These 20 NHL Players Drive the Sickest Cars Ever!

Regardless of your upbringing, hockey can be an exciting game to watch live or on TV. It's easy, fast, messy and sometimes bloody; You have probably seen hockey players bleeding from their eyes - this is called selflessness.

With the recent inclusion of the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2017-2018 NHL season. A total of 31 teams will play. Despite the fact that the season just started in October, and the end of the season is still far away, every team will dream of the Stanley Cup.

Some of the players are rookies who have just played their first game in the NHL, while others are seasoned veterans. While newbies can just focus on the game, others have signed enough contracts to venture into other aspects of life on the side - luxury vacations, real estate, car collections and so on.

For example, Henrik Lundqvist is not only a professional hockey player, but also a car and wardrobe lover; he was named Gotham's Most Stylish Athlete at the 2013 New York Style Awards and owns underwear company Bread and Boxer. Anze Kopitar owns two neighboring $10 million properties near the Pacific Ocean. Dion Faneuf owns a house on Prince Edward Island - in this grandiose estate, he married Canadian actress Elisha Cuthbert.

And some of the players are mostly car enthusiasts and collectors; some people own a family, and some have more than three times as much. Let's take a look at the 20 NHL players who drive the sickest cars:

20 Stephen Stamkos — Fisker Karma Hybrid

Designed by Danish car enthusiast Henrik Fisker, the Fisker Karma Hybrid looks tantalizing not only on the outside, but also on the inside. This plug-in hybrid beauty is powered by a 2-liter 16-valve engine and two 260-hp motors. and torque of 260 lb-ft. Despite the relatively low power, it still hits 60 mph from standstill in 5.9 seconds and tops out at 125 mph. As a hybrid, it delivers 52 mpg city and highway equivalent fuel economy when running on battery power; petrol mode gives you 20 mpg. With a price hovering above the early six figures, this car - front to back and side up - pleases not only aesthetic lovers, but also your wallet. Since the Fisker Karma is currently out of production, Steven Stamkos made the right choice to buy this car early.

19 Sidney Crosby - Tesla

Sid Kid also owns Tesla. While the Range Rover Sport could give it the space it needs, the Tesla offers a nice, well-built interior. Although all Tesla models at some point merge together - and this is not at all a criticism of Tesla; Tesla's appearance still looks very brash and seductive - I have learned not to succumb to a modest appearance. Considering these are environmentally friendly cars, the $100,000 price tag is not that high for an above average person, let alone a famous hockey player. This is especially true given that these $100,000 Teslas can also go from 3.0 to 0 mph in less than 60 seconds, putting some of the so-called "sports cars" to shame. Although it is quite difficult to identify Crosby's Tesla model, he could not go wrong with any of Tesla's models.

18 Tyler Seguin - Maserati GranTurismo S

Tyler Seguin's four-seat, two-door Maserati GranTurismo S coupe, finished in matt black, is a sportier version of the original, its most refined version. While he also owns a Jeep Wrangler with its spotlight and grille embellishments, only the Maserati (and one more!) made the list, with a base price of $132,000, the GranTurismo S looks sporty and attractive; with an 4.7-liter V8 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission that develops about 433 hp. Engine sound is commendable; nimble beauty roars beautifully. Compared to GranTurismo, the S version is better and more efficient, exactly what Tyler Seguin of the Dallas Stars wants.

17 Alexey Ovechkin — Mercedes S65 AMG

According to an interview with russianmachineneverbreaks.com, Alex Ovechkin has seven cars in the US and Russia. His parents still don't understand why he needs so many cars, and when asked to choose a favorite, he couldn't. For him, this would mean insulting the remaining cars. But one thing we know for sure: he likes powerful cars, regardless of the model and brand. A few years ago, he had a matte blue 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL'65 AMG. In 2016, Ovechkin pulled up next to a fan wearing an Ovechkin T-shirt in his white Mercedes S65 AMG, according to Chris Gordon. A fan missed Ovechkin as well as a $225,000+ beauty that develops 621 hp. and 738 lb-ft of torque capable of reaching 60-4 mph in about XNUMX seconds.

16 Evgeni Malkin - Porsche 911 Turbo

The Russian hockey player plays center and is the alternate captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins. He seems to like his convertible Porsche 911 Turbo, which looks enticing with a white body, black roof and wheels. It's also a convertible, so he can always drop the top and ride in the sun whenever his heart desires. It also had a vintage duck tail spoiler added to the 911 Turbo. With a base price of $160,000, the car has additional and optional luxuries that could bring the price up to $200,000. The Porsche 911 Turbo looks very sporty overall and the ride quality is excellent as usual; even a 2010 Porsche has a 0 to 60 mph time of less than four seconds. Depending on his mood, Malkin can drive either a Turbo or a Cayenne for practice.

