When we talk about car collections, it's mostly the famous male celebrities we mention. And somehow there’s that gender disparity in all our heads about boys and their toys. But what about the girls, and all their rides? Most of the divas, actresses, and rock icons of today also have enviable garages and car collections, regardless if they have their licenses or not, and they definitely love to show off their new wheels just like anyone else.
Frankly, who doesn’t like good, expensive cars? Anyone who can drive and who knows a thing or two about what lies under the hood would obviously love smooth and cool rides, whether they be the latest in engineering and technology or the classiest of the classics.
Updated April 2022: Lady Gaga is one of the most underrated celebrity car collectors in the world, with a garage featuring everything from classic muscle cars to luxurious land yachts and sports cars. We've updated this list to include even more cars currently owned by the pop icon.
Enter the enviable and covetable garage of Lady Gaga, which houses the best of both ends of the automotive world. She obviously loves classics and has all the big names of many eras stacked in her garage. She is often seen driving those beauties and loves to show them off on social media to the rest of her fans as well.
She also loves her expensive modern rides like the Rolls, the kind that can cost as much as a decent piece of land! She even has a few of the latest cars which are not only technological marvels but also feature in the lifestyles of the rich and famous! So here are 19 things most people may not have known about Lady Gaga’s enviable garage.
18 1955 Elvis’ Pink Cadillac Coupe DeVille
The Dive Bar Tour was a highly-acclaimed gig tour by Lady Gaga to help promote her fifth studio album 'Joanne' which was released back in 2016. And one of the high points of the event was the appearance of Elvis Presley’s coupe Cadillac De Ville.
Lady Gaga arrived in this 1955 Caddy for her Dive Bar Tour stops. This Caddy in pink with a white hardtop found an admirer in Lady Gaga, particularly as it once belonged to Elvis Presley. She really wanted to add this one to her envious collection of classic cars. However, things didn't come through, and this pink ride finally ended up for bidding on eBay.
17 Rolls-Royce Phantom
Lady Gaga is not just fond of classic vintage cars but loves to drive and ride in modern, luxurious machines too. The gorgeous Rolls-Royce Phantom is one of them. In fact, she has two of them.
This upper-crust brand offers incredible opulence and is armed with one of the most powerful mills in the car bazaar.
Clearly, she adores this top-notch brand for its size, comfort, and sheer luxury. She prefers to drive her Rolls herself — unlike most of the owners of Phantom. She’s barely visible when she’s behind the wheel but manages to grab a lot of eyeballs. It certainly is like a jewel in her crown.
16 2017 Lamborghini Huracán
Lady Gaga is easily one of the most sought-after celebrities in the music scene today. With a huge fandom behind her, she manages to be in the limelight for a lot of reasons. Be it her musical styles, themes, videos, tours, philanthropy work, or just car collection. She never misses a single chance to please her fans and is the inspiration and star of the present-day generation. She owns a black Lamborghini Huracán that she drove to the stadium to perform for the Super Bowl Half Time event in Houston in 2017. The Huracán is referred to as the god of wind, storm, and fire in Maya mythology, so obviously, it found a place in her garage.
15 2012 Porsche Boxster
This multi-platinum recording artist’s net worth is in the tens of millions and with that ever-increasing wealth, she could possibly even buy a planet in the future. Another car on her list is an upscale dream machine offering almost astral driving pleasure – a Porsche Boxster. She was spotted driving this convertible Boxster in Montreal, Canada in 2017, she and her passenger both looked like stars. It may not be the most expensive one in her garage, but it certainly looks amazing when she is behind the wheel. Unlike other mammoth-sized cars, the Boxster is small and compact with superlative performance. Perhaps that’s why it found a devotee like Gaga in it.
14 1969 Chevy Nova SS
Lady Gaga is a true vintage car buff. One of the best examples out of her gorgeous classic car collection is an electric blue Chevy Nova SS. The world-famous pop diva loves to show off her choice of chariots to the world on every social media platform imaginable. Indeed, this Chevy Super Sport’s light blue tone looks stunning and priceless. And it makes a perfect fit for her as she is known for her unusual and visually-provocative work. She is dubbed as the heiress of Madonna, so it was no tough job for her to shell out a decent amount to add this Chevy to her fleet of cars.
13 1967 Ford Bronco
What a lovely name for a car – Bronco, a wild or a half-tamed horse of the wild, wild West. And the feeling of driving a Ford Bronco is exactly like riding a wild bronco in the unpeopled wastelands.
The car has uniqueness and creativeness attached to it and is like the mood or taste of an artist. Perhaps this is the reason why it found a place in the heart of Lady Gaga. She owns one, a semi-restored blue-colored vintage truck that carries an all-new avatar. And she took it out in the desert in her popular music video for the hit single “Perfect Illusion”. Ford has recently revived the Bronco name, and it exceeded all of our expectations.
12 1965 Lincoln Continental
The Lincoln Continental in Lady Gaga’s stable is dubbed as her most renowned set of wheels. This '65 model has a vintage off-white drop top over a stunning burgundy interior. Plus, this luxury car’s wire-spoke wheels, stately lines, and iconic rear-hinged doors give it a cult status — one of the reasons why several celebrities want to own one of them. This convertible can easily seat four in its mind-boggling long body and is the ultimate choice for cruising along on the highway with best pals. It may attract paparazzi cameras when the top is rolled back, but that being off-the-radar was never the Continentals' purpose.
