Hey guys its me PetrolHead, and today we’re going to be seeing the cars which celebrities and Billionaires own. So some celebrities and Billionaires don’t just cruise around in some Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bugattis, some of them drive some pretty different cars. So let’s begin.
Elon Musk
Elon Musk is a bit like a bond supervillain. He’s tech obsessed and super rich. 12,45,43,00,464. rupees (120 billion pounds) to be precise. And he’s had a few flashy cars over the years including a McLaren F1 that he bought back in the 90s. And he’s also blasted his own personal Tesla Roadster into space on one of his rockets. But back in 2013, Elon Musk bought the Lotus Esprit bond car from the film, spy you love me. He paid almost 6,22,38,697. rupees (600,000 pounds) for it at auction. And said he wants to turn it in to a proper submarine. He probably will as well.
2) Bill Gates
Bill Gates used to be the world’s richest man, but he slipped to fourth place. He still has more than 9,43,99,44,150 rupees ( 91 billion pounds) in wealth. Bill Gates is a proper PetrolHead too. Take his Porsche 959 for example, he bought it new in the 1980s. But he couldn’t import it to America because it didn’t meet crash testing regulations. So he had to wait 13 years before he could import his historic car.
3) Chris Pratt
Chris Pratt can’t be short on cash. After all, he starred in loads of Marvel superhero movies and the Jurassic park remakes. Despite that, he drives a 1965 VW Beetle that he won in a game of blackjack and had restored over a period of 12 years. He must have taken the bus to the studio back then or something.
Hey everyone its me PetrolHead, and today we’re doing part 2 of my earlier blog. Top 4 worst cars ever created. So without further due let’s begin.
5) Trabant 601
The Trabant 601 was a car made in Germany. German cars tend to be pretty good, right? Well it was actually made in old east Germany during the cold war. So it was pretty much the cheapest, most basic car ever built. The Trabant didn’t have a four-stroke engine like most cars, instead it had a two-stroke engine like a scooter. Didn’t mean that it was easy to fix, but it also meant that it was really noisy, smelly and horrible. This thing pumped out loads of blue smoke. The most powerful versions only had 26 horsepower, so they were really slow. But the worst thing about the Trabant was its body work. I’m not talking about the way it looked although it was pretty ugly too. I mean the fact it was actually made out of recycled cotton, not steel ,not aluminum, cotton.
6) Amphicar
This is the Amphicar and as you’re probably guessed it’s an amphibious car. It came out in the early 60s which was when a lot of people were taking mind expanding medication. It’s engine only made around 40 horsepower, so it was really slow on the road, and it wasn’t very boat shaped either. So it was really slow in the water too, it could only do 7 miles an hour, which meant if you’re in any way that had any form of current you couldn’t go forwards. And every time you got it wet you had to grease all its joints to stop them seizing up or rusting. And some of them were really really difficult to reach, so if you went in the water, you’d have to take the back seats out and give it all a jolly good greasing down afterwards.
7) Aston Marytin Cygnet
This is the Aston Martin Cygnet. And it’s my list because it should have never have been made in the first place. You’d never have expected that Aston Martin to make a city car. But back in 2011 it had to find a way to lower its average carbon dioxide emissions of all its cars to avoid paying hefty emissions fines. So instead of making a brand new car from scratch, “oh what do we do? Toyota IQ, let’s take one of those and put a few Aston badges on it”. To be fair the car did its job, it pumped out so less CO2 that they brought Aston’s average emissions way way down. But this didn’t stop the cygnet from being absolutely crap. You know there wasn’t anything wrong with the Toyota IQ underneath. But Aston’s version was so much uglier. How’d they manage that. I mean just look at the Aston grill on the front, it just doesn’t work. Also it was way more expensive than the IQ. Aston wanted to sell around 4000 of them every year. But in the end only 300 people decided to buy one.
