Discover Comedy Legend Eddie Murphy’s Car Collection

Eddie Murphy started off doing comedy and won hearts and minds alike. An accomplished actor, comedian, and singer, Murphy is multi-talented, to say the least. His tenure with Saturday Night Live is known by many and so are the movies he starred in like Coming to America, Beverly Hills Cop, and Shrek. Murphy's accolades are well known, as is his net worth of $200 million. But only a few people know about his obsession with cars, especially Rolls-Royce. His car collection includes a Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé, a Rolls Royce Wraith, a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, an Aston Martin DB9, and a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. 

5. Mercedes Benz SLS AMG

The Mercedes Benz SLS AMG is a well-known coupe that has been a substitute for the supercar-like performance, precise handling, edgy design, powerful exhaust note, and outstanding braking performance. The style and performance of the SLS AMG go hand in hand to make sure that you’re recognized anywhere you go.

Apart from that, this is a practical supercar that can be a viable option for everyday use. It has decent fuel efficiency and a spacious cargo compartment which helps it retain its everyday practicality badge. The roadster and coupe body types would add a larger appeal to the car and make it a favorite among many.

The SLS AMG comes with a 6.2L V8 engine coupled with a 7-speed automated manual transmission. This gives it a 0 to 60 acceleration of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 196 mph.

4. Aston Martin DB9 

The Aston Martin DB9 comes with an intimidating 5.9L V12 engine with a 6-speed automatic transmission. This would give it a quick acceleration going from 0 to 60 in just 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 186 mph.

These factors would catapult the DB9 into popular culture and its representation in video games would further build hype behind it. Although it would end production in 2015, the DB9 is still popular in its used form and has a reputation to retain its price.

3. Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano used to be its most expensive offering for a long time and it held up its end of the bargain with its exclusivity and premium nature. Only 800 would be produced at most and it would remain an impressive specimen of what supercars could achieve provided they got the right person behind the wheel.

The 599 GTB Fiorano has an ultra-premium interior that adds to its allure and the extravagant materials only add to the layout which is mechanical in nature. This coupe will remain a classic among fans of the automotive scene although a far cry from the usual Ferrari design.

The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is definitely just all show, it has a 6.0L V12 engine coupled with a 6-speed manual transmission. This setup grants the coupe a quick acceleration of 0 to 60 in just 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 205 mph. 

2. Rolls-Royce Wraith 

A roadster with luxury materials is what Rolls=Royce Wraith brings to the competition. It is one of the most performance-oriented models within the Rolls=Royce lineup. The classic spirit of ecstasy on an ultra-fast casual car isn’t what we would expect from the company and that’s why it retains its high standards for luxury and elegance.

The front fascia is reminiscent of the sedans by the company but from the side, the sloping roofline and shortened body make it unique and charming. Living in a gated community in Beverly Hills, Murphy has little need for practical cars and his collections represent that.

The Wraith has a 6.6L Twin-Turbo V12 engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. This gives the coupe a quick 0 to 60 acceleration of 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 162 mph.

1. Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe

The Phantom Drophead Coupe has been the face of Rolls-Royce for some time now and the addition of a Drophead Coupe was just what people wanted to see. The unmatched luxury and convenience that comes with a Phantom added to the fun-loving drop-top body makes it the ultimate flex on anybody.

The exterior is impressive as usual but so is the interior with the best-crafted design we have ever seen. The coupe can also be customized to a large extent which makes it personal to each and every person who owns it. Murphy’s love for Rolls-Royce is compounded by the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe he owns along with his Wraith.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe comes with a 6.75L twin-turbocharged V12 engine paired with 8-speed automatic transmission. This gives the coupe an acceleration from 0 to 60 in just 5.6 seconds and a top speed of 149 mph.
