Jonathan Ericsson | Audi S6

Jonathan Ericsson is an ice hockey defenceman for the NHL’s Detroit Red Wings. He is also playing for his country (Sweden) in Sochi, Russia for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games.

Ericsson was snapped about to climb into his Audi S6. The understated German powerhouse is powered by a 4.0L DOHC twin-turbo V8 engine, which produces 420-bhp and 405 lb-ft of torque.

Carmelo Anthony | Lincoln Continental

Carmelo Anthony, AKA “Melo” is a small forward for the New York Knicks of the NBA. The 29-year-old has a penchant for retro cars and he recently sold a 1971 Chevelle for charity. He is pictured here with his tastefully modified 1964 Lincoln Continental.

Apart from the wire rims and cool blue paint, the guys at Unique Autosports installed two Alpine MRD-M1001 amps, two 12-inch Alpine SWR-1221D woofers, and a custom subwoofer box complete with hardwood and a basketball.

James “Bubba” Stewart | Lamborghini Gallardo Supperleggera

When he’s not impersonating police officers by deploying the blues and twos on his friend’s Toyota Tundra, this motocross and X Games star can be found within the pages of  Rolling StoneMaxim and GQ Magazine, and he even stars in the reality show “Bubba’s World”

When Bubba requires four wheels, he can choose between either his white Audi R8 or his yellow Lamborghini Gallardo Supperleggera.

That’s actually quite a tough choice, but I think I’d go with the Lambo.

Geoff Rowley | 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback

Co-owner of Flip Skateboards and pro skater, Geoff Rowley has been tearing up the skate scene for over two decades. The British 37-year-old resides in California, and in 2000 he received Thrasher Magazine’s prestigious “Skater Of The Year” award.

American culture and lifestyle has obviously rubbed off on Rowley as he owns this gorgeous 1968 Mustang Fastback. You can’t beat a classic, especially something as iconic as the Mustang Fastback.

Tony Hawk | Hennessey SRT 600

 

This guy needs no introduction whatsoever. “Tony” and “Hawk” are the only two words needed. This guy has been around from pretty much the beginning of professional skateboarding. Dominating throughout his career on the pro circuit and the X Games, his fame has led him from MTV to Gumball 3000, from his own console games to help create a fan-based decal that’ll be featured on the Lexus IS-F CCS-R.

Tony Hawk owns a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited as well as this Jeep Hennessey SRT 600. With a stunning 0-60 time of 3.4 seconds, this is one maniac of a 4X4. It’s a super cool ride, but that carbon fiber hood looks a little incongruous and after market.

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.
