LeBron James' 10 Favorite Cars (And 9 He Bought And Completely Forgot)

LeBron James has always been known for being the best at what he does and demanding the best from those around him. And it's the same with his cars. LeBron owns some of the best cars in the world, and the cars he buys that don't perform well end up on the "buy it and forget it" list.

King made his fortune playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Miami Heat. With 3 NBA championships under his belt, he has amassed over $400 million. In turn, the best rides in the world are in his garage. Some of these trips, however, are just about average. LeBron owns a Bentley and a Rolls Royce, as well as cars like the Jeep Wrangler and Kia K900.

LeBron has been the epitome of the best for years, and his car collection is doing the same. LeBron's favorite cars in his garage are some of our favorite cars. Cars that LeBron "bought and forgot" are often high in value but not suitable for daily driving, forcing him to drive other supercars in his garage. For example, the Bentley Continental GT and Dodge Challenger get about 14-15 mpg. Which one would you prefer to drive? It's not hard to believe that LeBron is forgetting some of these cars when you consider the supercars that sit in his immaculate garage.

19 Favorite: Ferrari F430 Spyder

LeBron is showing us his humble side by getting his hands on this unassuming Ferrari. The power rating may not impress many, as the car is powered by a V8 engine (not the usual Ferrari V12). However, the car is so finely tuned that it can handle the best road tracks. LeBron is very bragging about this car, as he took a lot of photos with it. Without a doubt, this is one of LeBron's favorite cars. Why not? Yahoo reports that the Ferrari 430 accelerates to 0 km/h in 60 seconds. That's impressive considering it makes just over 3.5 horsepower. This is a Ferrari at its best.

18 Favorite: Porsche 911 Turbo S

The Porsche 911 Turbo S is the best the Porsche brand has to offer. There are many pictures of LeBron driving this car so we know this is one of his favorite pictures. The 911 Turbo S costs a whopping $161,800, while other Porsches average around $60-80k. He completes 0-60 in a dizzying 2.9 seconds. Simply put, this is no ordinary Porsche; it's a first-class Porsche. According to Complex, LeBron loves Porsche cars so much that he bought a Porsche Panamera for his mother, which isn't a bad choice considering the super sedan is a fan favorite.

17 Favorite: Lamborghini Aventador.

We know why the Lamborghini Aventador is one of LeBron's favorite cars. First, it's a Lamborghini. However, on top of that, Autoblog reports that LeBron even designed the sneakers to match the color of his Lambo. The Aventador is arguably the fastest Lamborghini ever built, as the SVJ trim is the fastest version of a supercar ever to cruise the Nürburgring. With over 720 horsepower, this bad guy has no problem keeping up with the best supercars on the market. LeBron wrapped this Lambo in the same color as his sneakers in honor of Nike's release of his new sneakers.

16 Favorite: Maybach 57S

The Maybach 57 S is a super Benz worth over $370,000. LeBron loves this car and even put a KING OF OH license plate on this amazing car. This is no ordinary luxury car. It puts out over 600 horsepower and only gets 10 mpg, according to Google. Anyone who drives this Maybach has to do it for the looks, otherwise they just love the Mercedes. Early criticism of the car did not stop Maybach's 57 purchases from being strong. After all, we can understand why LeBron bought this. This is a car worthy of the best, or rather, the king.

15 Favorite: Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG

LeBron has the money to buy the best Mercedes-Benz in the world. Forget about his two Maybachs for a second and focus on this original Benz. The S 0 AMG is the absolute best that Mercedes has to offer besides the Maybach. What makes this car special is the original Benz feel that Maybach can't offer and LeBron should have had one in his garage. According to Mercedes-Benz USA, this Benz has a bi-turbo engine with over 63 horsepower. He completes 600-0 in 60 seconds. This is unbelievable for a large-sized luxury car.

14 Favorite: Rolls-Royce Phantom

The Rolls-Royce Phantom is arguably the best car in the world since the Bugatti Veyron, so it's only right that it belongs to LeBron James. The Huffington Post reports that the Phantom was a gift to LeBron from Shaq. This is a great gift as the Phantom has everything a car has to offer. This is not only the most luxurious of all cars, but also a speed demon. This supercar develops 563 horsepower and is equipped with an incredible V12 engine. This is a first-class car and its reputation is known throughout the automotive world.

13 Favorite: Ferrari 599

This is another LeBron James Ferrari. According to Complex, LeBron bought a Ferrari 599 from his favorite car dealer, which is Unique Autoshops. LeBron is showing us his love for Ferrari as he owns three cars from a supercar distributor. However, this Ferrari is perfect for books. It costs over $300,000 and offers the best that Ferrari has to offer. With over 600 horsepower, the 6.0-liter V12 Ferrari 599 hits 0 mph in an incredible 60 seconds, leaving behind all luxury cars in its price range. Simply put, this is a stock 3.2 second machine.

12 Favorite: Mercedes-Maybach S600

Maybach S600 is the ultimate Mercedes-Benz. This is one of the greatest Mercedes-Benz vehicles ever made. Forget LeBron for a second; this is the favorite car of many, many people. All over the internet you will find quotes like "insanely luxurious" or "the most luxurious car" and there is a very good reason for that. This $200,000 Super Benz is one of the top luxury cars in the world and the reviews confirm it. The car handles well too. According to Car and Driver, the Maybach S600 is shorter than the Maybach 57S for just one reason: better maneuverability. Either way, LeBron owns both of them.

