Dwayne Johnson is an ardent lover of automobiles and has several luxury cars in his garage. Those cars aren’t just any cars, as ‘The Brahma Bull’ has vehicles that suit his get-up. However, among his vast collection, he doesn’t drive his Ferrari as he faces the same problem as NBA star LeBron James, who also owns another model of the same brand. The Los Angeles Lakers player faced this problem six years before Johnson had a Ferrari.

A few years back in 2015, ‘The Great One’ shared a picture on his Instagram showing his gorgeous matte white LaFerrari. Ferrari gave one of their top car on complimentary lease which had only 25 models in the world. But, the former WWE Champion mentioned in the caption, “Daddy don’t fit in it”, which is why he doesn’t take the car for a ride. Still, The Rock praised the car and wrote, “She was a fast machine, she kept her motor clean – she was the best damn woman that I ever seen…”

Nevertheless, the car that was “selling on the streets for $3-5 million” was too small for Johnson. Surprisingly, it’s not only DJ who faced this problem with a Ferrari. Years before the WWE legend owned a Ferrari, NBA star LeBron James purchased an F430 Spider in 2009.

However, King James had to customize it to fit his 6’8 250 lbs in the convertible version of the automobile. Therefore, LeBron faced the same problem as DJ, but he customized it so that he can give it a spin around the town.

The Los Angeles Lakers player brought his F430 Spider $263,000. There is a vast difference in the models of both the stars and the L-Train made it drivable.

The Black Adam star is almost 6’5 and 260 lbs and it is clear he wouldn’t fit in his glamorous LaFerrari. Hence, he drives SUVs or pickup trucks out of his almost $10 million car collection.

Difference between The Rock and King James’ Ferraris

There is a major difference between the Ferrari models of DJ and LeBron James. Ferarris are one of the fastest and most loved brands in the world of automobile and hence the NBA legend brought one.

King James’s customized F430 Spider was designed to fit his 6’8″ frame. It has a V-8 engine, which can go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds and has a top speed of 196mph. Thus, the NBA star made two aspects clear while purchasing the car, i.e. he wanted speed and comfort while driving.

James also owns Ferrari 599 and Ferrari 458 Spider. Moreover, he also owns a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, Mercedes-Benz Maybach 57S, Maybach S650, Porsche 911 Turbo S and Rolls-Royce Phantom.

On the other hand, The Rock’s LaFerrari has several features as well, the first of which is matte white color, a limited model. Moreover, it has 6262CC V12 engine, that accelerates from 0 to 200 KM/H in less than 7 seconds. The LaFerrari can top 350 KM/H.

A fast car like this needs strong brakes and so the former WWE star’s Ferrari has carbon ceramic brakes. Unfortunately, despite all these features, DJ cannot drive it around due to ‘The Brahma Bull’s size.

In many of his movies, DJ has some of the most exquisite cars. Recently, in Red Notice, there was a Mercedes-Benz Grosser 770 vintage car he drove around.

Dwayne Johnson Luxurious Car Collection and Pictures

The most expensive car in the collection of Dwayne Johnson!

The Rock has several luxurious cars in his collection that cost a fortune. As such, the star with an $800 million net worth wouldn’t mind splurging some of his money on a new expensive car.

The 10-time world champion has one particular car that is the most expensive one in his collection. And it is none other than Pagani Huayra, which he purchased at a cost of $2.6 million. Furthermore, the Hollywood star is the 100th owner of a Pagani Huayra, which has a top speed of 230 mph.

People first saw DJ driving a Huayra in the series Ballers. Even though he doesn’t fit in this car, the Ferrari model he owns is out of his love for automobiles. Apart from this, ‘The People’s Champion’ also owns cars like Rolls Royce Wraith, Lamborghini Huracan, Lamborghini Aventador, Ford GT, 1999 Plymouth Prowler, etc.