Anyway thanks for reading, And I’ll see you in the next one
What are the worst cars ever made? You see cars can be bad for loads of reasons, they can be ugly, they can be slow or they can be unreliable. But there are plenty of cars out there that are so bad in very many ways, some had a huge design flaw and some were actually worse then the cars they were suppose to replace and other just made no sense whatsoever. So here’s my list of the top 4 of the worst cars ever created. So without further due let’s begin.
1)DMC Delorean
Let’s kick off this list with DMC DeLorean. It could have been a brilliant car. It was made out of stainless steel, just like Elon Musk’s new starship. And it starred in the movie Back to the Future, which is one of the biggest movie franchises of all time, how’s that for marketing. However it had serious problems. One of them was the engine, rather than a burley V8 ,the DeLorean had a V6 stolen from a Peugeot. So it only had 130 Hp, this meant the DeLorean could only manage 109 miles an hour (175 KMPH). That’s rubbish for a car that looked like it be able to do at least 200 mph. Even for 1981 when the car came out 109 miles an hour was not quick. Build quality was another big issue, some DeLoreans were so badly built, that it took 200 extra hours to make them actually ready to sell. That’s after they’d left the factory, they had to work on them again. Bonkers!. On the subject of factories, the DeLorean factory in Northern Ireland actually got repossessed by the British government. After the company went bust in 1982. So good luck in getting spare parts. And if that wasn’t bad enough, John DeLorean the guy who owned the DeLorean company was arrested by the FBI on suspicion of drug trafficking.
2) Isseta Bubble Car
This is the Isseta bubble car and it’s one of the weirdest cars ever made. It was first buit by a company that made fridges. Which explains why it has one big door on the front instead of one on each side, you know like a normal car has. But it meant that you couldn’t open the door if some on parked a bit too close to you. You’d have to climb in from the roof, it also meant that there was absolutely no protection in an event of a crash, none. Unless you count you count you’re ankles as crumplezones. However it wasn’t all bad, some of these bubble cars could actually return nearly 90 miles per gallon. Which is pretty incredible even for today. But they were unbelievably slow, some would take half a minute to reach 30 miles an hour. Terrible!. The fastest version was actually built by BMW an it had a 300 cc bike engine and it would do 53 miles an hour. Now that must have been absolutely terrifying, bombing down the road at over 50 in what is essentially an egg.
3) Pontiac Fiero
Back in the 80s Pontiac wanted to build a light, midengined two seater sportscar and it came up with this, the fiero. It’s actually a lot like the original Toyota M2. But it actually came out a year earlier in 1983. Now it all sounds good doesn’t it, so why is it on this list? Well these cars used to catch fire, a lot. By 1987 260 fieros appropriate name obviously had burnt to the ground because of problems with the piston connecting the rods. They’d fail and cause the engine to catch fire. So to try and sell more cars, Pontiac gave the fiero a body kit. When I say body kit, they actually turned the fiero into a fake Ferrari. They replaced all the body panels to new ones that look like a 308. I can’t believe this was actually a factory option. I mean how insane is that. Pontiac called this car the mera. But less than 100 were sold before Pontiac surprise, surprise got sued by Ferrari and had to stop production. No surprise there really is it.
4) Citroen C3 Pluriel
Convertibles are great, right? Nothing beats fold about the roof on a sunny day. Anyhow some convertibles completely missed the point, like the Citroen C3 Pluriel. It didn’t come with a folding soft top or a metal hard top, for some reason it had both. The middle of the roof was a big piece of fabric that you could fold back a bit like a Fiat 500c, it’s fine. And you could also the two metal rails on each side, Like the girl doing in the picture above, if you wanted to go completely roofless . But these were really heavy, so you couldn’t just pop them in the boot actually they wouldn’t fit, you’d actually have to leave them at home. And this meant you couldn’t then put the roof up if it started to rain because the roof was at your garage. Whoever signed that off really didn’t think things through, didn’t they.
