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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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”.

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.

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.
