For you Europeans, can't you register the car in another country, with lower taxes and drive it in your home country?
I'd be damned to live in places with taxes that high, for that kinda money, you can probably lobby for them to lower taxes

After the tax It would be just under a million US dollars before options.To buy 2-3 cars and leave them at the Riviera is not a bad idea.....

Wow that is some serious money you have to fork out for these cars in countries such as South Africa.
You guys are obviously serious carheads to drop that sort of money on these machines regardless of how much money you have!
Still im glad that you do, so I can live my car dreams through you guys (non baller lol)

Having been on these boards for years now, I'm getting the distinct impression that there is no nation on earth that is "optimal" for owning a supercar.
Whether it is enormous taxes, front plates, or draconian traffic laws, it seems there is no one country that is above all others when it comes to owning cars of this magnitude.
Am I wrong? Is this off topic, or can some of you who are European or well traveled easterners/westerners name a country that it is "affordable" and "reasonable" to own cars of this magnitude?
Since the America I grew up in doesn't exist anymore, I may want to look for a new home someday...

Those South African prices and taxes just seem bonkers! If you can start moving some cars to France instead, I hope it'd be a lot easier and more worth the hassle.
+1 on the K'egg
It would be so awesome to have one on the board and it would be a significant and unusual addition to your stable!