Well that’s enough for today. I will also do a part two later on. So till the next one
Hi how are you? It’s me PetrolHead. With many new cars the list price is just the starting price, the amount you’re actually pay for the car can soon escalate when you start adding some options. Take the new Mercedes Maybach GLS for example, it starts from 1,64,21,508 rupees ( 158,000 pounds). But if you add all the official options that are available for it, the price will come to 2,25,56,195 rupees (217,000 pounds). That means you have increased the price by 38% over the starting list price. Of course like a brand like Maybach you can give them a black check and they’ll fit all sorts of bespoke items that aren’t on the official option list onto you car and the price can go way way higher still. But I’m not interested in that, the thing I’m interested in is finding out how much you can increase a car’s price buy by ticking all of the official listed options list. So what I’ve done is come up with a list of cars where you can increase their price by a percentage of greater than 38%, so more than you can increase the price to the Maybach GLS buy by ticking all the official options. Now the cars on this list actually range from normal family cars to supercars, and I’ve ranked them based on the percentage increase in their price that you can get by ticking all the official options list.
Jeep Renegade
First up on my list of increasing the car’s price by adding all the options is the Jeep Renegade. If you start with entry level two wheel drive longitude model with a 120 horsepower petrol engine it’ll cost a little over 23,92,669 rupees (23,000) pounds. But then if you tick every single box you can on the options list, it’ll add almost 9,36,552 rupees (9000 pounds) to the price of the car. That means this Jeep ends up costing over 33,30,072 rupees (32,000 pounds), which is a 39% increase over the original list price.
2)Lotus Elise
Lotus makes light-weight stripped out sports cars, so if you want any extra equipment at all it’s going to cost you extra. But you’ll be surprised how much a few extra options will actually set you back. Well if you add all the options available on an elite sport 220, it will turn a 43,70,909 Lakh car (42,000 pounds) in to a 65,57,493 lakh car (63,000) pounds. That’s an increase in it’s price by 50%.
3) Masarati Ghibli
Masarati is trying it’s best to be like an Italian version of Audi, Mercedes or Bmw. So I guess you can’t blame it for jacking at it’s price of the optional extras just to be like the Germans. Take the Ghibli hybrid for example, it starts from just over 60,35,358 lakhs (58,000 pounds), so it’s the cheapest Masarati you can buy. But you can add so many options to this car, that it could end up costing you 60% more than the starting price. This hybrid saloon can set you back 96,76,004 lakh (93,000) pounds.
Anyway that’s it for today. I will also be doing a part 2 tomorrow, so stay tuned for the next one
Hey Everyone its me PetrolHead. And today we are going to be doing part two of my earlier blog, Top 4 Best cars For Avoiding Covid-19. So without further due let’s begin part two.
5) Rolls Royce Phantom
The Rolls Royce Phantom is an absolutely massive car, but you can make it even bigger if you go for the extended wheelbase version that increases rear leg room by 25 cm, so you then have 135 cm to stretch out in. Also it means if you sit diagonally behind the driver you should be two meters apart, which means you can observe social distancing rules. That’s not quite safe enough for you, don’t worry you can fit the car a divider between the driver and the rear passengers. So you can stay in self isolation. And if you want to you can press a button and blank out the screen , so you don’t have to look at the driver, pretend their not there.
6) Ford Puma
The new ford puma may well seem like yet another small SUV. But it could be ideal during the coronavirus outbreak because it has a party trick of its sleeve in its boot. It has something called “the Mega Box”, essentially its a waterproof top, right you can fill this stuff so you could fill it with ice to chop Coca Cola or you could fill it with water to use it as a foot spa. What you could do though is fill it with disinfectant and use it as a mobile hand washing station, and get rid of all the germs. After you’ve done washing up you can pull the plug out and the bad things troll away.