11 Favorite: Bentley Continental GT

The Bentley Continental GT, like the Rolls-Royce Phantom, is one of the greatest cars in the world and fits perfectly in a royal garage. The Continental GT is the epitome of luxury supercars and has a starting price of over $218,000, according to Car and Driver. Not only does it provide every possible luxury need a car has to offer, but it also boasts up to 500 horsepower. The most impressive thing about this car is the gas mileage. While most luxury supercars only get 10-12mpg, we know LeBron enjoys the 24-XNUMXmpg on the highway that the Continental GT offers.

10 Favorite: Ferrari 458

We know LeBron loves his Ferraris, but how is this one different from his other two supercars? According to Super Cars Corner, LeBron drives a Ferrari 458 on a daily basis. This Ferrari color is also rare and slightly darker than regular Ferrari red. This supercar from Italy is equipped with a 597-horsepower 4.5-liter V8 engine. The smaller engine makes it slightly better on gas mileage, which in turn makes it a viable choice for the daily driver. The mid-mounted engine also provides more storage space for the daily errands the king has to run.

9 Forgotten: Jeep Wrangler Rubicon

The Jeep is not the ideal vehicle for a star, let alone a basketball king. While the Wrangler Rubicon is one of Jeep's best vehicles, it's still not enough to make it into LeBron's top line for daily commuting. According to RepairPal, Wrangler vehicles are known for their exhaust and emissions problems. Such problems lead to loud ticking sounds and handling problems. For someone who drives two Maybachs and three Ferraris, LeBron has better options than this rare Jeep product. To be fair, the Rubicon is the highest-end Jeep Wrangler ever, which is probably why LeBron bought it.

8 Forgotten: 1975 Chevrolet Impala

via carswithmuscles.com

The 1969 Impala was a legend, but the 1975 Impala wasn't as memorable. Unlike its older counterpart, the 1975 Impala doesn't have a unique look. It looks exactly like any other mid-1970s car. The 1975 Impala is just as open to modifications as the 1969 Impala, but just doesn't feel like a 1969 urban legend. Car gurus tell us that the 1975 Chevy Impala handles poorly, especially in wet terrain, making this old classic an unlikely choice for a daily driver on royal rides.

7 Forgotten: Dodge Challenger SRT

When the Dodge Challenger was brought back, many fans were excited. However, it was clear that the new version would not match the old version. In fact, it's almost comical, because the new version has a retro-styled body. To put things in perspective, the $50,000 Dodge product is spending the same miles per gallon as some of LeBron's $300,000 cars. In accordance with the consumption of gasoline, it would make less sense to drive this car more often. According to Repair Pal, the Challenger SRT makes a hissing sound when taxiing at low speeds, which can annoy any would-be drivers.

6 Forgotten: Range Rover HSE

The Range Rover HSE looks good on paper, but the turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine only puts out about 254 horsepower. That power is not only low for a turbocharged V6, but too low for a $95,000 midsize SUV. Don't be fooled by price or branding, as other Range Rover models turn out to be better than the HSE. However, according to Jalopnik, the Range Rover has an overall terrible reputation for reliability and mechanical stability. As such, the Range Rover requires mechanical work quite often, making it a forgotten car in an otherwise unforgettable garage.

5 Forgotten: Hummer H2

The Hummer H2 was LeBron's first car. The car sparked rumors that LeBron received it as a gift from college or NBA prospects, which would have been against the rules. It is illegal for a basketball player to receive gifts from future employers or institutions. However, LeBron stated that the car was a gift from his mother for his 18th birthday. Hummer H2 is also not the best car in the world. According to Repair Pal, the H2 has a fuel pump that can fail. In turn, this leads to the fact that the engine stalls or does not start. LeBron's H2 car was put up for auction in 2018.

4 Forgotten: Kia K900

Kia is not quite fit for a king. Still, thanks to Kia's backing, LeBron drives a Kia K900 - well, at least owns one of them. Since 2014, Twitter has reported 30,000 tweets questioning whether LeBron James actually drives a K900. USA Today reports that Richard Jefferson, a former teammate, apparently snapped footage of LeBron driving a Kia K900 on his Snapchat, debunking the speculation that the car is locked in his garage and collecting dust. K900 is not a bad car; its MSRP is over $49,000 and is one of the best vehicles Kia has to offer.

3 Forgotten: BMW 760 Lee

The BMW 760 Li is an overpriced luxury sedan with a powerful engine. Perhaps this is just BMW's attempt to match the Bentley Continental GT or Rolls-Royce Phantom with a similar, big-engined super-luxury car. The car is a flop as Repair Pal reports that it received a 2.8 out of 5 rating from consumers. First, the car requires about $3-4k a year in maintenance. No wonder LeBron put the car up for sale in 2014. Especially given the fact that LeBron already has a more advanced Rolls-Royce Phantom in his garage.

2 Forgotten: Hummer H1

Hummer H1 is almost a military vehicle. The only use of military force LeBron needed was the Draymond Green scandal in Game 5 of the NBA 2016 Finals. This car is definitely not ideal for daily driving, as the H1 puts out a measly 9 mpg. The only thing this car offers is extra cargo and passenger space. The Hummer H1 comes with the infamous 6.5 liter GM V8 turbo diesel engine. Why was this engine notorious? According to Jalopnik, this engine is notorious for having a cracked No. XNUMX cylinder. The only solution to this problem is to replace the engine.

1 Forgotten: Chevrolet Camaro SS

The Camaro SS has an impeccable and legendary reputation that has even caught the attention of LeBron James. The new generation Camaro is a good car, but it has to compete with the Mustang and Challenger, which is why LeBron has the Challenger SRT. Torque News reports that this attraction constantly fogs up while driving. The Camaro has always been known for competing with the Mustang over the years, however it's clear that the Camaro couldn't match the Mustang this time around. The new generation Mustang has been taken to the next level with Shelby, SVT and Saleen versions.
