Lewis Hamilton doesn’t just dominate on the track—his car collection is just as impressive as his record-breaking F1 career. With seven world championships under his belt, it’s no surprise that his garage is packed with some of the rarest, fastest, and most powerful machines ever built. From cutting-edge hypercars to classic American muscle, Hamilton’s taste in cars reflects both his love for speed and his appreciation for automotive history. Some of his rides are worth millions, while others are pure passion projects. Whether it’s a Formula 1-inspired Mercedes-AMG ONE or a perfectly preserved ’66 Shelby Cobra, his collection proves that when it comes to cars, he only settles for the best.

Unveiled in 2017, this hypercar packs the same turbocharged V6 hybrid power unit found in the 2016 Mercedes F1 car, making it one of the most extreme road cars ever built. The hybrid setup produces a staggering 1,049 horsepower, with 556 coming from the engine alone. The rest is supplied by advanced electric motors, including a 121-horsepower MGU-H, a 161-horsepower MGU-K, and twin front-axle motors delivering another 322 horsepower. It’s as close as you can get to driving an F1 car without putting on a race suit. Pagani Zonda 760 LH Image Credit: Calreyn88, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons. Hamilton’s Pagani Zonda 760 LH was one of the most special cars in his collection—until he decided to part ways with it. Custom-built for him, the “LH” badging made it clear that this was no ordinary Zonda. Under the hood sat a naturally aspirated 7.3-liter V12 producing 760 horsepower, all wrapped in a stunning purple exterior. Sadly, after Hamilton sold it, the car met an unfortunate fate. Its next owner, billionaire Mark Radcliffe, crashed it in a tunnel in Wales, leaving the once-pristine supercar severely damaged. It’s a painful reminder that even the most exclusive machines aren’t immune to bad luck. Mercedes-AMG SLS Black Image Credit: Calreyn88, CC BY 4.0, Wikimedia Commons. With Hamilton’s long history with Mercedes, it’s no surprise that his garage features multiple models from the brand. One standout is the Mercedes-AMG SLS Black, which he picked up in 2013 after joining the Mercedes F1 team. Even after more than a decade, the SLS Black is still an absolute weapon. Its 6.2-liter V8 cranks out 622 horsepower, launching it from 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. The gullwing doors and aggressive stance make it one of the most recognizable Mercedes sports cars ever, proving that some designs just don’t age.

With his move to Scuderia Ferrari in 2025, his garage choice suddenly makes even more sense. And what better way to represent Maranello than with a LaFerrari? As part of the “holy trinity” of hypercars—alongside the McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder—the LaFerrari blends a screaming 6.3-liter V12 with an electric motor for a total of 950 horsepower. Even years after its debut, it remains one of the most exciting Ferraris ever built, and it’s no surprise Hamilton owns one.

Another standout is the SF90 Stradale, a plug-in hybrid supercar that pushes the limits of modern performance. It’s a clear example of how Ferrari continues to blend cutting-edge tech with raw power. Under the hood is a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 769 horsepower, but the magic happens when you add in the electric motors. With an extra 217 horsepower from the hybrid system, the SF90 cranks out a total of 986 horsepower. It’s brutally fast and, arguably, one of the best Ferraris of the modern era. 1966 AC Shelby Cobra 427 Image Credit: Sicnag, CC BY 2.0, Wikimedia Commons. Hamilton’s love for classic cars is just as strong as his passion for modern hypercars, and one of the crown jewels in his collection is a 1966 AC Shelby Cobra 427. He keeps it in pristine condition, rarely driving it to ensure it remains as close to perfect as possible. Under the hood, you’ll find a 7.0-liter Ford V8 pushing out 425 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque. Hamilton actually owns two Cobras—a ’66 and a ’67—and prefers to drive the latter, telling GQ in 2022, “I got a second one soon after, a ’67 427, which I actually use more because I want to keep the ’66 one perfect.” 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Image Credit: sv1ambo, via Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 2.0 When it comes to American muscle, Hamilton doesn’t hold back. His collection includes a 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, one of the most sought-after pony cars ever built. It’s got the looks, the power, and the history to back up its legendary status. Hamilton bought the car in 2011, inspired by the Mustang driven by Steve McQueen in Bullitt. The price? At least $1 million—making it one of the most valuable Shelby Mustangs in the world. It’s a proper throwback to the golden era of muscle cars, and you can bet Hamilton enjoys every second behind the wheel. McLaren P1 Image Credit: Dinkun Chen, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons. Even though Hamilton left McLaren for Mercedes, he still has a deep connection with the brand. That’s why it’s no surprise that he owns a McLaren P1, one of the most groundbreaking hypercars of its time. Part of the legendary “holy trinity” of hybrid hypercars, the P1 debuted in 2013 and set new standards for performance. Powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 and an electric motor, it cranks out 903 horsepower. With its lightweight chassis and race-inspired aerodynamics, it’s one of the most extreme road cars ever built. McLaren F1 Image Credit: Chelsea Jay, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons. If there’s one car in Hamilton’s collection that stands above the rest, it’s his McLaren F1. This isn’t just any F1, either—it’s chassis #44, matching his iconic race number. Hamilton picked it up in 2017 for a cool $15.6 million, making it one of the most valuable supercars on the planet. The McLaren F1 is powered by a 6.1-liter BMW V12 making 618 horsepower, and it features a six-speed manual transmission and a center-mounted driver’s seat. Even decades after its release, it’s still considered one of the greatest road cars ever made. With only 106 ever built, owning one is like having a piece of automotive history. Mercedes-AMG EQS Image Credit: Calreyn88, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons. Hamilton has made it clear that he’s passionate about sustainability, so it’s no surprise that he has an EV in his collection. The Mercedes-AMG EQS sedan is his go-to electric car, combining luxury with high performance while helping reduce his carbon footprint. He’s been vocal about his efforts to drive electric as much as possible, even while competing in a sport known for burning fuel. With Formula 1 pushing for net-zero emissions by 2030, Hamilton’s choice to embrace EVs aligns perfectly with the future of motorsport. It’s not just about speed anymore—it’s about responsibility.
