Travis Rice | Toyota Tacoma

I’ve seen pictures of Travis Rice driving his bog standard red Toyota 4X4 before, and since Toyota approached him and his DC Shoes teammates, Iikka Backstrom and Devun Walsh to create an “ultimate Toyota Tacoma”, Rice didn’t have to think about his answer.

Rice is the current “Best Male in Action Sports” and a decorated X Games snowboarder, even appearing in the hit film, Art of Flight. All the aspects of an ultimate 4X4 came naturally to the DC Shoes team and Travis Rice finally unveiled his creation at the 2013 SEMA car show. Whether he needs to camp, kick up some snow, plow his neighbor’s drive or even take a snow mobile out for some octane fun, Rice’s Tacoma caters for all.

Not really my thing but I appreciate the insight and concept to meet the needs of the snow junkie. I also dig the contrasting black wheels against the white white body.

Ric Flair – Chevrolet Camaro

The highly decorated wrestler and 40 year legend, Ric Flair has returned to WWE! If it wasn’t for the likes of this icon and his amazing ring performances, current stars like John Cena, Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock probably wouldn’t be around today.

If a true legend needs transportation, only a legend will do. Nothing says flair and legend like a Chevy Camaro. With it’s muscular, flared arches, its big exhausts and matching white rims, only someone with a certain flair (sorry) could pull this look off.

Luis Suarez | BMW X5 Black Edition

Being British means I know this fellow from our Premiership football league as a striker for Liverpool. In a few weeks, us England fans will be afraid of Luis Suarez as we face his Uruguay side in the first round. Football comes naturally to the south American sides and this guys also knows the English tactics.

For a player possessing bags of skill, talent and flare, I expected something a little more flamboyant than a BMW X5… okay, he can have (begrudgingly) an extra point for the Black Edition option.

Batista | Lamborghini Murcielago

Dave Batista has many tricks in his bag, from acting, fighting as a mixed martial artist, and being signed to the WWE as a pro wrestler. The keen body builder is returning from his exile from the WWE for the final edition of Raw before the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. He is also the first star confirmed to be in the Royal Rumble, an event he won in 2005 .

A white Lambo with chrome split rims suits his character perfectly.

Antonio Silva | Maserati Quattroporte

António “Bigfoot” Silva is a Brazilian mixed martial artist who fights as a Heavyweight in the UFC. His formidable size has seen him take both the EliteXC Heavyweight title as well as the Cage Rage World Heavyweight title and the Cage Warriors Super Heavyweight title.

Maybe if Bigfoot wasn’t 6′ 4″ and 264-lbs he may have gone for the Maserati Granturismo, or possibly a Ferrari, but since his Quattroporte is the lighter 2013 model, boasting the new 2013 3.8-litre bi-turbo 523-bhp V8, the UFC fighter’s massive frame can hit 60-mph in 4.6 seconds. 

The Quattroporte doesn’t look great in red and the wheels don’t exactly compliment it either; however, the engine and the noise this machine makes pulls back an extra mark out of ten.

Quinton “Rampage” Jackson | Lincoln Continental

When the former UFC light heavyweight champion isn’t crashing his Audi R8, Rampage can jump in his slammed Lincoln Continental, hang an arm over the window and just cruise.

As you can see from the picture, Rampage likes the color black, and judging from his eclectic collection, he’s put some thought into covering all the automotive bases: Off Road, Track, Cruising, Looking Bad Ass.

Maybe I’m being a little biased as I love old school cars, particularly when they are slammed and black, but I score this car high. The purists will hate it, detest those rims, but for the reason it was purchased, it does the job perfectly.

Greyson Chance | 1966 Ford Mustang

Greyson Chance is an pop rocksinger, songwriter, pianist who made a name for himself in 2010 by performing Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” at a music festival. The 51-million YouTube views created a doorway and he made and appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show. Chance’s debut album, Hold On ‘Til the Night was released in 2011, helping him boost his YouTube hits to over 14-million views.

This 16-year-old is known for having a passion for the classic Mustang, and after finding his dream car, he’s bought one.

The 1966 ‘Stang features a 200ci six-cylinder Challenger engine under the hood. Boasting 300 horses, the engine transfers its power through a three speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission.

The kid has even given her a name – “Moses”

I like the fact a teen has a passion for the classic, particularly this modest example. You can’t really go wrong with a Mustang, but if you’re going for that retro look (notice the rusty wing?), forget the chrome rims.

Andy Murray | Aston Martin Vanquish

Andy Murray is a Scottish tennis star, the first Brit to win Wimbledon in over 100 years.  In the BBC’s documentary: The Man Behind the Racquet, Murray said he has already owned a Ferrari F430, an Aston Martin and a Jaguar XKR. The reason he gave for selling his Ferrari was that he “felt like a prat” – the Italian car obviously possesses too much flair for the Scot.

The British number 1 has since replaced the F430 with this stylish yet understated Aston Martin Vanquish.

Maria Sharapova | Porsche 911 Carrera

Maria Sharapova is a Russian tennis star with four grand slam titles under her belt. She has taken Wimbledon, the French Open, the US Open and the Australian Open. Not only a talented player, this leggy 6′ 2″ stunner has modelled for many of her endorsements, and her looks have seen her appear on the cover of Gent’s magazines and the highly-acclaimed swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated.

Sharapova is known for liking the 911 Carrera. In fact, she owns more than one, but it’s this white model she is frequently spotted driving. The Russian beauty took the $130,000 car after winning the 2012 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix.

Matthew Mahonaughey | Chevrolet Camaro Z28

Matthew McConaughey is lucky enough to get the cool roles and the cool cars to match. When he’s not in his SUVs or working out, McConaughey likes to keep it old school. Ever since he was a teen, the toned star has been in love with and drooled over a 1981 Chevy Camaro. His dreams came true when his partner, Camilla, tracked one down and gifted him one.

The Z28 has a 5.7L, V8 under the hood, and despite being average compared to modern cars, it was way ahead of its time with power windows, power locks and cruise control. What better color for a V8 muscle car than black?