15 Ryan Getzlaf - Mercedes-Benz S63

Getzlaf's "father side" drives a Mercedes-Benz S63. After getting married in 2010, he has three children and travels with them in the S63. The price of the Mercedes S63 ranges from $145,000 to $250,000 to $63. Although the year of his S2010 is unknown, even the 63 year old S6.2 is equipped with a 8-liter V518 engine capable of producing 465 hp. and 63 lb-ft of torque. Traveling with his kids, he probably doesn't unleash the full fury of that powerful engine. While the Mercedes-Benz SXNUMX's fuel economy may be low compared to other cars on this list, it's the right car for the classy family man. But don't be fooled just because he drives a Mercedes: he owned a Lamborghini Gallardo in the past, and keep reading to find out what he owns now!

14 Vincent Lecavalier - Ferrari 360 Spider

This is another one of those players who just retired in 2016 but has a couple of cool cars. Selected first overall by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft, his NHL career spanned nearly 28 years. Although he owns a Hummer H2, only the Ferrari 360 Spider made the list. Let's look at it. The Spider gained about 130 pounds in weight due to the aluminum construction, making the convertible a reality; but the convertible retains the interior of the coupe. The 3.6-liter V8 engine is clearly visible through the transparent body. With a curved waistline, the car looks amazing when the top is down. In fact, the roof-folding mechanism was so perfect and mechanical that it was dubbed "an amazing 20-second mechanical symphony." Anyway, it's just a timeless car.

13 Tyler Seguin - Mercedes-Benz G-Class AMG

Tyler Seguin's career in the NHL began when he was drafted 130,000nd overall by the Boston Bruins. He currently plays center as an alternate captain for the Dallas Stars. While you've probably already seen a $218,000+ Maserati, let's take a look at its Mercedes-Benz G-Class AMG. The midsize heavy duty luxury SUV looks very muscular and powerful. While the Maserati was meant to give it a sporty look, this one brings out its inner beast with tinted windows and a matte black finish. On the other hand, the interior is comfortable and affordable. While the base price of such a car is around $300,000, according to a Tumblr post, the Seguin costs around $25. Whatever the price, the XNUMX-year-old football player at the beginning of his career earns enough money to afford such a luxury.

12 Henrik Lundqvist - Bentley Continental GTC Supersports 2010

New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist is a great player both in the arena and among women. However, his portfolio is not limited to an Olympic gold medalist or some of the best records - he is also a car enthusiast, and a good one. Although that is no longer the case, the GTC Supersports was the fastest production 2010 Bentley with a top speed of 204.4 mph and a 3.7 to 0 mph time of less than 60 seconds. It generated 621 hp. and 590 lb-ft of torque. The 2010 GTC SuperSports was fitted with ZF's 6HP26A Tiptronic automatic system, which reduced shift times by 50%. Lundqvist also tinted the taillights and windows, giving the beast an even more aggressive look. Car price? North of $270,000.

11 Teemu Selanne - 2009 Ferrari F430 Scuderia

Although he officially retired in 2014, Teemu Selanne's name appears on this list because he has more cars than the number of seasons he played in the NHL, and he played 21 seasons. The F430 Scuderia is just one of 23 cars owned by the 47-year-old in the US and Finland combined. The Scuderia is an improved version of the F430 that weighs 220 pounds less. Scuderia's 4.3-liter V8 engine can produce up to 500 hp. and 347 lb-ft of torque, reaching a top speed of 198 mph. For a retired hockey player, $260,000 is a drop in the ocean. In an interview with Teknavi Media, he stated that there was nothing more he could ask for from the Ferrari F430 Scuderia.

10 Ryan Getzlaf - Ferrari 458 Italia

Told you we'd be back with Ryan Getzlaf. While he sold his Lamborghini Gallardo at auction for around $90,000, his sporty side bought a Ferrari 458 Italia. The 458 Italia is the successor to the F4300. (The 458 itself was replaced in 488 at 2015.) The two-seater coupe not only has an innovative body with beautifully elongated headlights and side curves, but also an extravagant interior. With an 4.5-liter V8 engine, it produces 570 hp. and about 400 lb-ft of torque, reaching 60 mph in about 3.4 seconds after rest. It also has a top speed of 202 mph and a whopping $257,000 starting price. While the Benz X63 was meant to travel with the family, this one is probably just for him.

