The average joe buys hits suits off the rack, but the man of means has his custom made. So why would we assume that, given the means, the same wouldn't apply to supercars? Well, the price of entry is much higher, for starters, but that should act as no deterrent for the ruling family of an oil-rich Persian Gulf emirate like Qatar.

As it turns out, one member of the ruling Al-Thani clan orders all his supercars in the same shade of turquoise so they all match. In this case, the car in question is the one-of-a-kind Pagani Zonda Uno. The supercar borrows elements from the exclusive Zonda Cinque and blends them with parts from the track-only Zonda R to make a unique creation made especially for the Qatari royals. The 690-horsepower 7.3-liter V12 engine might turn others away for fear of exorbitant fuel prices, but like the issue of where to drive such a beast, that's just one more thing the Al-Thanis don't need to worry about.