7) Mercedes V class
If you’re the type of selfish person that has been stock piling stuff, then you’ll probably like the Mercedes V Class extended wheelbase version. You see if you remove to rear seats, it has a cargo area that can carry 6,600 liters, which is ideal if you go panic like, “Oh my God, I need to buy these things!!!”. But you can squeeze in 4,400 toilet rolls in the back of the V class. A normal family averages 400 rolls per year. That means you have enough toilet for 11 years. So don’t be selfish and silly and panic buy everything, its not responsible.
Anyway thanks for reading this I’ll see you in the next one
Hey everyone it’s me PetrolHead. And today we are going to see which are best cars for avoiding covid 19. So anyway let’s begin.
1)Tesla Model X
First up we have the Tesla model X. This car is packed full of quirky features, you’ve got falcon doors, stuff like the whoppee cushion effect where it makes farty sounds people see on all the seats. However it does have some more useful, something called Biohazard defense mode. Effectively it’s a high grade air filter, and it can stop pollen, dust entering the cabin, but also bacteria and viruses. Well that’s according to Elon Musk anyway. Now all this means that the air inside the car should be as sterile as that in a hospital operating theater. Which is handy if you’re an NHS surgeon needing to get to work. Obviously the filter can also clean the air inside the car, which is ideal if you’re gone on panic bought a load of baked beans and things are getting a bit whiffy.
2) London Taxi
Next up the new London Taxi. So this has a Perspex between the driving compartment and the passenger compartment. There you will need to seal up the little holes that let you speak up to your passenger to keep it properly sealed. Then you have the perfect car for giving an at-risk person. So someone over 70 or someone with underlying health conditions, a lift to the hospital. Also the car is a very very tight turning circle which is ideal if you’re driving down the road and you see a group of people just ignoring social distancing rules , and you need to do a U-turn to get away from them to safety.
3)Landrover Defender
The we have the new LandRover Defender. Obviously being one of the best off- roaders in the world, you can use it to head out into the wilderness for a spot of self isolation. Actually they’re all say that you should stay put at home. But you can go out for supplies. Now the LandRover is actually available with an optional shower. Which you use normally to shower off you’re muddy boots if you’re being walking or walking you’re dog. However if you’re being shopping you come back and what you can do is use that to actually was you’re hands with and all the stuff you bought. So its nice and clean before you head into you’re house.
4) Mercedes E Class
Next is the new Mercedes E class. In lockdown what if you have to exercise. Well don’t worry the new Mercedes E class has got you covered. So you can get it with massage seats, and the massage seats has a program called Energizing Comfort, and it basically gets you to push against the air bladders which sort of gives you a workout to keep your muscles toned and you can do all from the comfort of the car in isolation because it has a really high tech air filter which can purify 90% of the air also while you’re doing all this you can relax yourself by playing spa music on the stereo.
Well that’s it for now. Anyway I’m going to be doing a part two as well. So thanks for reading and I will see you in the one
Hey everyone its me petrolhead and today we are going to be Part 2 of my earlier blog, Top 4 of the craziest police cars in the world. So yeah let’s begin
5) Nissan GTR (Japan)
Most police cars are covered in reflected stickers to make them really really easy to see. You know just incase you missed the blue lights and you didn’t hear the siren. But police cars in japan get this super stylish black and white livery, almost like the car is wearing a tuxedo. And it looks especially classy on this Nissan GTR police car. Yep the police in Japan genuinely have a GTR pursuit car. It was actually donated to them by a resident in Tochigi, maybe that donation helped make a few parking tickets go away. But this isn’t the only awesome car in japan, a Lexus executive also gave the police an LC500. Apparently he said he wanted to use it to prevent accidents. I’m not sure how that’s going to work exactly maybe people will slow down to look at it.
6) Brabus Rocket (Germany)
The Audi RS4 isn’t the only tuned car with a link to the German police. Brabus built a special car for them too, it was called the Rocket, and it was a 730 horsepower version of the Mercedes Cls V12 only with blue lights and some police stickers. This was also built to encourage people to tune their cars legally. So it probably never had any criminals in the back seats. But just imagine that thing coming up behind you in the Autobahn.
