FORMER president Donald Trump is not allowed on the road anymore, but that doesn’t mean his $2million car collection has vanished.

From a Rolls-Royce Phantom to a 24K Gold Chopper, Trump’s love for luxury automobiles has led to a huge car assembly over the years.

Many people dream about having a car collection like Trump’s, but unfortunately, he cannot drive his opulent cars himself.

With the Former Presidents Act of 1958, former presidents are banned from driving on public property.

The rule was passed to continually keep them safe after their time in the office, and also for security breach purposes.

Once former presidents leave the White House, not only are they banned from driving, but are also unable to go anywhere alone.

They receive secret service protection for the rest of their lives.

Here’s what’s in Trump Garage.


MERCEDES-BENZ SLR MCLAREN

A hypercar developed by Daimler AG and McLaren Automotive, it is no surprise that Trump owns a stunning McLaren.

Per Ultimate Specs, the $500K luxury car has an “engine that produces a maximum power of 626 PS at 6500 rpm and a maximum torque of 780 Nm at 3250 – 5000 rpm.”

“The power is transmitted to the road by the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) with a 5-speed automatic gearbox.”

ROLLS-ROYCE SILVER CLOUD & PHANTOM

The epitome of luxury and wealth, Trump also owned not one, but two Rolls-Royce vehicles.

From a 1956 Silver Cloud to a Phantom, Rolls-Royce is seen to be one of Trump’s first cars and also his favorite.

“Phantom is better suited for wafting along with delicate inputs to throttle and steering. To say that the ride is smooth would be an understatement—imagine being carried along on a fluffy cloud,” shared Cars and Drivers.

“The Phantom practically levitates over the road; it features a pothole-spotting camera that helps the suspension adapt to road imperfections in real-time.”

LAMBORGHINI DIABLO

Although now sold to someone else, Trump once owned a 1997 Lamborghini Diablo, Italy’s iconic supercar.

Ranging from $199K to $240K, Trump’s particular Diablo was seen on eBay for $460K back in 2017.

“The Lambo has been passed around to several owners since Trump parted with it, but to help ramp up its value, the car has received some special Trump-related treatment from subsequent owners, such as a unique exterior badge with his name on it,” shared Stephen Goldasz with Insider.

TESLA ROADSTER

Per Telsa, the $200K all-electric supercar maximizes the potential of aerodynamic engineering with record-setting performance and efficiency.

Despite a compact design, the six-foot-two former president seems to love his Roadster.

As of now, the new Roadster is anticipated to make a comeback in 2023.

“We are working on the Roadster. I wish we were working faster, but I also wanted to say that, in the time we have been developing it, we have also been learning a lot,” shared Tesla Chief Designer Franz von Holzhausen.

CADILLAC ALLANTE

With Cadillac being an icon for the rich and famous in America, Trump owned several models from the company.

“He even had a pair of special edition Cadillac limousines named after him, known as the Trump Executive Series,” shared Goldasz with Insider.

Trump revealed that his Allante was gifted to him by Cadillac, and was painted his favorite color, gold. The car usually retails for around $40-$50k

24 KARAT GOLD CHOPPER

Rounding out his car collection, Trump’s last vehicle is a 24K Gold Chopper.

Paul Teutul Sr. from American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior designed a custom gold chopper for Trump back in 2012.

The 24K gold creation has Trump’s name engraved in the piece, making it one of the most luxurious and noticeable motorcycles in the country.
