Bugatti Veyron 16.4 $1.4 Million We all know this old-time Risky Business superstar and Mission Impossible franchise emissary, but do you know his supercar? Consider yourself introduced to the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. Cruise was the first celeb to own the fastest car in the world. It’s not just gorgeous on the outside. The Bugatti Veyron, strapped with a stampeding 1,200 horsepower engine, roars out of a green-light with an acceleration rate of 0-60 mph in 2.4 seconds.
Its carbon-fiber monocoque design makes it stunning and lightweight. Top speeds find the performance beast at 257 mph. Cruise presented his swank new ride at the world premiere of Mission Impossible III in 2006. The world’s most expensive car put him back $1.4 million, but it’s not the only sleek set of wheels Mr. Cruise commandeers. His 1979 Porsche 911 964 was his baby, but he also owns a sleek 1958 frost-blue Corvette, a Chevrolet Chevelle SS 2-door coupe, a 4-door BMW 7-Series, a Mercedes-Benz S Class, a Mercedes CLK W209, a Cadillac Escalade a Ford Mustang Saleen S281 in grey, and a Ford Mustang Saleen S281 in orange. Consider that a sample of his collection.
Emma Roberts
Range Rover $50K Emma Roberts got an early start on her acting career appearing in her first movie at age 9. The star has done quite well. By the time she was 21, she was able to purchase this raven black Range Rover for $50,000. It’s been her go-to vehicle, zipping her around Beverly Hills and the Hollywood area. For her 26th birthday, Roberts’ luxury SUV received a ding courtesy of a tree and an inattentive valet.
Emma shared post-party details on Instagram. The fun “tacos and tequila” celebration, hosted at a friend’s house, was attended by 50 people. All was going well until she went out to find her Range Rover lodged into a tree. The valet failed to apply the parking brake, and it rolled down the driveway. The incident is all way behind her. Today fans are wild about her expanding role in American Horror Story.
Kate Upton
Mercedes-Benz SLS 6.3 $248K Supermodel Kate Upton knows how to pick a car. The Sports Illustrated bikini and Vogue cover model likes it so much she starred in a Super Bowl-premiere commercial for Mercedes in which she supervises NFL players washing her Benz. Now she owns a Mercedes-Benz SLS 6.3 AMG. The swanky two-door Gullwing German performance coupe is the only car to win the gold Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany.
It houses a 6.2-liter V8 engine, so consuming 18 mpg of fuel is no surprise. To ease the carbon footprint of her chic beast, Kate purchased a $110K Tesla Model S in white. It feels better driving something that doesn’t contribute to climate catastrophe. She doesn’t just advertise for SI, she’s a genuine Texas sports girl! The 27-year-old is married to Houston Astros pitcher Justin Verlander.
Tom Hanks
Scion xB (Scion eBox) $55,000 Yay Tom! Just one more reason to love everybody’s favorite movie star. Tom Hanks has gone green. There’s no better way to reduce emissions than by eliminating them completely. Hank’s Toyota Scion xB has been converted to an all-electric Scion eBox. He was the very first person to purchase a converted xB in 2007. He unveiled the work of Toyota’s AC Propulsion division after they converted his Scion xB into a battery on wheels.
The car charges in 2-5 hours and has a range of about 160 miles. Top speed? A safe and swift 95 mph. As one of the faster EVs, it can get out of the way of traffic in a jiffy. The eBox reaches 0-60 in seven seconds. It cost Hanks $55,000. With a net worth of $350 million, it’s not about the money. Hanks was proudly quoted saying, “There are three electric cars sitting on the moon, and now another one in my garage.”
Leonardo DiCaprio
Fisker Karma $135K Leonardo DiCaprio took responsible-driving to a whole new level. Falling in love with the Fisker Karma, he moved to invest in Fisker Automotive, become its brand ambassador and, of course, purchase a shiny new silver Fisker Karma. He was one of 3,000 on the sold-out waiting list anticipating buying the $100,000 luxury plug-in hybrid. He’s long supported sustainable causes and was also on board with the Tesla Roadster, another high-end electric sports car. As for the Karma, he says it’s beautiful-looking and rides like a sports car. He likes it because of its extended-range capability, an upgrade to the hybrids he had purchased in the past.
Now that he’s an equity investor, he’ll plug the Fisker liberally! Fisker Automotive also agreed to support the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation in the deal, as well as his eco-friendly manufacture goal requests such as cruelty-free upholstery. The Karma is solar-powered. Just like solar-paneled homes, solar panels on the roof of the Karma generate electricity that charges the car’s Lithium-Ion battery and runs the climate control system.
