When Jim Carrey turned into an eccentric and maniacal green-skinned superhero who can bend reality, after wearing a wooden mask in the 1994 blockbuster, The Mask, we all fell in love with him.
Known for his impeccable comic timing, Carrey is among some of the most influential names in Hollywood. Like his Hollywood counterparts, Jim Carrey is in love with luxurious cars too. With an estimated net worth of around $150 million, he owns some stunning four-wheelers apart from a beach home, few luxury apartments, and... wait for it... a private jet. While it's practically impossible to capture him in his flying jet, Carrey has been constantly pictured spinning around in his luxury cars.
It's safe to say that Jim Carrey owns some stunning luxury cars. Here are some of the cars that The Mask actor drives.
Mercedes-AMG SL63
The SL class of Mercedes hosts a series of grand-tourer sports cars built to charm audiences since 1954. The SL in the model name is an abbreviation for Super-Leicht (Super Light). American importer Max Hoffman originally suggested the idea of a toned-down Grand Prix car to attract American audiences in the post-war world. Six and a half decades, and several gen-models down the line, the SL series has created an unparalleled legacy.
The 2-door SL63 roadster that Carrey owns is a hot car that he cannot get enough of. He purchased this stunning Merc after his infamous split with ex-partner Jenny McCarthy. He’s often spotted spinning around in this beauty. Carrey's Merc has a powerful 6.2 Litre V8 engine with an impeccably designed gearbox. The engine has the ability to generate an impressive 518 horsepower and is mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission. The acceleration is impressive too. It can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 3.9 seconds. The engineering is par excellence and the SL63 is designed to deliver comfortable driving dynamics.
What's more? The twin-seater has marvelous interiors and exemplary exteriors. Its luxuriously built cabin boasts plush seats and generous cargo space. The car was a raging success but it aged after all. After 8 years of production, Mercedes-AMG pulled the plug on the roadster.
The good news is that Mercedes-AMG's head boss Tobias Moers says that an eight-generation SL - being currently developed as a successor to the iconic SL63 - is set to debut sometime in 2021. We're sure Jim Carrey must be a happy man, if and when he hears this news.
Porsche Panamera
Manufactured by German automobile company Porsche, the Panamera is a front-engine super-deluxe car. It boasts a rear-wheel-drive layout with the option of all-wheel drive versions available. The Panamera has a predecessor in the iconic Porsche 989 from the late 1980s, and it’s safe to say that the car has lived up to the classic Porsche's reputation. The Panamera with its long hood and rear hatch often earns comparisons with the Porsche 911. Two generations of this beast have seen the light of the day so far with the 2021 model grabbing plenty of attention of late.
Designed by Michael Mauer, Jim Carrey's Porsche Panamera is a sight to behold. It is powered by an impressive engine and auto transmission attributes. Other impressive attributes include adaptive air suspensions, the Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), active anti-roll bars, and the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM). The interiors of the versatile actor's Porsche are "posh"; boasting carbon fiber and customized leather upholstery. A car so magnificent, it makes us wonder if "Bruce Almighty" built it himself.
1976 Lamborghini Countach (Should Own)
In his biography, Jim Carrey talked about some of his early struggles. How he dropped out of high school and lived in a mobile Volkswagen bus with his family. According to Carrey, it was during these tough financial times that he developed a sense of humor. Fast forward to this day, the actor owns several luxury apartments, the aforementioned cars above, and a private jet.
But one car that Jim Carrey loves - and doesn’t own yet is the 1976 Lamborghini Countach. The actor was seen in the beautiful vintage Lambo with Jerry Seinfeld on the latter's popular Netflix series, "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee". The gorgeous Tahiti Blue 1976 Lamborghini Countach LP400 boasts a 370 horsepower, V12 engine that powers the vintage speedster to a roaring top speed of 180 miles per hour - an unparalleled achievement in the bygone era. Carrey and Jerry are seen having a light-hearted fun talk when Carrey speaks about a McLaren that he once owned. Carrey also revealed that he now drives a Tesla, which prompted Jerry to retort with his displeasure for electric cars.
