 seconds |
Top Speed | 218 mph |
The LaFerrari Aperta had only 174 miles on the odometer when Michael bought it at the 2019 auction which further proves that the open-top model was not as favored as the LaFerrari coupe. The Aperta model with VIN ZFF86ZHA6H0223353 didn’t have the Bespoke team’s signatures like the 2014 Laferrari from Fux’s collection.
2018 McLaren Speedtail
You would likely find Michael Fux’s McLaren Speedtail as the most stand-out McLaren model from his garage. The Speedtail is as exclusive and almost as powerful as the P1 and Senna but where Michael chose to go dark with them, this one burns the brightest in Volcano Yellow.
2018 McLaren Speedtail | Specs |
---|---|
Price | $2,726,000 (stock) |
Powertrain | 4.0L Twin-turbo V8 |

The car can set your eyes on fire if you keep staring at it for too long and we would judge if you do. The Comfort Revolution CEO paid close to $3 million for his McLaren and the bright yellow exterior continues to inside with black highlights. Michael’s McLaren Speedtail fetched over $3.3 million in a Mecum Auction in 2022.
This is a budding story, stay tuned as we keep updating this article with more cars owned by Michael Fux.
