Top 10 Celebrities That Drive a Porsche

Porsche and the celebrity have a very healthy relationship. Although the Porsche isn’t in same price range as some of the expensive cars celebrities go for, its German build quality and rich heritage has celebrities selecting cars from their entire range.

Here are 10 celebrities of various entertainment genres with their various models from the Porsche range.

Funny man and Superbad star Jonah Hill recently acquired this Porsche 991 Carrera, a car he uses to cruise around Los Angeles in whilst shopping.

For rapper Chris Brown this Porsche Turbo S looks fairly normal. He’s already crashed a black one, so let’s hope he not only keeps this one in one piece, but he also leaves the paint job well alone. If you’re not sure what I mean, check out his Lamborghinis.

Miley Cyrus has been in the news a lot recently, mainly because of her twerking and lack of clothing. Here we see Miley in one of her classic outfits that suggests mild neurosis; her choice in purchasing this Porsche Cayenne GTS, however, is anything but.

Singer LeAnn Rimes had only just taken a parking ticket off the windshield of her Porsche Panamera when she got snapped. The 31-year-old should perhaps think about spending some cash at the car wash than on herself next time out shopping.

PGA star, Rickie Fowler obviously likes his cars to stick to the road like glue, as here we have a blacked-out Nissan GT-R and a Porsche GT3RS. I love the Porsche’s colour scheme – very retro and very fitting.

Pop star Ashley Tisdale has just filled up her Porsche Boxster at a gas station in Hollywood. Not the best choice of Porsche available, especially if you have the cash to buy a 911.

Despite Ellen Degeneres’ hat, she was spotted showing a little style and taste by stepping into her black Porsche Turbo S at a restaurant in L.A. Apparently this TV star loves driving fast and hates all other cars on the road – for that, I forgive that hat.

If you can look past those perfectly sculpted legs, you’ll find Lauren Conrad’s Porsche Cayenne. This girl has a superb sense of style in looking good whilst both walking and driving.

Rapper, Soulja Boy had good reason to bombard his Instagram/Twitter accounts with photos of his new Porsche 991 Cabriolet as it is a stunningly good looking ride. Although, lose the arm, Soulja Boy, you look like a right…

Maroon 5 star and “The Voice” judge, Adam Levine likes the classic look and was spotted running around in his this gorgeous 356 Porsche with his latest girlfriend riding shotgun.

Lionel Messi | Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale

Lionel Messi Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale

Lionel Messi is a short but quick forward and captain for Argentina and FC Barcelona. Because of his compact and punchy frame, he was often compared to and hailed as “the next Diego Maradona” at the start of his career.

Messi was spotted here with his gorgeous Italian stunner. Despite costing a relatively cheap €130,000, there’s just something about Maserati that makes them stand out. The Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale is a limited edition that received upgrades including a brake package.

The Argentinean has also been seen in a Ferrari F430 and  a Mini – because of his size, it’s actually the Mini that suits him best.

Devin Setogushi | Aston Martin Vantage

Devin Setogushi Aston Martin Vantage

Devin Setoguchi is a Canadian right winger for the NHL Winnipeg Jets. Being half-Yonsei, Devin has acquired the nicknames “The Gooch” and “Seto” from his surname.

Devin took his Aston Martin Vantage to California Wheels, where they sat the powerful V12 on a set of 20″ Asanti Monoblocks.

It’s good to see a Vantage over the DB9s, and the rims match perfectly.

Cesc Fàbregas | Audi R8

Cesc Fàbregas Audi R8

Cesc Fàbregas is a Spanish midfielder who plays for FC Barcelona and the Spanish national squad. Before moving to Barcelona, Cesc honed his skills at London side Arsenal, where from a young age began scoring on a regular basis.

This 26-year-old Spaniard likes zi German manufacturers for their quality and design, as apart from this Audi R8, his everyday car is a Mercedes ML.

Although it’s always better to leave a supercar stock as far as aesthetics go, this grey model needs a little something to make it pop.

Cristiano Ronaldo | Lamborghini Aventador

Cristiano Ronaldo Lamborghini Aventador

You either love Cristiano Ronaldo for his fancy foot work or detest him for his ostentatious diving, but one thing this Portuguese and Real Madrid forward does right is cars. He owns or has owned virtually every supercar out there – Porsche to Audi, Bugatti to Bentley, Ronaldo knows no bounds when it comes to filling his garage. One of his better looking rides is this $450,000 black on black ‘murdered out’ Lamborghini Aventador.

