Lewis Hamilton drives the quickest vehicles on the race track, but at home he drives some of the most beautiful road cars.
Hamilton’s private collection of supercars and hypercars is worth £13 million!
Recently, Hamilton has admitted that he rarely drives his private collection of automobiles, since he has become more climate-conscious throughout his career.
Hamilton’s small but remarkable and wide-ranging collection of meticulously picked machinery rests quietly in his Monaco and Los Angeles garages.
Let’s examine Hamilton’s car collection.
Pagani Zonda 760 LH
Eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed the ‘LH’ ending following the model name. It’s no coincidence, you’re right.
Hamilton sold his £1.6 million Pagani Zonda, custom-built for him, in 2021.
Hamilton was one of five special-order Zonda 760s made by Pagani. Hamilton’s former friend Adrian Sutil owns the Monaco-based 760 ‘Viola’, one of the other five.
The automobile has a manual gearbox and can reach 0-100km/h in 3.5 seconds at Hamilton’s discretion.
“The Zonda is awful to drive!” Hamilton mentioned the automobile. “It’s my best-sounding car, but worst-handling.”
This may explain Hamilton’s 2015 Monte Carlo collision, which required Pagani to repair the damage.
Mercedes-AMG Project One
Hamilton bought the Project One, Mercedes’ most remarkable car, because he drives for Mercedes’ factory Formula 1 team.
Hamilton tested plug-in hybrid prototypes due to his interest in sustainable fuels and powertrains.
The Project One can exceed 220mph and will be delivered in late 2022.
Only 275 £2 million Project Ones will be built. Hamilton bought two for himself and his father Anthony.
Former Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg, David Coulthard, and Mark Wahlberg have also bought one of the rare machines.
Mercedes-AMG SLS Black (with Safety Car!)
Hamilton owns other Mercedes cars besides the Project One.
The 6.2-litre V8 with 620bhp powers the AMG SLS Black, which hits 100km/h in three seconds.
Hamilton’s most “normal” car is a white Mercedes AMG GT R, which was the Formula 1 Safety Car from 2018 to 2020.
Hamilton owns a Mercedes AMG G63 6×6, a powerful off-road truck that cost him almost £500,000.
Hamilton may also drive his Mercedes-Maybach S600, with a 6-litre V12 engine, in luxury.

LaFerrari, among others!
Hamilton has driven Mercedes F1 for a decade, but he still loves a red Ferrari, his childhood dream car.
Hamilton owned at least three Ferraris, his F1 rivals.
These include a Ferrari 599 SA Aperta, LaFerrari, and Aperta.
The LaFerraris’ hybrid 6.3-litre engine produces over 900bhp, and Hamilton reportedly spent £2.2 million on the Aperta variant and £1.4 million on the other.
Only 80 599s were made to celebrate Pininfarina’s 80th anniversary, making Hamilton’s car unusual. Despite being cheaper than the LaFerrari Aperta, it cost £1.7 million.

Hamilton features some historical machinery as well as cutting-edge supercar machinery from the world’s largest manufacturers.
One of Hamilton’s most costly cars is a 1966 Shelby Cobra worth £4 million.
Hamilton took ex-girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger for drives in the exotic car while they were together in Los Angeles.
However, the longer Hamilton keeps this automobile, the more it will appreciate – Cobra prices are predicted to grow at auction, and Hamilton’s pension might be secured from just one machine!
Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 1967Hamilton bought a 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 for £1.1 million to replicate ‘Eleanor’ from ‘Gone in 60 Seconds’.
Hamilton had an American tuner and bodyshop customize his car after buying it to make it look so good.
McLaren P1
Hamilton has kept McLaren dear to his heart, even though his association with the brand is over.
Hamilton bought a P1 supercar in 2015, three years after leaving McLaren F1.
Its 903 horsepower 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine and electric motor allow it to reach 217mph and 0-100 km/h in under 2.7 seconds.
Hamilton spent £1.2 million developing the F1’s replacement, the P1.
What other automobiles does Lewis Hamilton own?
Hamilton is known to own the above cars, but he undoubtedly has many more for times he wants to hide.
Hamilton also owns an electric Maverick X3 dune buggy and a Honda CRF450RX motocross bike, which he rides amid California’s beautiful scenery.