7) Toyota Mirai (London)
The British police don’t just cruise around in some different patrol cars. They also have to try to be a bit of eco-friendly as well. Which is why a few police forces in London have started to use the Toyota Mirai as police cars. Now these are powered a hydrogen fuel cell and electric motors, so they don’t produce any harmful emissions. Problem is that you can’t just fill them up with hydrogen at you regular petrol station. There are only 13 hydrogen center in the whole of the United Kingdom. And it would be pretty embarrassing to arrest some criminals and then run out hydrogen on your way back to the police station.
8) Suzuki Jimmy (Italy)
All of the police cars in my list have so far been really really fast. But they’d all be a bit useless if some bank robbers try to escape by driving over a ploughed field. But the Italian military police have the perfect car for the job, because they run a fleet of Suzuki Jimmy’s. Look how cool they are!!. The police probably hope that the never arrest any fat criminals because the back seats of the Jimmy is pretty tight.
Well that’s been it for now. Anyway, I’ll see you in the next one
Which country do you think has the coolest police cars? Hey guys its me, Petrolhead and today we are going to be seeing some of the craziest police cars in the world. So anyway, without further ado let’s begin!
Lamborghini Hurican(Italy)
Lamborghini loves a bit of publicity, like that time they gave Lamborghini Hurican to the Pope, but that’s not the only car that Lambo’s given away. It’s also given a Hurican to the Italian police or the ‘polizia’ if you speak Italian. Anyway this Hurican isn’t used as a PR tool- it actually gets used as a proper police car. Most of the time it gets used as a regular patrol car. But the coolest thing its ever done is deliver a human kidney for an emergency transplant. The police drove from Padua to a hospital in Rome which is more than 300 miles away ( 482 Kilometers) and they did it in just over 2 hours. That drive would take a normal person in a normal car 6 hours. This means the average speed was more than 140 miles an hour (225 KMPH)… Which is pretty incredible.
2)Audi RS4 R ABT( Germany)
I reckon the German police have missed a trick by not using Audi RS4s as police cars. They’re perfect when you think about it, right? They’re really fast and they have a big boot so there’s load’s of space for all your police dogs and your police stuff. The German tuners app agree with me because they built a 530 horsepower Audi RS4 R especially for the German police. So it was never used for catching criminals or for traffic duties on the Autobahn. But it was built to encourage people to tune their cars safely and legally, as part of a “tune it safe campaign”, in Germany.
3) Bugatti Veyron (United Arab Emirates)
The United Arab Emirates is one of the richest places in the world. So it makes sense that the police there drive some pretty flashy cars. Well how does a Lamborghini Aventador sound? Or maybe a fancy Ferrari FF? Well, Dubai has all of these on its Police force. Oh, and a Bugatti Veyron as well. These are all part of Dubai’s police superfleet.
4) Lycan Hypersport (Abu Dhabi)
Now you didn’t think that anything would top the Veyron on this list. But you’re wrong, you see just down the road from Dubai to Abu Dhabi the police there have something even more exclusive. It’s called the Lycan Hypersport. There are only seven of them in the world and they each cost more than 25 core rupees (two and a half million pounds), which is insane. This car has absolutely mental looking body work and a carbon fiber chassis and a turbocharged flat six engine which comes from the Porsche, it makes 780 horsepower.
So that’s it for now. Anyway, I will be doing a part 2 as well. Thanks for reading and I will see you in the next one
Hey people its me PetrolHead ,So I had gone to Dubai few months ago and I had decided to visit Q Motors, which is a supercar showroom. In Q Motors I saw so many supercars. So I decided to choose this topic. Lets begin!!
1) Bugatti Chiron
The Chiron is Bugatti’s natural successor to the Veyron. Powered by a 8.0-litre quad-turbocharged W16 engine that makes a whopping 1500PS of power and 1600Nm of torque, the Chiron can do the 0-100kmph run in just 2.5 seconds. … Bugatti will build the Chiron only in limited numbers, 500 to be exact.
