As a rapper, Kanye West's car collection expresses his passion for sophisticated and top-of-the-line luxury vehicles. Being a chick magnet himself, Kanye's list of sports and supercars in his garage might give you an idea of how much ladies would love to get these cars themselves. In other words, Ye's collection is just fit for god diggers. In this article, we are going to delve into Kanye West's impressive car collection, covering everything from sleek sports cars to custom-designed marvels and the untold stories surrounding them.  


12. Porsche Panamera

We start with a Porsche Panamera that the celebrity owns, wrapped in sleek matte black. Kanye has always managed to attract the paparazzi with his outfits and music. However, he also takes his wheels to do the same. West’s Porsche Panamera was reported stolen back in 2010 and TMZ reports suggest that around 4:00 a.m. three men were seen escaping after smashing the car into an unoccupied home in Honolulu.

Kanye was first spotted with his Porsche Panamera in 2014 at the Paris Fashion Week. Kanye was first spotted with his Porsche Panamera in 2014 at the Paris Fashion Week. During the same weekend, Kanye took his time enjoying his Porsche ride but also seemed to have had a meeting with renowned author Brett Easton Ellis who wrote American Psycho. Kanye possibly had a chat with him for his 2013 biographical “Yeezus”. 


11. Porsche 911 Carrera S

Owning one Porsche didn’t sit well with the rapper hence entered Kanye’s 2016 Porsche 911 Carrera S. Then 39-year-old Kanye was snapped on a Friday evening leaving his office in the Kardashian hometown of Calabasas in his newly bought 911 featuring a glossy black paint job and a brown interior.

Although the timeline goes back beyond his 911 purchase, “Yeezy” mentioned a Porsche 911 in the lyrics of his single “Heavy Hitters” which goes, “Last 9/11, I was poor on the ave, until I pluraled my math / Now it’s Porsche 911, and I’m flooring the gas”. 


10. Lamborghini Urus Custom

The third car on Kanye's outrageous collection is his custom-made Lamborghini Urus. Featuring a cream-matte wrap from "Just a Wrapper" a wrap company in California. He purchased it for his office in L.A. and designed his own set of wheels designed with the help of Boyd Coddington Wheels. The SUV later received an Opti-Coat Pro and a bright blue interior with Opti-Guard to protect the surfaces from California Detail Studio.

Modifying a Lamborghini does affect your pockets but Kanye isn't alone who spent dollars on custom Urus models. Travis Scott's car collection also features a custom Urus from West Coast Customs fitted with Mansory elements. 


9. Aston Martin DBS

There have been a few noises of Kanye spotted driving a 2011 Aston Martin DBS, however, the media has fallen short of proving the rumors correct. People would reach out to social media if West sold his DBS assuming he owned one but that also isn't the case here.

If we take other articles as an example, Kanye's DBS is surely fit for his luxury studded car collection. Stay tuned as we will be digging out the truth about “Ye's” Aston Martin DBS. 


8. Mercedes-Maybach 57

Kanye West is known to collaborate with very well-known hip-hop artists across the industry. Particularly in this song, called "Otis," where he featured Jay-Z, the song became a massive hit. This 2004 Maybach 57 was partially modded in Mad Max vibes for the music video.

Maybach means Money, however, they did not give a damn about destroying something that costs more than 6 figures. Why? Well, they don't mind the money and it's all about fun for them. The car was put up for auction in 2012, at Phillips de Pury & Company but managed to bring only $60,000 which went to “Save the Children” foundation as promised. 


7. Lamborghini Aventador

Kanye West was very lucky to be in a family where he was gifted a 2012 Lamborghini Aventador LP-700-4 trim on his 35th birthday. According to a report, Kanye West was in Ireland for his 'Watch the Throne' when his ex-wife Kim Kardashian decided to take the video of the car and show it to him in person on the Emerald Island.


Besides that, “Yeezy” was once spotted with the matte black Aventador at a McDonald’s drive-thru to enjoy his hamburger back in 2015. Kanye’s assistant once crashed the car into Kim's gate. Fortunately, nobody was injured.

