Lewis Hamilton, an F1 legend, has an impressive automobile collection that befits his status as a racing icon.

1F1 legend Hamilton shows off his Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe worth approximately £177k.

Mercedes paid him an incredible £350 million when he joined for them in 2013.

However, it could signal the end of an era. The 39-year-old is apparently set to make a surprise move to Ferrari and pair up with Charles Leclerc ahead of the 2025 season.

Hamilton’s tremendous riches has allowed him to live an enviable lifestyle.

And automobiles are undoubtedly his obsession, with a collection of supercars valued approximately £13 million.Hamilton is a self-proclaimed auto enthusiast who owns everything from the latest supercars to old classics and even electric vehicles.

He had earlier stated: “I know nothing about wine. I don’t know a lot about art.

“But what I do know is cars, and I’m very particular about them.”

Here’s a glance at some of his expensive collection::

PAGANI ZONDA 760 LH

Hamilton’s rarest car was his £1.6 million Pagani Zonda, which was built solely for him.

The outside and interior are purple, and at the sports star’s request, he chose a manual transmission over the standard sequential one.

What are his reasons? He hated going behind the wheel at first.

He once stated, “The Zonda is difficult to drive!

“It’s the best-sounding car I own, but handling-wise it’s the worst.”

That could explain why Hamilton was involved in an аccident in 2015, causing considerable damage to the prized vehicle.

Hamilton reportedly sold the motor in 2022.

1966 SHELBY 427 COBRA

This magnificent antique is the most valuable car in Hamilton’s collection.

It’s an uncommon sight, estimated to be worth around £4 million, unless you’ve seen the racer driving down the Pacific Coast Highway in Los Angeles.

Hamilton was frequently seen taking his ex-missus Nicole Scherzinger for a ride in this beauty, which set him apart from the throng.

LAFERRARI

Every car enthusiast worth their salt owns this £2 million Ferrari, which is another collector’s item whose value increases with time.

The LaFerrari has a top speed of 217 mph and can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 2.4 seconds, making it Hamilton’s fastest car.

Footballers Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Son Heung-min also operate this terrifyingly fast motor, which must feel like driving a racing car.

MERCEDES-AMG PROJECT ONE

Lewis obtained a Project One in 2021, despite the fact that it was not officially released until 2022.

He was extensively involved in the construction of the plug-in hybrid sports automobile, which can reach a high speed of 217 mph.

Only 275 were produced, and they cost roughly £2 million.

Getting his hands on one was one of the numerous benefits of his contract with Mercedes.

MERCEDES-AMG SLS BLACK

He already had the SL Black Series, so why not add the SLS?

Hamilton, who plainly needs speed, added this supercar to his garage, most likely because it is the quickest Mercedes in production.

The SLS, powered by a 6.2-litre V8 engine producing 622bhp, has a top speed of 196 mph.

It also accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3 seconds, making it ideal for Hamilton’s off-track thrills. For £230,000, it’s just what you’d expect.

MCLAREN P1

Despite splitting from McLaren’s racing team, Hamilton can’t have been too upset with his old employers. In 2015, he added a £2 million P1 to his impressive collection of rides.

The P1 features a 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine paired with an electric motor, giving the supercar a total power and torque output of 903 bhp and 980 Nm of torque.

That means it’s fast and powerful, capable of reaching a top speed of 217 mph and accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in just under 2.7 seconds.

1967 FORD MUSTANG SHELBY GT500

The second old automobile in his fleet is reminiscent of one of the Eleanor models from the Hollywood blockbuster Gone in 60 Seconds.

Hamilton had his car customized by Oklahoma-based car shop Classic Recreations for an extra fee.

They can sell for up to £750k at auction, and Hamilton’s is in excellent shape. However, we doubt he will ever sell it.

BEST OF THE REST

When the Mercedes-Maybach 6 debuted in 2016, Hamilton made sure to get his hands on the concept car.

The 2×2 coupe is fully electric and can travel up to 200 miles before requiring recharging.

Hamilton also owns another Mercedes, the Maybach S600, a premium chauffeur’s car with a partition separating the front seats from the back.

Both of those motors are worth roughly £800,000 altogether.

Hamilton doesn’t mind swapping four wheels for two, sometimes riding his £6,500 Honda CRF450RX Motocross Bike around California’s dirt circuits.Then there’s his Maverick X3 dune buggy, which would have cost him roughly £20,000 and is also electric in keeping with his eco-warrior persona.

However, with a Ferrari swap likely, can you picture the business cars he has lined up?
