Petra Ecclestone’s husband takes delivery of yet another supercar – a £1million Porsche Carrera GT
The billionaire art collector has added them to his 200-strong collection
THE husband of Petra Ecclestone has taken delivery of yet another supercar - a £1million Porsche Carrera GT - to add to his collection of 200 motors.
Porsche only made 1,300 Carreras GTs, making it one of the rarest cars on the road.
Exclusive photos show the new black Porsche outside ‘Stunt Manor’ in Los Angeles – the largest family property in the city.
Like most of his fleet, the sleek vehicle has been fitted with personalised plates reflecting their owner’s name.
Billionaire art collector James Stunt’s latest spending spree follows the £3.1million Lamborghini supercar he added to his garage of flashy motors earlier this year.
Mr Stunt, known for travelling around London with a cavalcade of blacked out Rolls-Royce Phantoms, is regularly spotted visiting Harrods and auction houses like Sotheby’s surrounded by bodyguards.
In February the businessman, whose father-in-law is Formula One chief executive Bernie Ecclestone, bought a one-off carbon fibre Lamborghini Aventador customised by German firm Mansory.
It is capable of doing 0-60mph in just 2.7 seconds and accelerating to 220mph thanks to its 830bhp engine, which has been specially upgraded for MrStunt from the standard 750bhp. The maximum thrust rises from an imposing 690 to 750 nm.
The redesigned front of the J.S.1 Edition is also crafted from a carbon fabric to give it its stealth. With a new spoiler lip on the front, there are a number of aerodynamic changes which have been made to give additional downforce.
A diffuser and an enlarged and more powerful spoiler at the back are also special modifications which give aerodynamic advantages, while MrStunt's unique Lamborghini comes complete with a new exhaust system including manifold, muffler and tailpipes.
Mr Stunt’s car collection also includes a vintage Ferrari 250LM, Range Rovers and Bentleys. He also hordes expensive suits, wine and cigars.
The tycoon, worth up to £5billion, has also reportedly bought two new art works to add to his collection of works by legends such as Picasso and Monet.