9 Henrik Lundqvist - Lamborghini Gallardo

You've already seen that Lundqvist owns a Bentley Continental GTC Supersports, so of course Lamborghini Gallardo was also going to add his name to that list. Powered by a 5.2-liter V10 engine, the two-seater sports car develops 552 hp. its acceleration time from 400 to 202 mph is less than 0 seconds. Lundqvist is often seen driving a Gallardo to work. Since he was bored with black, he painted it matte grey; The cost of Gallardo ranges from 60 3.5 to 181,000 241,000 dollars.

8 PC Subban is a Bugatti Veyron

The Nashville Predators guard, at 72, signed an eight-year, 2014 million dollar contract. A year or so later, he announced his intention to raise $10 million for the Montreal Children's Hospital by 2022. As he drove his rather modest 2016 Ford Explorer to this charity event, he didn't forget how to live like a successful athlete. He owns a black and cherry Bugatti Veyron, which is worth about $2.25 million. The Bugatti Veyron produces a whopping 1,200 hp. and 1,106 lb-ft of torque! Before the advent of the Bugatti Chiron, the Veyron was the fastest street car in the world, reaching an average top speed of 254.04 mph. (According to Wikipedia.org, the Venom GT was 2.63 mph faster, but this was only measured in one direction and thus was not officially recognized.)

7 Sidney Crosby - Range Rover Sport

Pittsburgh Penguins captain, also known as "Next", Crosby, was selected first overall by the Penguins. Playing center, he is arguably one of the best players in NHL history. While others have more exotic vehicles, its Range Rover Sport luxury midsize SUV is still worth a look. Although it's not a Bentley Bentayga, its 5-litre V8 engine can still put out 540bhp. - enough power to accelerate the car to 60 miles per hour in just 4.5 seconds. The Range Rover Sport has good fuel economy overall (or at least better than the Bentayga), and the spacious interior allows it to do a lot more than the other cars on this list could. He once had a Stanley Cup shotgun in his Range Rover Sport.

6 Artemy Panarin — Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT

Columbus Blue Jackets winger Artemi Panarin has extended his contract by two years for $6 million a year. Panarin, nicknamed "Bread Man" because his last name sounds similar to Paner's Bread, remains humble with his Jeep Grand Cherokee. Its cost is relatively cheap - only about $65,000. Its features include an 6.8-litre V8 engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with manual shifting. The engine can produce 475 hp. and accelerates the 5,300-pound SUV from 0 to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds. This is impressive - and exactly what Panarin needs if he ever needs to transport his own gear and equipment to the arena, and maybe even the Stanley Cup. While he may be focused on his career at the moment, next time he will be able to choose from a wide range of cars.

5 Tuukka Rusk — BMW 525d

Selected 21st overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs, he is currently the goaltender for the Boston Bruins. According to legendvideos.com, he seems to have a penchant for German cars, especially BMWs; he drives a black BMW 525d around Boston. The BMW 525d has a classic timeless BMW exterior and interior for amazing performance, flexibility and reliability. While not as impressive as some of the others on this list, the engine under the hood can generate 218 hp. and accelerate the car from 0 to 60 mph in less than 7 seconds. Perhaps for a player signed to an eight-year, $56 million contract with the Bruins, this car isn't as flashy as some of the others here. But it's still something, BMW, that is.

4 Nick Bonino - 2010 Jaguar XF

Signed to a four-year, $16.4 million contract, Nick Bonino plays center for the Nashville Predators. Prior to that, he played for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Prior to that, he was traded several times to different teams. His automotive history is also somewhat similar.

While not as flashy as some of the ones listed here, the XF is still a powerful luxury sedan. Its 4.2-liter V8 engine develops 480 horsepower. The interior exudes a sporty flavor that makes it desirable for the driver, while fuel economy of 380 mpg in the city and 60 mpg make it bearable on the wallet.

3 Evgeni Malkin — Porsche Cayenne 2013

With an average combined fuel economy of 18 mph and a top speed of 170 mph, motortrend.com gave it a 4/5.

After retiring, he is thinking about collecting vintage cars, as he has always had a passion for cars since childhood.

2 Corey Schneider - Audi A7 3.0 Quattro

Corey Schneider signed a seven-year, $42 million contract as a goaltender for the New Jersey Devils. Although he had an Audi A7 3.0 Quattro back in 2012, as Derek Jory detailed in A Day with Schneider, with two children born between 2015 and 2017, the Audi seems like the perfect fit for him. And this. Audi is known to be very favorable in the market, offering a package full of luxury, performance and economy. The Audi A7 entered the market in 2010, and the A7 3.0 Quattro, equipped with an automatic transmission and Quattro all-wheel drive, develops 310 hp. and 325 lb-ft of torque, reaching a top speed of 155 mph.

The price of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz S-Class is also reasonable, starting at $91,000 and going up to the height of the imagination.
