Lil Wayne has had an interest in owning fast cars from a young age. From his Boxster purchased as a 19-year old to his newest McLaren gifted on his 39th birthday, let’s take a look at Lil Wayne’s car collection.
Bugatti Veyron
One of the best cars ever built, Bugatti used concepts from scratch to create this stunning masterpiece. Veyron gets its name from Pierre Veyron, a French engineer who won the 1939 Le Mans driving a Bugatti. Lil Wayne was one of the earliest celebrities to own the $1.8 million purchase, which was the fastest car when released with a top speed of 254 MPH, as noted by The Richest.
Aston Martin V12 Vanquish
Aston Martin Vanquish first made jaws drop when featured in the 2002 James Bond movie Die Another Day, and it remains one of the most stylish cars even today. Lil Wayne’s Aston Martin was featured in the music video for his hit song Lollipop. The car has a 5.9-liter engine and a six-speed automatic transmission.
Bentley Mulsanne
Mulsanne was the first car that had an independently designed engine by Bentley. This special car was gifted to Lil Wayne by someone special. Rapper Birdman who helped Wayne create his Young Money Studios gifted the car to him. The luxury car features a 6.75-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Cadillac CTS
Cadillac CTS was one of the earliest cars purchased by the rapper. The second-gen CTS in his garage has Cadillac’s signature luxury interior and exterior. It is packed with a supercharged V8 that provides 556 HP and 551 lb-ft of torque. The future-facing angular design of the car is what makes it stand out from the crowd.
Campagna T-Rex
Another gift in Lil Wayne’s collection is the Campagna T-Rex given to him by Nicki Minaj for his 30th birthday. The small three-wheeled car has a top speed of 150 MPH, and the motorcycle-car hybrid only weighs 1,040 lbs. According to TMZ, Minaj had the words Nicki Loves Tunechi custom painted on the bonnet, and the car cost her a whopping $70,000.
Maybach 62 Landaulet
Lil Wayne loves to drive, but when he likes to sit back and relax after a big concert, he is spotted being driven around in a Maybach 62 Landaulet in Los Angeles. The car has a semi-convertible top for effortless cruising in the California summer. The 62 Landaulet is a rare car to be found these days since not many units of the car were produced by the automaker.
Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe
A car hand-made in England, the two-door convertible has a stunning V12 engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. It can seat up to four passengers, and the Phantom Coupe was heavily publicized during the 2012 London Olympics. It is one of the most expensive Rolls Royce, raking a $443,000 bill.
Porsche Boxster
A 19-year old Lil Wayne had just released two studio albums when he decided to treat himself to a Porsche Boxster. The rapper purchased the car in all-black color and had customized 19-inch wheels to commemorate his age. The 2001 Boxster has a starting price of $13,000, as stated by Cars Guide.

The rapper’s car was once spotted on Miami Beach and when he gave a tour of his garage for an interview. With a starting price of $189,000, Lil Wayne bought the car in a stunning black finish. Equipped with a 6.8-liter V8, the SLS AMG offers incredible performance.
McLaren 720S
Lil Wayne celebrated his 38th birthday in style. Mack Maine, the President of his record label, gifted him a McLaren 720S for his birthday. The 720S was modified with a paint job that makes the car transition from black in the day to purple at night. The modifications cost an additional $85,000, and the total cost of the car is $400,000, as noted by High Snobiety. It comes with a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 that provides an output of 710 HP and 568 lb-ft of torque and reaches 0 to 60 MPH in just 2.7 seconds.
Lil Wayne’s garage boasts a collection full of personal purchases and gifts from people close to him.
