Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud (1956)
This symbol of prim British automotive luxury is said to be the oldest car in the "flotilla" of cars that Trump has ever owned. And the same car Western media called the most "sentimental" for a billionaire, as it is one of the first cars Trump bought during his early years of financial success in the field of real estate. And the first ones are always remembered for life ...
The Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud was produced from 1955 to 1966 and was equipped with a 4.9-liter straight-six or a 6.2-liter V8 engine. A total of 7372 cars were produced.
Rolls Royce Phantom
It would be naive to believe that Trump will limit himself to just one Rolls-Royce. Therefore, the billionaire is credited with owning at least one more Rolls, but already much more modern - the Phantom model. The base price is from half a million dollars. But is that a problem for a guy whose net worth was over $4 billion in 2015?
Rolls Royce Phantom
Lamborghini Diablo Roadster VT
Of course, not only "pensioner" Rolls-Royces, but also sports cars were noted in Trump's fleet. One of the most "frostbitten" is the 1997 Lamborghini Diablo VT all-wheel drive roadster with a 5.7-liter V12 output of 492 hp. Especially for Trump, the car was painted in a unique Blue colour The Le Mans Blue (pictured) featured two-tone leather upholstery and purportedly custom-fitted seats for the eccentric, tall customer. This year the car went on sale at eBay. For a sports car with a mileage of less than 25,000, they asked for only $460,000.
Donald Trump's Lamborghini Diablo Roadster VT
Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
Donald's Passion for European Cars Shows Up in This Crazy Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, which Trump bought in 2005 for as much as $544,000! Masterpiece body with active aerodynamics, supercharged 5.4-liter V8 with 626 hp, rear drive, lifting doors, 3.7 seconds to "hundreds" and a top speed of 334 km / h - as we understand you, Donald ... By the way, Mercedes-Benz decided not to bother the client with a trip for this car to Germany - and delivered the SLR McLaren to USA, straight to Trump Tower.
The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren was produced from 2003 to 2010 and is deservedly considered one of the coolest sports cars of the past decade.
But with the SLR McLaren sports car alone, Trump's passion for brand Mercedes-Benz also not limited. So, he is credited with owning an armored S600 limousine, as well as a Maybach. Apparently, so that the Rolls Royce Phantom does not get bored alone in the garage ...
Cadillac Allante
Despite his passion for European brands, Trump managed to support the American automaker as well. The first to be credited to him is the 2-door roadster Cadillac Allante, which the Americans created with an eye on the Mercedes-Benz SL and Jaguar XJS. The double body itself was designed by Pininfarina and produced in Italy. After that, it was loaded onto a Boeing 747 aircraft (at a time the airbus took 56 bodies on board) and delivered to the Cadillac plant in Detroit, where it was "married" with a chassis and an engine. Cadillac Allante was equipped with three V8 engines (4.1, 4.5 and 4.6 liters) and in 1992 even managed to visit the famous Indy 500 as a pace car.
Cadillac Allante was produced from 1986 to 1993, making 21,430 cars during this time. And the difficulties with the logistics of the bodies made the car very expensive: the price started at over $50,000, which even today looks like a lot. Incidentally, the name Allante itself was chosen from another 1,700 computer-generated names.
Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. Inadequate!
Mr. Trump owns a sample of the first series, produced from 1955 to 1958, on the hood of which they put a 4.9-liter inline 6-cylinder engine mated to a 4-speed GM gearbox. In those years, in the “engine power” column, the British boorishly put down “sufficient”, but this “Silver Cloud” cannot be called sufficient: the second, as well as the third series, were already equipped with a 6.2-liter V8 engine, which, according to experts, produced more than 220 hp However, the first series is more desirable for collectors than desired - a little more than 2,200 copies were produced in four years.
Rolls-Royce Phantom: as bequeathed by Henry Ford
There is also a modern Rolls-Royce in the Trump collection, or rather, the 7th generation Phantom, discontinued this year. Donald himself loves to steer and has repeatedly shown himself at public events in the United States in a black car, in which his wife was sitting to his right. Interestingly, over the years of the release of the last Phantom (2003-2016), the British manufacturer, wholly owned by BMW, offers about 40 thousand colors, but Trump chose the classics, apparently remembering the testament of Henry Ford: “A car can be any color, if this black color".
Cadillac Allatne. blew the roof off
Surprisingly, this convertible weighed only 1690 kg, which is quite a bit for a high-class car with a reinforced bottom (due to the lost roof, one of the main elements of the power circuit of the car). Allatne has a rare production fate for the late 80s - early 90s: the body was made in Turin, and the power units, chassis, air conditioning, steering column and other scattering of “spare parts” were taken from the then Cadillac Eldorado (we are talking about the 9th generation of the model) and delivered to Europe from the USA on three Boeing 747s. Each of the liners carried 56 sets on board, which the craftsmen Sergio Pininfarina dressed in Italian bodies own development and sent back across the ocean. Every year it was planned to sell 6 thousand cars, but for all seven years of production the plan was never fulfilled. The convertible was not only prohibitively expensive, but also suffered from some "childhood" diseases, one of which was a soft roof leaking in the rain. Cadillac Allatne was produced from 1986 to 1993. Now for copies of the first years of production with a mileage of about 150 thousand miles in the United States they are asking from 4.5 thousand dollars.
