Mark Wahlberg is among the most successful actors and producers in Hollywood. Popular for his portrayal as John in the 2012 comedy-drama, 'Ted', Wahlberg is a versatile artist who has delivered some memorable performances throughout the course of his career.
Wahlberg also happens to be somewhat of a car geek and owns a plethora of amazing cars. He is one of the richest celebs in Hollywood and has an estimated net worth of around $300 million. And some of his most valued assets include the cool cars that he houses inside his garage. Wahlberg has been very much a 'car guy' since a young age. He's spoken about how his love for four-wheelers led to him getting a job as a car mechanic in his teens. A man who knows how to play around with oil changes and car engines is bound to have an impeccable car collection.
Mark Wahlberg was in the news some 20 years back when he purchased the Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster - the first Lambo ever that clocked over 200 m/h. Since then, he's added some stunning cars to his collection. He's often spotted spinning around in some of these cars.
Let's have a look at some of the cars that Mark Wahlberg drives.
2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
The 2012 Mercedes SLS AMG is the second luxury Merc purchased by Mark Wahlberg. The first-ever Merc that Mark purchased during his 'rap days' was reportedly vandalized by some locals and the fact that he didn't get his Merc insured didn't exactly help. The vandalizing included cutting open the roof of the Merc and stealing the radio and sound systems. Brutal.
More than a decade later, Wahlberg purchased another stunning Merc: the 2012 Mercedes SLS AMG. The 2 door coupe is a monster on-road, thanks to the unique design it received from Mark Fetherston. Guess who helped Fetherston in designing this beast? None other than Formula One legend, David Coulthard. Unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, the 2012 SLS AMG managed to wow the audiences globally. The makers claimed that the 2012 SLS AMG's engine is "the world's most powerful, naturally aspirated production series engine". It boasts a rear-mounted 7-speed dual-clutch transmission that powers the 20 inch rear wheels. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 3.6 seconds, allowing you to cross a quarter-mile in just 11.7 seconds. The bad boy also comes equipped with a 7-speed gearbox.
The 2012 Mercedes SLS AMG was universally celebrated upon its launch and British broadcaster and journalist, Jeremy Clarkson went on record to claim that it is indeed "the greatest car in the world".
2015 Toyota Sienna
While celebs are renowned for owning superexpensive hypercars, the 2015 Toyota Sienna that Mark Wahlberg owns falls in a totally different category. It's an out-and-out comfort vehicle, designed for everyday use or family getaways.
The 7 to 8-seater minivan is powered by an inspiring 3.5-liter V6 engine. A family-oriented multi-purpose car, the Sienna has everything that one expects from the perfect SUV: advanced technology, spacious and comfort-oriented interiors, and smooth exterior styling.
The front seat sports a 7-inch touch screen that helps you navigate effortlessly or explore the infotainment features at your disposal. The backseat also sports a dual-view 16.4-inch color display entertainment center that supports Blu-Ray, provides SD and HDMI outputs, and has a remote control with two wireless headphones. What's more? The dual moon roof allows users a clear view of the stars and the contrast stitching allows maximum comfort.
The heated steering wheel ensures comfort and assists in longer drives. Stowable extra seats and expandable cargo functions help you plan longer journeys on the road. Safety is guaranteed with the Sienna. This robust SUV comes integrated with several safety measures such as the ABS, the Standard Integrated Back-Up Camera, and the Blind-Spot Monitoring System with rear cross-traffic alerts. All in all, the Sienna has enough power, space, and style to take you and your family wherever you want.
Wahlberg's Sienna model stands out compared to the average model. His Sienna version boasts black wheels with chrome lips, tinted windows, and a DirecTV system to keep his kids entertained. When he appeared on an Ellen episode, he went on to state that his Sienna has been nicknamed the 'Mintmobile' in his family, thanks to its spacious interiors, allowing him to store an 'unlimited supply of mint candy' in there.
Rolls-Royce Cullinan
Rolls-Royce cars symbolize majesty and royalty across the globe. The Rolls Royce Cullinan epitomizes luxury and heritage, combined with strength and fervor. The full-size luxury SUV happens to be the first-ever SUV launched by Rolls-Royce, and also their first all-wheel-drive vehicle.
This monster is named after the Cullinan diamond - the largest rough diamond ever discovered. The big boy looks like no other SUV out there with the finesse of Rolls Royce evident all over it. Designed by Giles Taylor, this hunk has been in production since 2018. The 5-door luxury car showcases a superior 6.75 liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine and dwarfs almost every other car in its class. The SUV boasts an 8-speed automatic transmission which ensures that the Cullinan can tackle almost any and every form of terrain. With a curb weight of 2660 kilograms, this RR monster is virtually one of the most robust SUVs ever made.
The Cullinan comes with best-in-class lounge seats and cabin space. The car uses an aluminum space frame chassis - a version of the company’s modular "Architecture of Luxury" platform. A stereo camera fitted into the windshield scans the road ahead to adjust suspension if and when necessary (operational up to speeds of 100 km/h).
While the Rolls-Royce Cullinan is available in different color schemes, Mark Wahlberg decided to opt for a navy and white model. We don't think it's as stunning compared to the other color schemes but it's Mark Wahlberg we're talking about. He can pull off anything and everything, even if it's a luxury Rolls-Royce that sort of looks like a London taxi.
