The husband of Petra Ecclestone has taken delivery of a unique £3.1million Lamborghini supercar to add to his growing collection of flashy motors.
Billionaire art collector James Stunt, well-known for travelling around London with a cavalcade of blacked out Rolls-Royce Phantoms, is regularly spotted visiting Harrods and various high-end auction houses like Sotheby’s while surrounded by bodyguards.
Now Mr Stunt, whose father-in-law is Formula One chief executive Bernie Ecclestone, has bought his most spectacular model yet – a one-off carbon fibre Lamborghini Aventador which has been customised by German firm Mansory.
The J.S. 1 Edition makes the Lamborghini Aventador driven by Bruce Wayne in The Dark Knight Rises look understated.
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 Mr Stunt 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 Mr Stunt’s unique Lamborghini comes complete with a new exhaust system including manifold, muffler and tailpipes.
The supercar is the 21st car Mr Stunt has ordered from Mansory, with the Lamborghini joining a fleet which includes Range Rovers, Rolls-Royces and Bentleys.

Most of his cars are fitted with personalised plates reflecting their owner’s name.
Mansory would not confirm the exact value of the car but it is understood to be worth in the region of £3.1million.
A statement from the firm said: ‘Someone like Stunt is constantly on the lookout for something special owned by no one but him.
‘The J.S.1 Edition by Mansory is covered by a tailor-made carbon fibre shell that meets the highest demands on looks and aerodynamics – and meets in full the strict demands of James Stunt.’
