PAGANI ZONDA 760 L

The rarest motorcycle Hamilton owns is a £1.6m Pagani Zonda made entirely for him.

The exterior and interior are both purple, and at the request of the sports star, he opted for a manual transmission instead of the usual sequential transmission.

His reason? Because he hated getting behind the wheel of it at first.

He once said: “Zonda drives terrible!

“It’s the best sounding car I’ve owned, but handling wise it’s the worst.”

That may be why in 2015, Hamilton was involved in an accident that caused some significant damage to the beloved engine.

Hamilton is often followed when he catches his ex-girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger to spin around in this beauty, which will help him stand out from the crowd.

Each Car enthusiasts worth the salt own this £1 million Ferrari – another collector’s item that increases in value over the years.

Capable of reaching a top speed of 217 mph, the LaFerrari can hit 0-62 mph in just 2.4 seconds, which means it’s the fastest car Hamilton owns.

He was heavily involved in the production of the plug-in hybrid sports car capable of reaching a top speed of 217 mph.

MERCEDES-AMG SLS BLACK

Hamilton, who clearly has a need for speed, added this supercar to his garage perhaps because it is the fastest Mercedes produced.

Hamilton customized by the Oklahoma Classic Recreations store at an additional cost.

At auction these can fetch £750k, and you can bet Hamilton’s is in top condition. That said, we doubt he’ll sell it.

THE BEST OF REST

When the Mercedes-Maybach 6 debuted in 2016, Hamilton was sure he had a concept car in hand.

The 2×2 coupe is all-electric and can run for up to 200 miles before needing to be recharged.

Hamilton also has another Mercedes – the Maybach S600, which is a luxury chauffeur with a partition separating the front and rear seats.

Both engines are worth around £800,000 in total.

And Hamilton doesn’t mind swapping four wheels for two – sometimes taking his £6,500 Honda CRF450RX Motocross bike around the dirt roads of California.

Then there’s his Maverick X3 dune bug which will set him back around £20k, which is also electrically themed with his eco-warrior status.
