The car collection of Kanye West is appropriately bizarre
It is pretty much impossible to go wrong when you are worth well over $1 billion. A garage filled with eclectic vehicles that suit Kanye West's musical style may be in your garage(s). The dramatic changes to some of Kanye's rides can be attributed to his work as a fashion designer. It was not long ago that Kanye was a little flashier and a little more open about what was going on in his private life. It appears that the man has been enjoying his privacy more recently. In our opinion, this could be due to a combination of his growing sense of fatherly duties and his rising spirituality - we're still not quite certain what it all means. It's been rumored that there's a pretty sweet car or two in Kanye's collection.
Maybach 57
With the help of Jay Z, Kanye managed to anger a lot of car fans years ago when the two cut up a Maybach57 in the music video for the song Otis, together with a few other rappers. Besides having some interesting Mad Max-inspired fabrications, it also had flared-out fenders that added a bit of character to the car. He did this purely to demonstrate how much money he had, and how he could chop up such an expensive item like this without a second thought. Despite this, we strongly doubt that man would do something like this in the present day.
Lamborghini Gallardo
There's no doubt Kanye has a thing for Lamborghinis, as you're about to find out. It is our understanding that this white Gallardo, which we believe is an LP560-4, was the first one he was ever seen with. A naturally-aspirated V10 powering this vehicle is available, as well as a manual transmission, but it's not clear if Kanye chose the manual transmission over the third pedal. Despite that, the man used to drive this car daily.
Lamborghini Aventador
He traded in his AventadorLP700-4 model with a matte black exterior for an AventadorLP700-4 with a matte white interior. With over 700 horsepower coming from a V12 engine, this supercar is not only one impressive machine but also one of the best. The Lambo was not damaged much, if at all, as one of his assistants was moving the car at Kanye's house when one of his assistants ran into the gate, although the Lambo did not seem to have been damaged at all.
Lamborghini Urus
The fact is that Kanye has always been a big Lambo fan, as we already mentioned. With a growing family, it makes sense for him to grab a Lamborghini Urus, which is the first SUV that the Italian bull has produced in a very long time since he has a growing family. There has been a chain of transformations done on this vehicle, first wearing a gloss black finish, then a matte black finish, then finally a matte beige finish that some people find repulsive.
Aston Martin DBS
Kanye West has only been spotted once in this stunning Aston Martin DBS, which is similar to many of the rapper's cars. He seems to have the same philosophy about clothes as some women have about dresses: the same dress cannot be worn by the same woman twice. Whether or not he has been extra-sneaky, and taken this naturally-aspirated V12 out without the press being aware of who he is, we are not sure how he has been able to resist driving it again more than once.
Porsche Panamera Turbo
The Porsche Panamera Turbo that Kanye West and Kim Kardashian rode in and drove in Paris several years ago was spotted with Kanye West driving and riding in it. As a sedan from one of the most prestigious European automakers, it is as subtle as it can be, thanks to its matte gray paint and black badging. There was a recent incident involving this very car in the news after it was stolen and crashed into a building that was still under construction after it had been stolen.
Porsche 991 Carrera
Kanye West has been spotted with quite a few Porsches in the past, so it's pretty obvious he loves the brand. The first one of them is a newer 991 generation 911 Carrera that is part of the newer generation. As far as we know, it is still unclear whether the car belongs to the man or if it has been rented since he was spotted behind the wheel of it just once during his visit here to the United States. No matter what the case is, one thing is for certain: the guy likes Porsche cars more than anything else.
Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
Even though this thing doesn't look as fast as it is, since it sports the styling of a supercar, this joint effort between German and British auto manufacturers still yields over 600 horses and continues to rise in value as time passes. Having gullwing doors certainly adds to the allure of these cars and makes them seem more desirable than anything else. This is what attracted Kanye to the SLR since it is an automotive work of art, and there is no doubt that's what drew him to it. The man is famous for his self-professed appreciation of beauty.
Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss
SLR Stirling Moss roadsters are some of the most valuable and coveted German cars made during this century. Brand new, these cars were sold for over $1 million when they were new and they are still worth much more today as they are one of the few examples made. The dramatic design of the vehicle does not only lack a roof, but it does not even have a windshield on top of it. It is worth noting, however, that both the driver and passenger are provided with roll hoops.
Bugatti Veyron
It's impossible to confirm Kanye owns one of these. However, there are plenty of people that claim to have seen him in one, so you may want to take this one with a grain of salt. Certainly, it does not seem out of place that the man could afford to own a hypercar that has 1200-hp, and it certainly fits his sense of style.
