"This particular F1, chassis number 14, represents a unique intersection of performance history, exclusivity, and royal provenance. Originally finished in Titanium Yellow and delivered to the Brunei Royal Family in 1994, this car is one of only 64 road-going versions ever produced - and one of the most meticulously maintained examples in existence. Expected to command over $21 million at RM Sotheby's Abu Dhabi auction this December, it is not just a car - it's a crown jewel of modern automotive history."
"At its heart lies a naturally aspirated 6.1-liter BMW S70/2 V12 engine, producing 627 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque. That may sound tame by today's hypercar standards, but in 1994, this power, combined with the F1's carbon fiber monocoque chassis and a curb weight of just 2,509 pounds, made it the fastest production car in the world. Its top speed of 240.1 mph - achieved without forced induction - remains astonishing even by modern standards."
