Stars in their Cars

Celebrity Cars – Lamborghini gets unusual paint job

When it comes to the world of celebrity and cars then nothing is a big surprise. However the controversial singer
Chris Brown has managed to do that by taking his black Lamborghini and paying an artist, known only as Huero, to paint the lyrics to Tupac’s song “Lord Knows” on it. It took the artist 16 hours to paint the white lettering on the car, reports TMZ.

The lyric’s to Tupac’s “Lord Knows” are painted on the Lamborghini’s hood and roof. Brown made sure that Huero left out all of the f-words and n-words to keep it street friendly.

This is not the first time that Brown has customized a Lamborghini. In the past, he had one painted multi-colored to match the Hot Wheels version.

According to Mstars News, when the project was complete Brown posted the final product on Instagram, captioning it with, “@tattoo_huero just hooked my lambo up wit 2pac lyrics! #illsh*t. [sic]”

Back in 2007, Brown said it was his goal to be the R&B Tupac.

“I’m trying to be the R&B Tupac. I’m trying to make as many records as I can so when I’m out of this world, y’all can still have music from me nobody has heard yet,” Brown said.

Earlier this year, record producer, song writer and rapper Jermaine Dupree told Missinfo TV that he believed Brown would be bigger than Tupac.

“He’s young; he’s going to make mistakes. I think people started realizing that … when everybody’s young they make mistakes. People were looking at him like he was grown,” Dupree said.

Dupree added that he believed Brown would at least meet Tupac in popularity and even possibly surpass him.

“He’s a star, though. I told people when he came out of jail; he’s going to be Tupac. He’s an R&B singer. An R&B singer’s music is supposed to go farther than Tupac famous than Tupac. I mean, it is what it is. He’s a star, and I can’t front on it,” Dupree added.

In an interview with Rap-Up, Brown talked about how it felt being compared to Tupac.

“I just identify with a young black male who deal with trials and tribulations and can express his art through his poetry. I’m passionate so I can identify with that. Everything I do, I wear on my sleeve,” Brown said.

Words fail me on this one.

Amir Khan Shows off His New BMW i8

The new BMW i8 has just been released and is getting a lot of attention especially when they have famous owners. The latest celebrity to show off their new i8 is the boxer Amir Khan.

The former two-weight world champion posted two pictures on Twitter of himself and the BMW i8 which was released last month.

The car can reach a top speed of 155mph and can go from standing to 62mph in 4.4 seconds but will set you back almost £100,000.

Khan, 27, has been out of action since making his welterweight debut in May when he outpointed Luis Collazo in Las Vegas.

The Brit missed out on a fight with Floyd Mayweather later this year as he was observing Ramadan and would have been unable to train.

He is expected to return to the ring in October or November before a potential clash with the unbeaten Mayweather next spring.

Lionel Messi Drives New Maserati GranTurismo MC Strasdale 2014

We have just found out that Lionel Messi is not only a class act on a football pitch but off it as well. This is because he drives the Maserati GranTurismo MC Strasdale 2014 version

In my opinion this is one of the best looking cars out there, absolutely stunning.

Although things have not gone his way on the pitch this year I am sure driving this fantastic car gives him a lot of pleasure.

Quite possibly the best car ever manufactured by Maserati in terms of speed and power, the MC Strasdale features a three modes, Automatic, Sport, and Race.  It also comes with carbon ceramic brakes, and a 4.7 liter V8 Engine. 

The MC Strasdale is a sportier, faster, lighter variation on the already impressive GranTurismo, and has only been on the market for about two years.  The car can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds, and can hit speeds of up to 300 km per hour. 

It is the first and only non-racecar that Maserati has manufactured with the ability to travel that fast.

This is fast becoming my favorite supercar just on looks alone and is a probably going to become even more popular with the rich and famous.

Just listen to the noise this makes….pure class

 

 

 

John Terry spends £375,000 on two luxury cars

Having the salary of a top end football player means you can afford to splash out on a luxury car or two!

Chelsea captain John Terry has been pictured in two new gleaming luxury cars with an estimated combined price tag of £375,000.

He is still celebrating the new one-year deal he signed with the club at the end of last season, as he prepares his garage ahead of the new campaign.

Terry has been busy so far in pre-season, scoring in their 5-0 rout of Wycombe on Wednesday, before coming off the bench to score twice in their 3-2 victory over AFC Wimbledon on Saturday.

Despite persistent rumours that he was going to be moving on, Terry signed a one-year pay-as-you-play deal with the club at the back end of last season, meaning he’ll be captaining the club for the eleventh season in a row.

And, following the departure of Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole, he remains one of just three players – alongside Petr Cech and Jon Obi Mikel – to still be at Stamford Bridge from Jose Mourinho’s first stint in charge between 2004-07.

Terry and Chelsea head into this season hoping to avoid two consecutive campaigns without silverware for the first time in the Roman Abramovich era.

Tyga continues with his addiction to luxury cars with this classic Rolls-Royce

 

Tyga is getting quite a name for himself in the luxury car world. Photos of him standing along side his recently purchased black Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, also nick named the ‘batmobile’, circulated a few weeks back and now we are seeing him constantly posting on Instagram with his classic Rolls-Royce

Tyga is getting more and more attracted to the classic Rolls-Royce, considering he keeps posting images with a 1959 model on his Instagram. We all know how important the British luxury car is for all these rappers nowadays, who compete each other with the number of Wraiths and Ghosts they own, but in Tyga’s case it looks more like an obsession if you ask us.

