LeBron James has a car collection that includes many unique and expensive cars. Let’s take a look at 10 prominent names in the garage of one of the best basketball players in the world.
LeBron James is one of the most successful athletes, best players, and most successful businessmen in sports. Valued at $450 million in 2018 by Forbes, the king never stops making money, just like he is dominating the NBA even though he is 35 years old.
However, LeBron is not exactly a spendthrift. Receiving nearly $100 million a year, James regularly invests in business connections, the rest he spends on maintaining his physical condition to always stay in good physical shape.
Despite this, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar still has a very expensive hobby: collecting cars. Let’s admire 10 outstanding cars in the garage rumored to have more than 20 expensive cars of one of the richest players in the NBA at the moment.
1975 Chevrolet Impala Convertible
Starting with the oldest car in his collection, LeBron James loves restoring and reviving older cars.
The most recent car that the “king” owned and successfully restored was the Chevrolet Impala convertible version produced in 1975. With its extremely prominent purple color and white stripes, this is the car that LeBron used to preserve memories of his time playing at Miami Heat.
The heart of this car is a 6.0-liter V8 engine, but it wouldn’t be surprising if James added a little “modification” under the hood of one of the most famous classic muscle cars in American history.
Mercedes-Benz S600 Maybach
Rumored to be one of LeBron James’ favorite and most used models, this high-end version of the S-Class has a spacious interior that few cars can match in the luxury sedan segment.
Despite being spacious and luxurious, the S600 Maybach still has high speed and acceleration with a 6.0-liter V12 engine, producing 530 horsepower.
Lamborghini Aventador Roadster
This supercar with a “floral” outfit is associated by LeBron James with the Nike LeBron XI, a shoe model launched when the “king” played at the Miami Heat.
In addition to the extremely beautiful wrap, this Lamborghini Aventador Roadster is capable of reaching a speed of 350 km/h thanks to a turbocharged engine with a capacity of 700 horsepower.
Hummer H2
If there’s one car that’s most iconic in LeBron James’ collection, it’s probably the Hummer H2, the first car he owned after signing a multimillion-dollar contract to play in the NBA.
Inside the 320-horsepower, 6.0-liter V8 machine is a chrome-plated front spoiler, 28-inch wheels, multiple TV screens inside, and a Playstation. Unfortunately, the H2 is no longer part of LeBron’s collection, as the superstar auctioned it off for charity in 2018.
Bentley Continental GT
Rumored by netizens to be LeBron James’ favorite car, this pure white Bentley Continental GT stands out with its white paint and large, luxurious white rims.
Chevrolet Camaro SS
Following the “Ngoc Trinh” style of the Bentley, LeBron continued to bring his Chevrolet Camaro SS to the garage to do the same paint job. As an American basketball superstar, James certainly could not ignore one of the most iconic American muscle cars in history.
Kia K900
Initially, the Kia K900 seemed like a reluctant choice when LeBron James was offered an advertisement by the Korean car company. However, the superstar himself shared that he had been using the K900 since before being contacted by KIA thanks to its convenience, spaciousness and comfort when traveling.
This is not an ordinary KIA model, but the most advanced car line of the Korean manufacturer. The Kia K900 has a V8 engine producing 420 horsepower to create the perfect combination of luxury and speed.
Porsche 911 Turbo S
Dubbed “Batman and Robin”, LeBron James’ Porsche 911 Turbo S is the car paired with his teammate and close brother Dwyane Wade.
Both owning the convertible version with the ability to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds, LeBron chose a white car, while D-Wade chose black, two of the three signature colors of the Miami Heat.
Rolls-Royce Phantom
Gifted by Shaquille O’Neal, this Rolls-Royce Phantom is one of the most expensive cars in LeBron James’ garage. According to many rumors, this is a super luxury car that is rarely used but LeBron still keeps in the garage as a memorable memory of his career.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom is unquestionably luxurious. In addition, this car also has a large engine with a capacity of 6.7 liters and 563 horsepower.
