As a record-breaking world champion, Lewis Hamilton owns some of the most rare cars in the world. While all of them are expensive, one of them particularly stands out in terms of money. Notably, Hamilton has owned some of the best cars in the world, and even his current collection is one to envy.

The seven-time world champion is a car and bikes fanatic. On grid, he drives a super-fast Mercedes W13, while off the track he has the likes of limited editions that have a count of 100’s or 200’s in the world. He has been the owner of the rare, ’66 Shelby Cobra 427, and even has had a Pagani Zonda 760, only made for him.

Lewis Hamilton owns a LaFerrari Aperta

There is, however, one car in particular that is not only the ‘most expensive’ but also the fastest car in his collection. The LaFerrari Aperta (white “Aperta” open-top variant) is the most expensive car Hamilton owns and can lock in a top speed of 217 mph. In fact, Hamilton can get from 0 to 60 in just 2.4 seconds, in one of 210 models around the world. This car becomes the most expensive one after the Pagani Zonda that Hamilton sold for $11.3 million.

One has to be cherry picked by Ferrari themselves to be chosen as an owner. Hamilton has worked hard to buy this car and even calls them his ‘babies’ and an ‘art-piece’. Remarkably, the current selling value of the car is $5.3 million. However, there is a pricier vehicle in line that might just add more value to the Billion Dollar Man’s collection.