2) Bugatti Veyron
Bugatti Veyron was the undisputed king of cars during the mid 2000s. The SuperSport version of the Veyron features a gigantic 8.0L quad-turbo W16 engine that produces 1,200HP. This car accelerates from 0-60 mph in just 2.4 seconds, and it can hit a top speed of 268 mph.Other key specifications of the Veyron include a Kerb Weight of 1990 kg.
3) Tesla Roadster
The Tesla Roadster is an upcoming all-electric battery-powered four-seater sports car concept in development by Tesla, Inc. Tesla has claimed that it will be capable of 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in 1.9 seconds, which would be quicker than any street legal production car as of the announcement in 2017.Tesla claims it will offer the base Roadster for $200,000 and a limited-edition Founders Series for $50,000 more. We have no details on what differentiates the two, other than the fact that only 1000 Founders Series models will be built.
4)KoenigseggAgera
The Swedish car manufacturer focuses exclusively on uber-expensive autos. The Agera pumps out over 900 horsepower, and its carbon fiber body makes it lightweight, aerodynamic and very pretty to look at.It was named Hypercar of the Year in 2010 by Top Gear magazine.[5] The Agera RS variant became the world’s fastest production car in 2017, setting a record with a GPS-verified two-way average top speed of 447 km/h (278 mph) and a fastest straight-line speed of 458 km/h (285 mph).
5) Mclaren Senna
McLaren claims this is the most extreme road car it’s ever built. That’s kind of what you’d hope given who it’s decided to name it after, and what they’ve decided to make it look like. Needless to say, aesthetic design did not lead the way. The Senna is governed by aerodynamics – up to 800kg of air pressing the mid-engined two-seater into the tarmac at 155mph. It could produce more, but above that speed McLaren alter the wing angles to maximise acceleration.t’s built around a central carbon tub made up of 170 separate pieces and powered by the familiar 4.0-litre twin turbo V8
Hey PetrolHeads, This time it is a fun topic ,Which cars celebrities actually own. With all that said Let’s begin
Beyonce – 1959 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud Series II Drophead
Beyonce is a style icon, so it makes sense that she drives something a bit classier than a chrome-wrapped Lamborghini. And, cars don’t get much classier than a $1 million Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud Drophead. Her 1959 Rolls was actually a birthday present from husband Jay-Z. That sure beats a Moonpig card and some flowers from the petrol station!
Chris Pratt – 1965 VW Beetle
Chris Pratt can’t be short on cash. After all, he starred in loads of Marvel superhero movies and the Jurassic park remakes. Despite that, he drives a 1965 VW Beetle that he won in a game of blackjack and had restored over a period of 12 years. He must have taken the bus to the studio back then or something…
Cardi B – Bentley Bentayga
Cardi B is one of the most successful female rappers of the last decade, so it’s no surprise that she has some pretty flashy cars. For starters, she has a Bentley Bentayga, a Lamborghini Urus and a Mercedes-Maybach S650. What’s weird is that she doesn’t actually have a driver’s licence…
That’s fine if she just wants to get chauffeured around in her Maybach, but why then does she also have a Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster? That doesn’t make any sense…
Clint Eastwood – Fiat 500e
There are plenty of Hollywood hardmen, but Clint Eastwood is one of the most bad-ass actors ever. So what car do you reckon this legend of the silver screen drives? Probably something big and American with a HUGE V8, right?
He actually cruises around in a Fiat 500. And, it’s not an Abarth model – it’s the electric version! It’s like Dirty Harry has put down the .44 Magnum and picked up a blow-dryer.
Cristiano Ronaldo – Bugatti Centodieci
Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t just one of the most famous footballers ever, he’s also a bit of a baller when it comes to cars. He has a Rolls Royce Cullinan, a McLaren Senna and a Bugatti Chiron worth more than £3.5 million in total.
