Macaus maximum speed limit on public roads may be 80km/h but for every kilometer of asphalt there are more than two super luxury cars. According to the Traffic Affairs Bureau, in September last year some1,096 super luxury vehicles registered locally for 450 kilometers of public roads. Bentley leads the pack with 523 of its cars circulating in Macau. The second most popular manufacturer is Rolls Royce, with a total of 250 vehicles. This number is likely to increase as Stephen Hung, chairman of Louis XIII, who is building a new hotel complex in Cotai set to open in 2017, last year placed an order for 30 red-painted extended wheelbase Phantoms. The fleet order includes two cars that the British luxury carmaker describes as the most expensive and luxurious Rolls-Royces ever built. After the two British manufacturers, the most popular cars are Italian brands. Maserati has a total of 158 cars registered in Macau, while Ferrari has 131. Lamborghini has 106 cars in the territory, including a Lamborghini Veneno, which has a sale value of 3.3 million (MOP30.1 million) excluding taxes. The number of McLaren cars in Macau is less impressive, as only 13 units are on the road. However, one of them is the P1 Coupe model, of which only 275 units have been produced and cost US$1.35 million (MOP10.8 million). According to data, as at September 2014 there were a total of 236,334 vehicles registered in the territory, 106,319 of which were passenger cars.
