6 cars from Donald Trump's private collection

We present 6 vehicles owned by Donald Trump. He has been and still is a car enthusiast, and thanks to his great fortune he has been able to enjoy a wide variety of incredible vehicles.

Donald Trump: charismatic, rebellious, hated, loved, crazy, genius… Many comments describe the current President of the United States, and the general public seems unable to agree on whether to like him or love him. But amid all the politics, did you know that Trump is a well-known car lover?
Below, we offer a fun top list of 6 interesting cars owned by the billionaire magnate, to perhaps, among other things, reveal more clues about his personality based on his taste in cars.

Rolls-Royce

This prestigious brand has always been a common link among millionaires. Its extreme comfort and elegant presence undoubtedly draw people’s attention, often recalling the famous limousines. This luxury brand is one of Donald Trump’s favorites, and he has owned several of these models throughout his life, among which we can highlight the Rolls-Royce Phantom or the beautiful 1956 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. Both cars cost no less than €500,000.

MercedesMercedes-Benz SLR McLaren

The legendary SLR McLaren marked a before and after with its incredible, refined design (notably the automatic rising rear spoiler under braking) and a price that was absolutely out of reach for the rest of mortals. Undoubtedly, Trump could not resist this little gem, and I don’t blame him, who could? A car far ahead of its time, with a design that even its proud owners of Ferrari could not stop admiring. With a V8 engine producing 617 CV and a price of €480,000, Trump made a great choice for his new toy…

Cadillac Allante

Sometimes it is hard to understand why such an ugly car achieved such a significant niche among the “upper spheres” of society. Cadillac is one of the most beloved brands in America, somewhat like what SEAT represents in Spain, and the simple fact of supporting the national product is enough for many Americans to buy its models. The Allante is not the only Cadillac the U.S. president has had in his life. His Allante, of course, was painted gold and had a V8 engine, at a price of €55,000, surprisingly cheap for someone with a bank account like Mr. Trump’s.

Tesla Roadster

Trump supports the adaptation of electricity to cars, which is why he owns the first model Tesla produced, a beautiful electric car that modified the famous Lotus Elise, a small and powerful car. The magnate spent around €100,000 on this model, but hey, at least it didn’t harm the environment.

Ferrari F430

Did you think Trump had never had a Ferrari? The most prestigious Italian brand and possibly the most famous in automotive history could not be missing from his collection.
He chose a 2007 Ferrari F430, a model that made a great impression on the wealthy public who could afford it, with its beautiful sound and great driving and sporty feel, as well as its beautiful design. The billionaire spent about €330,000 on this beauty. Recently, his model was auctioned and sold for €250,000 after more than 10 years of age, which would not be bad for any of us, but which we are sure was a disappointment for the magnate…

Lamborghini Diablo

A Lamborghini Diablo could not be missing from President Trump’s private collection. As one of the most iconic models in the history of the Italian manufacturer, with its aggressive lines and original design, as well as its doors that opened upward, the famous wings, Trump could not resist going for one of these right away.
It had a powerful V12 engine that also makes it special, being the last one built by the brand before it was acquired by the Volkswagen group. The model only came with a manual transmission, which tells us that Trump is capable of using a gearbox of this kind, unlike many Americans and an increasing number of people who have lost the habit. The Diablo went on sale in 1990 for a mere €200,000, and I say “mere” because by today’s standards it would be a ridiculous price, considering the Aventador costs more than double… How the value of money has changed in just 20 years!