But, his latest car makes these look like a Ford Fiesta. Reportedly, he’s just ordered the new Bugatti Centodieci. This is a special-edition version of the already very special Chiron with 1600hp and special bodywork designed to look like the classic EB110. And, it costs £7.3 million, which is probably about as much as Ronaldo earns in a week…
Justin Beiber – Lamborghini Urus
Justin Beiber is like Marmite – you either love him or you hate him. And, the same goes for his taste in cars. He drives a Lamborghini Urus, which he had wrapped in hot pink vinyl. That’s like putting Arnie in a tutu. Even he must have thought this was a bit over-the-top, though, because he’s had it re-wrapped in a much more subtle beige instead.
The Pope – Renault 4
You don’t need your own car when you’re the Pope, do you? After all, you’ve got your own personal popemobile – even if it does look a bit like a fish tank on wheels… Perhaps that’s why Pope Francis has a couple of his own cars, too. First up is a Lamborghini Huracan. It was given to him by Lamborghini in 2018 but he auctioned it off for charity, where it raised £630,000.Read our Renault car reviews
His other car is really odd – it’s a 1984 Renault 4. It was given to him back in 2013 when he first became pope. He supposedly used it as his daily driver in and around the Vatican but now it’s on display in the Vatican Museum.
Elon Musk – Lotus Esprit Submarine
Elon Musk is like a real-life Bond character, so it’s no surprise that he owns a real-life Bond car (as well as a whole load of Teslas). It’s not some flashy Aston Martin with an ejector seat, though – it’s the Lotus Esprit Submarine from ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’. Elon bought it at auction in 2013 where it cost him a whopping £616,000.Read our tesla car reviews
Apparently, he plans to turn it into a real working electric submarine using leftover Tesla bits. Although, Elon does like to launch his own cars into space. So who knows what might happen to it!
Gordon Ramsay – Ferrari Monza SP2
Gordon Ramsey loves Ferraris almost as much as he loves the F word. He’s had two LaFerraris – a coupe and an Aperta – and he’s just added the ultra-rare Ferrari Monza SP2 to his collection.
This £1.6 million sportscar is basically a stripped-out two-seater with a V12 engine from the 812 Superfast. Problem is, the SP2 doesn’t come with a roof. So what’s Gordon going to do when he’s cruising around the Cotswolds and it starts raining?
Prince Charles – Aston Martin DB6 Volante
The Royal family is as British as fish and chips, bad teeth and a disorganised response to a global pandemic. So, it makes total sense that Price Charles likes to cruise around in a classic British sports car – in his case, it’s an Aston Martin DB6 Volante.Read our Aston Martin car reviews
Unlike most Aston Martin owners, Charlie’s had his 4.0-litre straight-six tuned to run on bio-fuel. The best bit is that the Prince’s bio-fuel is made from left-over English wine. Talk about ‘driving under the influence’!
Jeremy Clarkson – Lamborghini tractor
Jeremy Clarkson is probably the most famous petrolhead in the world, but he actually owns a tractor. It’s not just any old tractor – it’s a Lamborghini tractor. Yep, Lamborghini actually makes tractors, and they’ve been doing it since 1948.
But Jezza doesn’t drive this thing to the shops. He also owns an old Alfa Romeo GTV6 – the same one he bought on the Grand Tour for £10,000. Good thing he also has a Volvo XC90 for when that old Alfa breaks down…
Lady Gaga – Ford F150 SVT Lightning
Lady Gaga is no stranger to doing outrageous things, but when it comes to cars she’s actually a bit ordinary. She cruises about in a Ford F150 pickup truck – that’s the most popular vehicle sold in the whole world.Read our Ford car reviews
Well, if we’re being specific, her truck is a 1993 ‘SVT Lightning’ version. It sounds exciting and has a 5.8-litre V8, but it only makes 240hp. Still, at least there’s plenty of space in the back for a few cuts of beef, sorry outfits…