11 1970 Chevrolet El Camino
Lady Gaga is fond of classic cars, hot rods, muscle cars, and luxury cars. In this case, she fell for the classic lines of the El Camino. The one from her garage is a restomod that is done up in a slightly different way. This modded muscly truck loses its badge and door handles, while it gets a bigger set of wheels and wears a new charming black appearance. In her album Joanne, she drove her ride in a style that was in perfect harmony with the themes and tunes of the entire album. At times there are things you do for fun, and they become an inspiration for bigger things to come in the future.
10 2019 Mercedes-Benz V-Class
The V-Class is the most luxurious minibus money can buy. You probably won't be spotting Lady Gaga in the driver's seat ever, but she does get picked up in one of these boxy Mercedes vehicles. And best of all, since this Benz is such a large vehicle and has space for more than the average friend group, Gaga will always be able to pack an entire year's worth of clothes and keep it stored safely away without having to worry about limited space. The V-Class is definitely the odd one out on our list, but it is such a vital component in long-distance travels.
9 2020 Tesla Model X
Now this one is a bit unclear... In June 2020, Lady Gaga was spotted driving with her boyfriend at the time, Michael Polansky in a stunning black Tesla Model X that was fitted with a contrasting white interior. It's unclear who the rightful owner of the Tesla is, but if by chance it happens to be Gaga, we'd be very impressed. She truly proves that just because you're in love with old gas-guzzling muscle cars, doesn't mean it's impossible to love and embrace the future of technology. Oh, and don't forget that Tesla just recently unveiled their Model X Plaid which gives the word acceleration a brand spanking new meaning.
8 1967 Classic Ford Mustang
This is one of Lady Gaga’s prized possessions, an early Ford Mustang convertible in ivy green. Frankly, the legacy of the Ford Mustang is immense. This is a car everyone loves and has a memory associated with, and it went through its pony and muscle car phase with ease—having never faded from consumer memories, clearly, because the marque is still alive and well. This is just about the perfect car to drive on the highway with the top down, the wind in your hair, and the pedal pressed all the way to the metal.
7 2016 Mercedes-Benz E350
This is where it all started. Lady Gaga wanted to earn her driving license, and she picked a Mercedes-Benz E350 to learn the pedals and take a driving test. The E350 is armed with almost every possible luxury of the modern age and is definitely a perfect car to choose for this purpose. And she passed with flying colors, luckily, so that she could enjoy the rides she has amassed over the years. Of course, while many of her cars are like her dresses and don’t hide much – this classy ride has a near limousine-like tint for the days she needs some privacy.
6 Another Rolls-Royce Phantom
This one is her second Rolls-Royce, and it is white over tan leather with some massive black wheels. With her exquisite collection of sunhats and glasses, we suspect she manages quite well with the gargantuan size of the Rolls-Royce Phantom, though she does look a tad dwarfed in it. Now the thing with rolling in a Rolls is you have innumerable color and interior options to choose from, and we are not kidding. Some 44,000 shades of paint, just about any leather in the world, and strange amenities like umbrellas (or should we call them parasols) make it an ultimate rich girl’s toy.
5 2012 Audi R8
The Audi R8 gets special treatment from Audi’s high-performance division, Audi Sport, in terms of its design, development, and manufacturing. And it’s a tad similar to Lamborghini Huracán. It is a perfect blend of beauty and brains which we are sure Lady Gaga considers herself to be.
She started off with aggressive lyrics and outfits and now seems to be toning down towards country and blues — who know what she might do next! This is where the Audi R8 fits right in. The R8’s Quattro all-wheel-drive sits upon a drivetrain shared by the Lamborghini Gallardo and Huracán and offers comfort and speed in a scintillating design.
4 1983 Mercedes-Benz W123 300D
So why the W123? These cars were hefty classics built from 1976 to 1985 and were one of the strongest and the most long-lasting cars to come out of the Mercedes-Benz stables. The diesel-powered W123 often ran smoothly for 300,000 miles or more on the odometer and basically, needed minimum maintenance. So even a well-ridden refurbished W123 can clock many more miles, and it’s a bit of an incognito choice amidst the supercars of today. Now, no one but the most hardcore car buffs knows them too well, but this is a car that can take her just about anywhere, any time, and not attract any attention at all.
3 1993 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning
The media was agog sometime back when Lady Gaga was pulled over by the cops while driving her quintessential Ford-150 SVT Lightning truck, which is done up in scarlet red. The rumor mills started growing over time. Was she caught for a DUI? Was she speeding? Or, gasp, was it both?
Well, hardly – there seemed to be a small issue with the license plates of the truck, perhaps small enough to not even warrant a cop check. But if Gaga's driving, which cop wouldn’t want to pull her over just to check out her ride and have a little conversation with the megastar? And she does look good driving all that muscle…
2 Third-Generation Rolls-Royce Corniche
A Rolls-Royce Corniche III was once owned by Lady Gaga. She used to travel to the Guggenheim Museum in New York in this convertible red Rolls like a true diva enjoying her Rolls' cool looks and expensive luxuries.
The Corniche was powered by an immense 6.75-liter V8 paired to a three-speed automatic and despite being only a two-door car weighed a massive 5,000 pounds. So, basically, it was indestructible. Was it its strength that appealed to this singer, or its indestructibility? She auctioned it off for charity, so we may never know what was it she liked about this car, other than that perhaps it lacked the huge V10s and V12s put in the powerful cars of today.
1 2018 Mercedes-Maybach S650
As we've seen throughout this entire list, Gaga's taste in cars is very diverse, and we love to see it. In terms of luxury cars, she has Rolls Royces, so there's definitely no lack thereof, but she also has a Maybach S650 at her disposal if for whatever reason she'd like to be chauffeured in a more German way, and not drive through traffic in a large yacht on wheels. Usually, when owning a Maybach, you never want the chance to drive yourself around, but with Gaga, you never know.
