his name is lewis hamilton and there's a
million things he hasn't done
but yeah buying expensive cars isn't one
of them
representing the current team that
hamilton races for the most expensive
supercar in his collection is far and
away the mercedes amg one for 2.72
million dollars lewis hamilton took home
this beauty of a vehicle that i'm sure
he has never gone over the speed limit
in being the superb racer that he is it
makes sense that lewis would take home
one of these rare models specifically
designed to bring the technology of
formula one cars to the streets the amg
one is a hybrid vehicle with an engine
that produces over 1 000 horsepower
giving it a maximum speed of over 350
kilometers per hour the body of the car
borrows directly from the designs of
formula one racers including open vents
that allow for maximum aerodynamic
performance only 275 models of this
vehicle were planned to be made and each
one was pre-sold before it was produced
but of course mercedes would make sure
their number one racer was able to call
dibs on at least one hamilton in fact
was even in a mercedes ad for the amg
one before it was produced ensuring to
make the connection to the racing phenom
to highlight the performance of the rare
vehicle
if you're roger federer you want a
tennis racket named after you if you're
barry bonds perhaps a baseball bat and
if you're lewis hamilton you definitely
want a high speed high performance rare
super card to bear your initials and
that is exactly what pagani did for the
formula one superstar with the pagani
zonda 760 lh with the lh of course
standing for lewis hamilton while this
car is one of the most rare that
hamilton owns with a total of 140 models
of the two-seated speedster being made
and many of those basically being
development mules it might be a fair
guess that hamilton isn't the biggest
fan of his 2.6 million dollar purchase
he once stated that the 760 horsepower
engine fueled pagani actually drives
terribly granted the man's standards are
high given that his job is to drive some
of the most well-handling vehicles made
in history but still that's quite a
statement about a car named after you
that being said hamilton recently stated
that he rarely drives any of his more
expensive exotic cars anymore turning
them into some of the most expensive
garage decor in the world
while hamilton drives for the team
mercedes he's no stranger to helping out
the competition at least off the race
track lewis hamilton owns a bevy of
ferraris with three of his most
expensive being the la ferrari aperta
the ferrari 599 sa aperta and the
ferrari la ferrar the rare la ferrari
aperta has a 6.3 liter naturally
aspirated hybrid v12 engine under the
hood which can produce power up to 950
horsepower this makes it an incredibly
fast lightweight vehicle on top of that
the models made were extremely limited
only 499 models were made with a special
500th model famously being sold in an
auction for a cool 10 million dollars
now while the identity of the buyer of
that 10 million vehicle was not
disclosed we are pretty sure it wasn't
lewis hamilton it is reported that his
laferrari aperto was purchased with a
much more a reasonable price of 2.2
million dollars the laferrari aperta has
an open design with a two-seat cockpit
and is said to maintain all the
recognizable body features of the
ferrari but brought into the future his
second ferrari is the ferrari 599 sa
aperta while this ferrari is much harder
to find given that only 80 models were
made making it the most rare ferrari
ever its design makes it much cheaper
which is wild to say when lewis hamilton
purchased his for the incredibly cheap
price of 1.7 million dollars ferrari
specifically planned to make 80 models
in order to celebrate pin and farina's
80th anniversary the sa aperta is the
ferrari model that is closer to the
ground and with a low wind screen that
makes it one of the most aerodynamic
supercars ever built though there were
only 80 models made each of those 80 is
extremely unique there are several
combinations of trim and color as well
as a multitude of materials that make up
the interior of each one the final
extremely expensive ferrari in
hamilton's collection is the ferrari
laferrari while the laferrari aperta
goes for over 2 million dollars this
original 2013 model of the la ferrari
goes for 1.4 million which is the price
that the world famous racer paid for his
the design of the la ferrari is one of
ferrari's most innovative which is
really something when you think about
the ferrari brand while hamilton claims
to really only drive his mercedes around
from time to time i wouldn't be
surprised if he threw some shades and a
disguise on so no one sees him cruising
around in his competition supercars
while hamilton's car collection is
nowhere near short of newer exotic
vehicles there are also one or two
classics that can be found hauled up in
his garage lewis hamilton owns two
models of rare forts
his first produced in 1966 has a slick
black finish that makes it look like it
was made yesterday he spent 2.1 million
dollars for his classic 1966 shelby
cobra however the longer he holds onto
it the more it may prove to be worth the
last 66 shelby cobra just sold at
auction for five and a half million
dollars
the open top vehicle would make even the
lug bug jealous due to its revolutionary
power and aerodynamic design
hamilton actually owns a second model
which was produced just one year later
though this one just so happens to be a
replica of the 1967 shelby mustang gt500
the 67 shelby mustang proves what a
difference a year can make given that it
knocked an entire million dollars off
the price meaning that hamilton
purchased the classic mustang for 1.1
million dollars so by that logic i
should be able to find a 68 shelby
somewhere for only 0.1 million dollars
right i mean i still couldn't afford
that but that's definitely a much more
attainable goal than the behemoths
hamilton has on display in his garage
while lewis hamilton currently drives
for mercedes from 2007 to 2012 his
racing career lied with that of mclaren
while he wound up switching teams i
would guess that there were no hard
feelings given hamilton's love for his
mclaren p1 a follow-up to the mclaren f1
the p1 is an extremely sporty vehicle
the designer believes the focus during
the creation was aerodynamic performance
while also attempting to make it both
dramatic and beautiful and boy did he
succeed there are no fancy ornaments to
be found on the body of the mclaren p1
as every inch of the vehicle was
intentionally designed to reach peak
performance
lewis hamilton paid an easy breezy 1.2
million dollars for this incredibly well
put together vehicle with a powerful 3.8
liter twin turbocharged v8 engine which
can give output of 903 horsepower that
being said while this is a favorite of
his the rest of his collection shows
where his true loyalties lie
including the aforementioned amg one
hamilton's car collection is stocked
full of mercedes some of his more
expensive models include the amg g63 6x6
the mercedes-benz amg gtr and the
mercedes maybach s600 starting with the
mercedes amg g63 6x6 hamilton dropped
615 000. for this beauty i know what
you're thinking a car under 1 million
yes folks they do in fact exist in the
garages of the world's wealthiest that
being said over 600k is nothing to
sneeze at and the amg g63 makes every
dollar worthwhile the g63 is a
six-wheeled single-unit truck highly
efficient in off-road settings due to
its six-wheel drive the vehicle was
actually developed for the australian
army way back in 2007 but has since
become a luxury vehicle collector's
dream
personally i don't think any car
collection is complete until there is a
tank in it but i suppose the g63 comes
pretty close
hamilton also has a mercedes-benz amg
gtr in his collection this vehicle cost
him 162 thousand dollars and has a
powerful 4-liter twin-turbocharged v8
engine while this is certainly not a
rare piece of hamilton's collection it's
a high-performing reliable vehicle with
a sleek design that shows real brand
loyalty to his racing team
finally while there are definitely other
vehicles that make up hamilton's 17
million dollar car collection the last
vehicle is the mercedes-maybach s600
this vehicle has a six liter twin turbo
v12 engine guaranteeing its high
performance that plus its luxurious feel
and design make it well worth the 173
thousand dollar starting price that
hamilton paid
lewis hamilton is one of the greatest
formula one racers in the world which
tells me that he knows the value of a
great car when he sees one he was an
avid remote control car racer as a kid
and even told mclaren to sign him when
he was just 13. in 2007 they finally
listened when hamilton signed for nearly
50 million dollars
