10 Vehicles in the Donald Trump Car Collection
Following the lead of all billionaire playboys, Donald Trump has amassed an impressive collection
of expensive cars.
Few of these vehicles get much of a workout.
As we all know from forced Donald-watching for many years, Mr. Trump is so often chauffeured
or flown in one of his personal jets, he can have little time for driving.
So, in case he decides he wants to cull the herd a bit, it may be helpful to become familiar
with some of his stock so you can jump in with an offer.
1.
Rolls-Royce Phantom: Not a Mirage You can't expect someone who loves vehicles
as much as Donald does to be satisfied with a single Rolls-Royce.
These hand-made, British rides come in so many styles and with such variable features,
that Mr. Trump may well have a wing of his garage dedicated to housing them.
The Phantom is not a low profile car, though that has never been a problem for Donald Trump.
There is no confirmation on what color he selected for his phantom, but with 44, 000
colors available, even the demanding Mr. Trump must be satisfied.
The voice activated navigation system may, by now, be as used to the voice of The Donald
as the many viewers of The Apprentice are.
2.
2011 Chevrolet Camaro Indianapolis: Pace Car This Camaro, selected as the pace car for
the 2011 Indianapolis 500, took its color styling from its predecessor in this prestigious
event in 1969.
The dramatic orange strip bisects the car from front to back, crossing its convertible
top.
It includes a 6.8 V8 commanding an impressive 426 horses.
Twenty inch gleaming polished aluminum wheels embellish the high performance tires.
It a good thing that this Camaro comes with acoustical foam in the headliner to reduce
noise, because taking this gleaming road demon up to 426 mph could generate some impressive
interior noise.
3.
Lamborghini Diablo: A Devil of a Car If he's in the mood for less subtle elegance
and worse boy racer, he can hop into his electric blue Lamborghini Diablo.
Though a sports car, Mr. Trump can't expect to avoid a speeding ticket if he crosses the
speed limit in this car; there just aren't that many fabulous, Italian sports cars on
the roads.
Able to reach 202 mph, the Diablo has rear-wheel drive and the engine is mounted in the midpoint
of the body for added stability.
Standard features include adjustable steering wheel and seats, high tech sound system, now
classic Lamborghini scissor doors and electric windows.
We assume Mr. Trump invested in the optional custom-molded seat.
Why purchase the car if you're not going to be comfortable when you drive it?
4.
Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren A 2005 acquisition, the Mercedes-Benz SLR
cost Mr. Trump 544,000.
To avoid the fuss of traveling to Europe to pick it up, the company agreed to deliver
it to him at Trump Towers.
Inspired by low-profile race cars, the SLR features the oh-so-cool scissor doors, inset
Mercedes-Benz logo, and complex, wave-like vents.
Of course, Trump purchased the manual transmission version.
He may not drive it or anything often, but when he does he wants the full race car drive
experience.
In case he ever wants to drive his SLR on a rainy day, the car includes an advanced
breaking system.
The calipers gently skim the surfaces of the breaks; it's like having automatic windshield
wipers for your breaks!
Mercedes-Benz McLaren claims this feature is designed to maximize breaking power, but
some of us wonder if the real reason is just to keep the nasty rain off their beautiful,
custom breaking system.
5.
Cadillac Escalade What Donald Trump wants with a Cadillac Escalade
is anyone's guess.
For a man who loves speed, the 22 mph city driving is a snail, and is there any reason
to discuss the towing ability?
Is it possible that Mr. Trump every towed anything in his entire life?
Perhaps he was captivated by the word luxury in the description and didn't look at the
details, or maybe he was luxuriating in the leather seats with his hands on the wood steering
wheel before he understood that some people actually drive Escalades every day.
Either way, his Escalade has three zone cooling and heating, heated front seats for those
cooler days and heated and cooled cup holders so his coffee is never cold.
He hardly needs the cooling cup holder feature unless the ice melts in his Coke.
Donald Trump does not drink alcohol of any kind.
6.
Tesla The Tesla is another anomaly in the Trump
fleet.
This little car, powered by a farm of thousands of lithium-ion cells, is the first all-electric
car.
Though we don't know which model year Mr. Trump purchased, the newer versions of this
vehicle feature semi-autonomous navigation and parking systems.
With a fully-charged range of only 200 miles in ideal circumstances, one has to wonder
where, if ever, the millionaire, real estate mogul plans to drive his Tesla.
In this case, he can't be planning anything in his usual over-sized way.
The tiny Tesla has only two seats and will be a tight squeeze for the 6'2" Trump.
7.
Mercedes-Benz S600 Not satisfied with his current collection
of Mercedes-Benz automobiles, Mr. Trump added an S600 series to his stable.
Perhaps this was a safety purchase.
There is an S600 series featuring the ability to withstand small arms fire and some explosive
devices.
It is equipped with a self-sealing gas tank to prevent Hollywood style conflagrations
and features a state of the art alarm system.
Though most often sold to governments to protect high-ranking officials, Mr. Trump, with his
eye on the largest prize the American people have in their gift, probably purchased this
to practice for this next big role.
8.
Maybach Stocking up on his German carriages, Mr. Trump
added a Maybach recently.
This super luxury version of the S-class series, includes heat and massage seats, heated armrests,
aroma pump to gently scent the cabin air with attractive fragrance, and a 3D surround sound
system with 24 speakers.
It may take every one of this car's 603 horses to transport all that luxury and Donald Trump
in addition.
The Maybach name has since been retired, possibly due to its inability to distinguish itself
from both its parent S600 Mercedes-Benz and its closest competitors.
Uniquely, the Maybach was created based on the assumption that anyone who could afford
it would have a personal driver.
This oddity may have also contributed to its less than stellar success, even if Donald
Trump did purchase one.
9.
Ferrari Driven perhaps by his even-handed international
attitude, Donald Trump does have a Ferrari, though which model is kept under wraps.
He may have purchased it because he feel in love with the distinctive logo of a prancing
horse with the Italian colors superimposed over.
On a rare outing in his Ferrari, Mr. Trump may be additionally supporting the company
by donning appropriate corporate attire.
This does not refer to his typical $5000 power suit, but to the very successful merchandising
available and coveted by senior and novice driver alike.
Picture Mr. Trump in a Ferrari shirt, wearing Ferrari scent (the smell of money, perhaps?),
with his Ferrari sunglasses firmly in place.
10.
Rolls-Royce 1950's Silver Cloud: Classic Beauty This captivating beauty, enrobed in two tone
gray, conjures up images of black and white feature films.
In this svelte, purring wonder, you can see the icons of the big screen being chauffeured
to the academy awards, dashing from the press en route to an elopement or acting as gang
bosses, with class.
