Ride Through NBA Star Dwight Howard’s Car Collection

Dwight Howard is a dominant American professional basketball player known for his athleticism, defensive prowess, and rebounding skills. Howard entered the NBA as the first overall pick in the 2004 draft by the Orlando Magic. Throughout his career, the 6'10" center has earned numerous accolades, including eight NBA All-Star selections and three Defensive Player of the Year awards.

Because of Dwight's individual and team success, he has been able to gather a net worth of 140 million. While most celebrities crave supercars, Dwight’s collection is all about luxury cars and ultimate trucks. The car that attracts the most attention and appeal is his Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6X6, which is the ultimate luxury pickup truck money can buy. Available in very limited numbers, it is indeed the holy grail of pickup trucks. Dwight also claims that it’s one of his personal favorites in this collection. So without further ado, here is Dwight Howard’s car collection.

5. Bentley Mulsanne

The Bentley Mulsanne is a car where art and luxury go hand in hand. With a massive 6.75-liter V8 engine, the Mulsanne is also indeed fast in straights. It might not be as fidgety as a Rolls Royce, but it is really astonishing to be driven in.

Dwight has owned it for a while now. Having said that, the latest version of the Bentley Mulsanne costs around $304,670 and more when you throw in some options and pack in plenty of luxury, space, and technology.

The Bentley Mulsanne is motivated by a 6.75-liter turbocharged V8 engine that churns out 505 horsepower and 752 lb-ft of torque. With this powertrain, it zipped from 0 to 60 mph in 5 seconds, which is quite impressive for a large and hefty sedan loaded with technology. It also has a top speed of 180 mph.

4. Rolls-Royce Ghost

The Rolls-Royce Ghost is the entry-level sedan from the Lavish British automaker that redefines luxury. As far as we could see, Dwight’s favorite ride must be the Ghost because he owns not one but two Ghosts.

The Rolls-Royce Ghost’s interior is a gallery of art. Everything, from the leather upholstery to the plush wood trims used inside, looks like a work of art.

Powering this beautiful and elusive sedan is a 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine that puts out 536 horsepower and 605 lb-ft of torque. Speaking of performance, it is capable of achieving 60 mph from a standstill in just 4.3 seconds and goes all the way up to a top speed of an electronically limited 155 mph.

3. Rolls-Royce Cullinan

If you think the Bentley Bentayga is the most luxurious SUV on the market, then you are wrong. Rolls-Royce has the perfect answer to annihilate the Bentley in terms of luxury and sheer comfort.

It is the latest offering from the brand, and Dwight’s Cullinan is one of the rarest and most alluring specs you could find on a Cullinan. He owns a Purple Cullinan with an astonishing purple interior that looks mesmerizing from the inside out.

Under the bonnet lies a massive 6.6-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine that is good for 571 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. This engine is equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission. When it comes to performance, it hits 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds and boasts a top speed of 155 mph, which is some serious performance figures for an SUV.

2. Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6X6

Last but not least, Dwight’s most special acquisition is the Mighty Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6X6. It is the ultimate expression of an off-road pickup truck. Nothing comes close to it in terms of off-road performance and seeking attention.

With twin rear axles and a massive 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine on board, it is a monster solely built to tear any terrain apart. The Mercedes sold only a tad over 100 units of this beast, which is probably the rarest and most valuable vehicle in Dwight's collection.

The G63 AMG 6X6 is surprisingly quick for a pick-up truck with twin rear axles and a curb weight of 9050 lbs. All thanks to the immense 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which cranks out 536 horsepower and 561 lb-ft of torque. In terms of performance, it could reach 60 mph from a standstill in just 7.8 seconds and manage to hit a maximum speed of 100 mph.

1. Knight XV Truck

The Knight XV Truck is an eccentric yet rare vehicle from Dwight’s collection that even features in the Fast and Furious 5 movie; it is the vehicle driven by WWE star Dwayne Johnson (Hobbs) in the film. To put things into perspective, it is a four-wheeled bulletproof tank in the form of an SUV.

Some of the standout features that come along with the XV are an oxygen survival kit, a black box, an underbody magnetic attachment detection system, and multiple armor levels. In a nutshell, the Knight XV is definitely one of the coolest and most stupendous vehicles ever made.

This intimidating-looking beast comes to life with either a 6.7L Power Stroke V8 diesel engine or a 6.8L V10 engine. The former produces 300 horsepower and 660 lb-ft of torque, while the latter puts out 325 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are linked to a 5-speed automatic transmission.
