One Czech bettor recently won 2.5 billion . That is, to be exact, 2.466 billion crowns before taxation, but why deal with small things, right? Now imagine for a moment that you win this amount and decide to invest it all in cars . Who would also be interested in headquarters in Monaco, Madrid, Florida or Florence… The first thing that comes to your mind is to buy a Miura (or F40, F50, 959, Countach, E-Type…), a lot of Miuras in various versions, colors… Then you start thinking and maybe a Cayenne for the family wouldn't be too bad, and a Caterham for the circuits and a Mini Cooper JCW for the wife and a Polo GTI for the son… Just think about it – how about bringing a bit of invention and, above all, total megalomania to your plans?
After all, for 2.5 billion crowns you can buy, for example, a 10,642 Fabii with a basic liter three-cylinder engine in the lowest Active trim or a 7,206 Fabii Combi with a TDI diesel engine and mid-level Ambition trim. The dream of all Czech families? Well, Skoda Octavia Combi "f tedéíčku, f broom and on the dirt…" For a generous figure, you will be able to buy a total of 3163 of them with 16-inch wheels, a two-liter TDI (150 hp) in combination with a dual-clutch automatic and in Style equipment!
Are you looking for a stylish vehicle in which your eccentric personality stands out? And do you have room for 6099 Citroën C4 Cactus ? Then hurry up for a more powerful 110-horsepower 1200 gasoline engine in the Shine trim. The king of all crossovers, however, is the Nissan Juke , which you can't go wrong with, with its 190-horsepower DIG-T turbocharged four-cylinder engine combined with a six-speed manual transmission and Tekna equipment. How many can you afford as a billionaire? Right 4752! The current record holder in terms of the number of vehicles produced is the Mazda CX-5 , of which exactly one million have already been produced. You can't go wrong with the "two and a half liter" (what a parallel with the available amount) Sky-G and the Revolution TOP equipment, and with the number of 2903 available pieces in your garage, you don't have to worry about any scratches.
Are we not thinking of the managers? But where! How about a Skoda Superb 2.0 TSI 4×4 DSG in Laurin & Klement equipment? Well, invite a lot of friends, because you will be able to buy 2310 of them right away. The benchmark of the segment is, however, the Volkswagen Passat , which at the time was also available with a two-liter BiTDI, which is one whole turbocharger better and more trouble-free than the classic TDI. You can potentially buy 2411 of them in the Highline trim and with that you can already arrange a solid D1 blockade …
Environmentalists mostly bet on the Toyota Prius , so we simply cannot leave it out. Its hybrid system may be able to run one out of ten thousand Fabias with three cylinders, but you will be sure that with the number of 3968 of these nonsenses in the garage, you may be saving the planet. By the way, what is the annual natural increase of these cars in Europe? The complete opposite of the Prius is the Challenger Hellcat with a monumental eight-cylinder Hemi, whose import is handled, among other things, by Denker . The latter currently has one piece on offer for 1,950,000 crowns, which means that you can comfortably sell 1,282 Hellcats for those 3,968 Priuses. And that's worth it, isn't it?
However, we still haven't gotten to the main level of connoisseurship – namely used cars! Would it occur to you, for example, that at a price of 16,000 crowns (current offer on Sauto.cz) for a Daewoo Tico , you could have 156,250 of them? Who knows if so many of them have ever traveled around Europe… Or perhaps a phenomenon called Felicia , whose average price is somewhere around 14,000 crowns. If you are not afraid of it, you can have 178,571! And for true lovers of interesting cars, here we have the Fiat Multipla ! Yes, exactly the generation whose existence is condemned even by aliens. So this exact Multipla is sold for an average price of around 50,000 crowns, and with smart investment you can have exactly 50,000 of them. A wonderful fleet like from Star Trek, don't you think?
However, opposites also work, of course. Last year, for example, a Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinetta from 1962 was auctioned for 799,272,000 crowns. And you will buy at most three for 2.5 billion! A similar extreme, only from the world of newer cars, can be the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse . When it came to the market, it cost about 47 million crowns, so you can buy a maximum of 53 of them.
As you can see, for 2.5 billion crowns, which, among other things, would also help the state budget under Minister of Conflict of Interest Andrej Babiš, you can have practically anything. And lest you think I'm going to end it with political rants, I'll add one secret tip! Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDI is said to be indestructible and also makes a famous poo! That's why one piece caught my eye for 55,000 crowns, which I could multiply up to 45,454 pieces. Well, tell yourself that this would be enough for some secret war…