Cadillac Escalade. Wardrobe on wheels
It’s hard to say why Mr. Trump bought this huge “wagon” for himself, maybe in order to ride it in bad weather - as it was written above, the convertible does not even protect from rain. Although the full-size SUV has seven seats, however, the entire family of Mr. Trump will not fit in this Cadillac: the president-elect of the United States is currently married for the third time, he has five children in total, the youngest of whom, Barron Trump, is 10 years old, and the eldest, Donald Trump Jr. , 39.
Tesla roadster. Supported Mask
As it turned out, the new owner of the White House purchased the first Tesla back at the time when Elon Musk was just starting the car business - before serial production. Release Model S was still a few years away. Most popular car Tesla would never have existed if one day Mr. Musk had not ordered a Lotus Elise from England, removed the internal combustion engine from it and placed an electric motor in the back. As soon as things started to pick up, Musk signed a contract with Lotus for 2,500 cars and started accepting pre-orders. However, it's not just the British - Toyota invested $ 50 million in Musk, in fact, giving the savvy American its plant in California. Moreover, preparing the release of his RAV4 EV electric crossover, Musk was asked not only to develop, but also to supply some elements of the power unit. That’s where they got burned: all RAV4 EVs leased through California dealers had to be recalled - the components made by Musk failed ...
Chevrolet Camaro Indianapolis Pace Car: showed the way!
According to American tradition, the car that the IndyCar peloton follows on the track has been painted in the same colors since 1969 - the car can be unmistakably recognized by the two orange stripes on the hood, but, most importantly, anyone can buy a copy of it. Trump was no exception. The acquisition should definitely be interpreted as follows: "I show the way even to the best riders"! As for the technical part, under the hood of the "pace car" of the 2011 model, owned by the future President, there is a 6.8-liter V8 engine with a capacity of 426 hp.
Lamborghini Diablo Roadster VT: too viscous
Donald Trump has driven thousands of miles in this all-wheel drive Italian supercar! The car was bought in 1996 and sold a few years later, and this year its second owner put the car up for electronic auction, breaking up a completely exorbitant $400,000. The reason for the high expectations is Trump's name on the list of owners. Power is transmitted to the front wheels of a medium-sized car by a viscous coupling, and the power unit is turned 180 degrees: a 5-speed gearbox is installed between the seats, followed (but within the base) by a 500-horsepower V12 engine! Diablo was the first all-wheel drive sports car Lambo, later its layout began to be used on other models.
Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren: two in one
It's not often that two supercompanies join forces to create a supercar, but that's exactly what happened with the SLR. Donald Trump's personal copy cost the billionaire only $544,000! Moreover, so that the businessman does not waste his precious time driving to English Woking, the sports car was delivered to the place - to Trump Towers. A 5.4-liter V8 engine was installed under the long hood, the output of which for the SLR McLaren 722 Edition version was increased to 820 Nm and 650 hp. They released a coupe and convertible version - the future leader of the Republicans acquired closed body. Several times the paparazzi caught this supercar at expensive restaurants.
Ferrari. Fire horse!
It is known for certain that an Italian sports car is in the Trump collection, but no one can even specify the brand. It’s hard to say why such secrecy should be introduced, it may well be that the billionaire “traveled to the people” in this car. In short, the real "dark horse" - there are no other words!
Mercedes-Benz Maybach. Length matters
Donald Trump has several Mercedes, including even a Maybach that has been released. Again, little is known about the long-wheelbase version of the Pullman - only her high class armor protection. Not that Trump was afraid of assassination attempts, but the path of a politician in the United States is thorny - and presidents have been killed. As for the candidates, this summer a 20-year-old Briton was captured while trying to assassinate Trump. Michael Standford honestly admitted that he had been preparing the assassination attempt for a year. In addition, no less serious crimes were brought against him: obstructing an official in the performance of official duties, illegal possession of firearms and, most importantly, the disruption of an official event!MOSCOW, November 11 - RIA Novosti, Alexei Zakharov. Company General Motors is preparing a special Cadillac car for Donald Trump. The president-elect of the United States is likely to use it early next year. Armored SUV will not the only car in the car park of the head of state. RIA Novosti collected the most famous cars from the Trump collection.