Michael Ray Nguyen-Stevenson, known by his stage name Tyga, really wants it all, even though some things should remain for the connaisseurs. Since it’s owned by BMW AG, the Rolls-Royce models seem like they’ve turned into rappers’ favorite luxury coupe. We get that. But what we can’t agree with, is having the old school British ones also touched by this trend.

In the picture Tyga recently posted on social media, we can see a 1959 model, which means we’re talking about the Silver Cloud II. Even though it had little changes on the exterior, as opposed to his predecessor this model came with a 6.2-liter V8 engine, which pushed the weight to 2.11 tones. Performance was greatly improved and top speed was raised to 114 mph (183 km/h). The main improvements came with the acceleration and torque, while power steering became standard and electrically operated windows were now available as an option.

After all, this car makes you feel like the head of state, but that is only because kings and queens all over the world owned these sort of luxury limousines. We understand how rappers nowadays feel better when associated with gangsters, even though most of them are surrounded by bodyguards 24/7 and still play GTA on playstation. But seriously, nobody should joke around with the classics like these fellow wants to.

Stars and there cars!

Its not just about owning an expensive luxury car these days, its about modifying it to be the ultimate ride!

Can you guess which celebrity owns this leopard-print custom car? YOLO – it’s Justin Bieber, obviously!

The 20-year-old singer, who recently shared a video of Tom Hanks getting down and grooving away at a wedding, had his bodyguard test drive and then deliver the leopard print custom Audi R8 to him in Los Angeles.

The singer was later spotted cruising around Hollywood in the garish vehicle with reported new girlfriend, model Yovanna Ventura.

But Bieber’s not alone in possessing such an awfully ugly and over-priced car… Here’s a few more celebrities with questionable automobiles below:

“Batmobile” Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren bought by Tyga

When one celebrity buys themselves an outrageously expensive and customised luxury car, you can be sure that another will desperately want it!

In the world of the famous and rich, super expensive and stunningly fast cars have become more of the routine than the shocking moments. It’s the case of this murdered-out black Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, also nicknamed the “Batmobile” SLR, that was owned for a couple of months by Scott Disick only to be now bought by Tyga.

While normal people save-up for the every-day rides, celebrities keep switching their hundreds of dollars rides between each other and they don’t even realize it.

Reality television celebrity and businessman Scott Disick, better known as Kourtney Kardashian’s spouse, posted a couple of pictures with the black Mercedes-Benz SLR quoting he owns it, a couple of months ago. Soon after it turned out he decided to sell it and now it was just bought by rapper Tyga. Los Angeles-based Calabasas Luxury Motorcars auto shop, the place he bought it from, recently posted an image of the rapper sitting next to it.

After all, this on and off/selling and buying super expensive and luxurious cars it’s not even that rare among famous people. In fact, when you say Scott Disick you think of flamboyant class and exclusive car-collection, about the same words that pop-up when you talk about Tyga’s rides.

Well, it seems Justin Bieber’s close friend decided to buy the “Batmobile” SLR just because it’s sitting pretty in his driveway, right next to his Rolls Royce Ghost, Lambroghini Aventador, Maybach and his other Mercedes, the SLS.

Luxury car struggles for NBA Players

Two NBA players have been struggling with their man toys this week. Being at the top of your game is the best feeling in the world, but having to struggle and squeeze yourself into a luxury car is not a good look. Is forgetting to fuel your car even more embarrassing though?

We all know that NBA players can be well-compensated for the work they put it, and one of the more visible ways they tend to reward themselves for their hard work is by buying really nice cars. But with great vehicles come great responsibilities, as we saw through a few social media posts this week.

First, Bulls forward Carlos Boozer went to a dealership to check out a Lamborghini and posed for a photo inside the car. But as he discovered, it wasn’t the being inside the car that was a problem — it was getting out of the car…

Meanwhile, somewhere along a highway yesterday, Evan Turner‘s Ferrari ran out of gas. Luckily, one of his former Ohio State teammates was there in another car to not only get him some more gas (in one of those little red plastic containers), but also to document the incident on Instagram…

Rodriguez poses on Mercedes-Benz

We like pictures of fast cars, and we like a gossip story about a celebrity. Here we have both! Michelle Rodriguez’s latest Instagram pic looks like a still shot out of her Fast & Furious movies.

The 35-year-old actress posed with a rifle tucked under her left arm while she kissed the muzzle of a handgun in her right hand. “Ready for the chaos boulevard of broken dreams… Monopoly where’s the suicide door @alecmonopoly,” she captioned the pic. Alec Monopoly is a New York City graffiti artist that uses the Monopoly man in many of his works.

Michelle used a sepia-toned filter for the photo where she’s dressed in khaki cargo pants, black work boots, a white snow helmet, black leather jacket and sunglasses. She sat on the hood of a black Mercedes-Benz convertible.

The star of movies like Avatar and S.W.A.T. is currently filming the seventh installment of Fast & Furious. The cast lost its lead Paul Walker in a fiery crash last November.

Michelle broke up with her supermodel girlfriend Cara Delevingne in May. The couple, with a 14-year age gap, was first spotted kissing at a basketball game in February.

She confirmed her relationship with Cara and gushed about her new girlfriend at the time.

“It’s going really well. She’s so cool. When we started hanging out I just thought she was awesome, and we have the best time together,” Michelle told The Mirror.

“She’s hard though. You wouldn’t want to mess with her in a fight.”

With Michelle’s new toys, Cara might not want to mess with her ex.
