Sting’s Car Collection: A Rock Legend’s Taste In Classic And Luxury Rides

Best known for winning 17 Grammy Awards for hits like If I Ever Lose My Faith in You and Every Breath You Take, this British singer has achieved global fame in the pop industry. While his timeless music continues to captivate audiences, what many don’t realize is that he also has a passion for equally classy cars.

Recognized worldwide by his stage name, Sting, the legendary artist was born Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner and is now in his 70s. With a net worth exceeding $400 million, Sting’s car collection may not be vast, but it can be compared to that of Paul McCartney—an artist he has openly admired—sharing a similar taste for vintage classics.

Let’s take a closer look at these beauties and the fascinating stories behind them.

4. 2016 Fiat 124 Spider

One of the rare times Sting has shared a glimpse of his car collection was in 2020 when he posted a picture of himself sitting inside a Fiat 124 Spider. Flashing a wide smile, the Grammy-winning singer gave fans a look at his latest ride. 

In another post from 2018, the caption referenced to his collaboration with Shaggy, Gotta Get Back My Baby, in which the Abarth 124 Spider made an appearance.

3. 2009 Cadillac Escalade

Sting has often been seen driving a Cadillac Escalade, a stark contrast to the compact European cars he grew up around. The black SUV has been his go-to ride in the U.S., where he once owned a 5,400-square-foot property in New York’s Central Park West, purchased for $26.8 million in 2008 and sold for $50 million in 2017.

2. 1967 MGB GT

A photograph from 1978 captures a young Sting in London, proudly posing with his MGB GT, keys in hand. The excitement on his face is evident, highlighting his love for the classic British sports car. Given his English roots, owning this vintage beauty likely carried special significance for him.

Another renowned English personality Richard Hammond—a journalist who co-hosted Top Gear from 2002 to 2015 alongside Jeremy Clarkson and James May—also boasts this iconic, unique MGB GT in his collection.

1. 2004 Mercedes-Benz S-Class

During his 2004 tour in Berlin to promote his autobiography, Broken Music, and his album Sacred Love, Sting was spotted stepping out of a Mercedes-Benz S-Class. 

Years later, in 2017, he was once again spotted with another Mercedes-Benz S-Class in Lithuania, ahead of his performance in Kaunas. 

Special Mention

1999 Jaguar S-Type

The Jaguar S-Type featured prominently in Sting’s hit song Desert Rose, one of his most-watched videos on YouTube. While it’s uncertain if the car belongs to him, its presence enhances the song’s mystique and elegance.

2013 Maserati Quattroporte

Sting’s affinity for stylish cars was evident in Stolen Car (2015), where he used a Maserati Quattroporte, further reinforcing his appreciation for fine automobiles. Whether he owns the car or not remains uncertain, but its presence adds to the video’s sleek aesthetic and complements the singer’s unmistakable charisma.

2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon

In an Instagram post promoting a concert with Shaggy, a Rubicon was visible in the background. While it’s unclear if Sting owns the vehicle, celebrities are known to keep cars from their projects, making it a possibility.

Lexus RX 330 and Mercedes-Benz E-Class

In a 2018 Instagram post, Sting was photographed walking past a Lexus RX 330. Since multiple vehicles were in the background, it’s uncertain whether the car belonged to him. Another luxury sedan tied to Sting is the 2009 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, though the images are from his Brazil tour with this car.