It is unlikely that the car will technically be similar to production model.

Rare limousine burgundy equipped with a 6-cylinder power unit and luxurious (at the time of release) options: 4-speed "automatic" and air conditioning. Now Trump rarely uses this car for travel.
In the parking lots of a businessman, you can also see another model of the British brand - Phantom. As a rule, the owners of such cars move exclusively as a passenger, but Trump likes to drive his beloved black Phantom himself. The car is valued at about $0.5 million, which is several times more expensive. base price models.
Love for Cadillac
The Cadillac Allante roadster, the Trump Golden Series limousine and the Escalade SUV are just some of the American premium brand cars that have made it to Trump Park. Trump's sympathy for Cadillac even resulted in the development of a special version bearing his name.

Limousines got a number additional options, among them - a bar, TV, shredder for the destruction of documents, telephone and fax. The radiator grill was made in the style of Rolls-Royce cars.

Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud
At the age of 22, Trump began working for his father's firm and took over three years later. First major project Trump was the 68-story Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, built in 1983. Since then, "nominal" elite skyscrapers have become Trump's hallmark, along with eccentric behavior that turned him into a real movie character. Quite in the spirit of this image was the first car of a businessman - Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud 1956 release. From an old-fashioned burgundy limousine with an inline 6-cylinder engine, Trump's love for the British brand began.
Rolls-Royce Phantom
In June last year, Trump joined the fight for the presidency of the United States under the slogan "Make America great again." The Americans joke that in case of victory, the number one car will not be Cadillac, nicknamed "The Beast", but Rolls-Royce. In any case, the Republican candidate has already purchased one. The new black Phantom was photographed in transit, and thanks to the invoice, the price of the car with all the options was revealed at $507,950. But is that a problem for a guy whose net worth was over $4 billion in 2015?
Acura NSX
An affair with fashion model Marla Maples cost Trump his political career - Donald's image was undermined by the divorce proceedings. In any case, his first wife Ivana is sure of this. In 1991, he gave Marla, whom he would later marry, an Acura NSX supercar. Last year, a black car was auctioned off on eBay. mid-engine model with aluminum Honda body developed with the participation of the legendary racer Ayrton Senna. Thanks to the three-liter engine, the NSX accelerated to 100 km / h in five seconds.

Lamborghini Diablo Roadster VT
Of course, not only "pensioner" Rolls-Royces, but also sports cars were noted in Trump's fleet. One of the most "frostbitten" is the 1997 Lamborghini Diablo VT all-wheel drive roadster with a 5.7-liter V12 output of 492 hp. Especially for Trump, the car was painted in a unique Le Mans Blue color (pictured), had a two-tone leather interior trim and, allegedly, seats “according to the figure” of an eccentric buyer, who is notable for his considerable height. This year the car went on sale at eBay. For a sports car with a mileage of less than 25,000, they asked for only $460,000.