This Italian brand has been a favorite pick for most of the celebrities and also has been popular among female stars as well like Kylie Jenner. Yes, Kylie's car collection does have an Aventador but unlike Kanye’s, it's a roadster.


6. Mercedes-Benz SLR Mclaren

One of the rarest of them all, it's quite remarkable when two different legendary companies collaborate together to make a sportscar. While Mercedes solely did the exterior, McLaren was responsible for everything else around it. Kanye West was one of those names who decided to take on this legendary sports car with Mercedes and McLaren.

With only 5,000 units ever built, Kanye's 2006 Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren is surely one car that he does not hand over to anyone for a spin except for his ex-wife Kim Kardashian. During their married days, Kim frequently took "Ye's" SLR on her way to the gym.


5. Mercedes-Benz SLR Stirling Moss

Another treat from Mercedes, but this time it's a limited edition with only 75 of them ever made. Kanye didn’t stop to check the bills before purchasing this beauty. With a total of 75 cars in the world and a limited production rate, we can see how epic it would have been for Kanye to get his hands on one.

Named after one of the greatest British Formula -1 drivers Sir Stirling Craufurd Moss, the Stirling Moss was spotted for the first time back in 2009 at the Cannes Film Festival. Kanye along with his friend Virgil Abloh was spotted arriving at the scene driving the Mercedes Moss.


4. Mercedes-Benz Minivan Custom

Among Kanye’s latest purchases, the custom minivan that he got back in 2021 stands out the most in terms of luxury and features alone. Sold by “Wires Only” in Los Angeles revealed that “Ye’s” minivan is called “Executive Style”.

The rapper has been snapped on multiple occasions swinging around his neighborhood in L.A. with his “Executive Style” minivan. West even took his friends for a sushi treat down at Nobu restaurant on a Sunday night in Malibu, Calif.


3. Dartz Prombron Iron Diamond

Kanye West has always been known for his eclectic tastes, whether in music or fashion, and his car collection is one of those things that is completely new and unique. In that case, he chose the world’s most luxurious armored car. It has a ruby paint finish with carbon fiber detailing.

Kanye’s unique 2010 Prombron Red Diamond came with gold-plated windows, pure tungsten exhaust, and speed gauges covered in diamonds. This outrageousness does not stop here, as the manufacturer provides a bottle of Vodka, and the flask is made out of gold coins minted between 1908 and 1912. Safety and insanity indeed.


2. BAC Mono “Yemobile”

Whatever the situation may be in “Ye’s” music career, his thirst for unique rides keeps getting boundless. Behold, West’s most recent addition in his garage - a BAC Mono with a Batmobile theme. Purchased back in 2022, Kanye likes to call his BAC the “Yemobile”.

Although we are not sure about the extent of the modifications done on Kanye’s “Yemobile” it is rumored to have cost him more than $220,000. As for the looks, the car sure gives us real-life Batman vibes.  


1. Bugatti Veyron 16.4 FBG Par Hermès

The 2008 Bugatti Veyron that Kanye West had was the FBG Hermes trim; this was the Veyron special edition. The specialty of this car, which is far more different than other Bugatti, was its interior, whose leatherwork was crafted in the Hermes atelier.

There is no solid evidence of "Ye" having the car in his possession, however, a single Pinterest post does circulate the idea of him owning one.   


Honorable Mentions:

1. Lexus ES 300

Kanye once owned a Lexus ES 300. However, things didn't end up right on October 23, 2002. It was 3 am when Kanye was driving home from a recording session, and Kanye fell asleep at the steering wheel of his vehicle. Tragically, he crashed into an oncoming car, which resulted in him suffering several injuries including a completely shattered jaw in three places.


2. SHERP ATV 

SHERP is basically a Ukrainian ATV manufactured by Quadro International. SHERP ATVs are very useful in multiple obstacle-prone situations and can be customized as per requirements. Kanye West ordered eight of these vehicles to be driven around his various ranches. However, one of these ATVs was gifted and went to his rapper friend 2 Chainz's car collection. 


That's all for Kanye's car collection, at least till he buys himself new fancy wheels. However, if you are interested in looking into the car collection of other celebrities, make sure to check out the links below.