Jack Jarrett | Aston Martin Rapide

Jack Jarrett | Aston Martin DB9

Cleveland Cavaliers Point Guard, Jack Jarrett obviously loves his Rapide as he feels the need to cone off his ride every time he hits the gym. It’s a $200,000 car; I don’t think it really needs pointing out. Is the 29-year-old Paranoid or overly protective? You decide.

Nice car and rims, but that’s about it.

Top Footballers Cars

Running back for the San Francisco 49ers, Frank Gore is pictured here chilling with his Maserati Quattroporte. Giving the car a little flavor, California Wheels threw on some 22″ burgundy/chrome Asanti AF138s to match the body color – tastefully done, too.

It seems the 49ers players have vision and style when it comes to their rides as here we see Glenn Dorsey with his custom Rolls Royce Phantom. For an NFL player dabbling with customising such a regal car, I think the tints and rims go really well.

I personally detest this crazy Donk fad but thought I’d include one as NFL players seems to like them. Darren McFadden, AKA DMC or D-Mac, is a running back for the Oakland Raiders. I guess the bonus of donks is being able to get to those hard to reach areas when washing your car.

49ers offensive lineman, Chilo Rachel probably chose this whip to allow for his substantial 6’5”, 323 lb frame. Nice to see some rims that match the vehicle well.

Former NFL running back for teams like The Jets, The Bears and The Chiefs, Thomas Jones sure knows how to strike a meaningful pose, and if any car is worth posing in front of is a fire engine red Rolls Royce Phantom.

I had to include this ride as I want it… badly. Tight end for the Tennessee Titans, Delaine Walker definately knows what to do with a classic – forget the Donks and slam it into a Lowrider.

Anthony Davis plays defensive tackle for the San Francisco 49s and clearly knows how to make a jeep look cool. The 23-year-old is a behemoth of a man, so it’s probably best to remove the doors to allow for any overhang.

49ers linebacker,  NaVorro Bowman has his Porsche properly blacked out… in a good way. Simple window and rear light tints and spoked alloys with the yellow callipers on show is the way to correctly pimp out a Panamera.

It’s a well known fact Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush has a passion for buying cars. The cream of the crop so far in this list is this 1967 Shelby Mustang GT 500 – think Eleanor from Gone In Sixty Seconds. Not a lot to say apart from: Superb.

LaRon Landry plays safety for the Indianapolis Colts and is a player who also buys a lot of cars. He owns a Kawasaki green Lamborghini Murcielago but I think this matte white Aventador with black rims earns the right to grace this page.

Didier Drogba | Ferrari F430

Didier Drogba Ferrari F430

Didier Drogba is an Ivorian forward for Galatasaray in the Süper Lig and is also the captain and all-time top scorer of the Ivory Coast national team. Drogba is best known for his time at Chelsea FC, where his strength and dominance in the air earned him much respect from fans.

Apart from 3 FA Premier League titles, 4 FA Cup wins, and a UEFA Champions League win, Drogba also boasts an impressive list of personal achievements, from the 2013 Golden Foot award to being a 2 time footballer of the year.

For such a dominating and flamboyant man on pitch only the best will do when it comes to hitting the road. Here Drogba was spotted parking up his standard but sexy Ferrari F430 before hitting the high street shops.

Barry Zito | Range Rover

Barry Zito | Range Rover

Barry Zito is a pitcher for the San Francisco Giants and spent seven years with the Oakland Athletics. For someone earning around $19M a year, this Range Rover is pretty standard, although it does have an air of sawn-off shotgun and drug dealer about it.

I think the whole package is too standard, and whilst the rims are okay, there are way better available.

Ashley Cole | Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG

Ashley Cole | Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG

Love rat and Cheryl Cole’s ex husband, Ashley Cole is an England International and defender for Chelsea FC. His resume is so impressive, with many F.A. Cup wins, a Champions League win, and a list of individual honors as long as my arm, Cole has certainly earned enough cash to fill his garage with some pretty impressive rides.

Somewhat understated compared to the other rides soccer players drive, this ‘murdered-out’ SL 63 certainly makes an imposing impression. I’m not quite sure what Cole is looking for – maybe he hasn’t figured out the gearbox yet?

When it comes to luxury brands like Mercedes, I think it’s best to stay classy and not force the issue with OTT mods. Cole has maintained a cool look with the flat black and matched the rims and that’s just about right.
