The NBA is not only a catwalk for athletes but also a huge opportunity for them to show off what they spend their hard-earned millions on. The biggest flex is of course the car you pull up in and for Toronto Raptors' point guard and 6 times NBA all-star Kyle Lowry, this is no exception.
In the NBA it's not at all about practicality, it's about style, with numerous other NBA stars pulling up in some of the sickest supercars around. Lowry has also developed a signature style of clothes along with a very distinctive style of cars.
With almost any car in the world within budget let's take a look at what Kyle Lowry chooses to pull up in.
Kyle Lowry And His Ferrari 812 GTS
Kyle Lowry's Ferrari 812 GTS is incredible. The spec is super tasteful, black leather with yellow accents inside a satin grey Scuderia-shielded exterior, it certainly has some presence when driving into the training ground.
It looked especially cool when it rolled out to his front yard off the back of a delivery trailer.
The 812 is definitely a good investment. With a world of EVs creeping closer and closer, who knows when the iconic Ferrari V12 will be extinct. We just hope he doesn't end up rolling it into a lake as another 812 GTS owner did.
It's likely Kyle reached a point in his career where he felt he had earned himself a treat, and what an amazing place in life it must be when buying a Ferrari 812 is a deserved gift to yourself.
His contract with the raptors currently lands him around $33 Million, so this 812 GTS was just a little dent in that humongous sum.
Coming In At $355,000, The GTS Is Only $15,000 More Than The 812 Superfast, The Car From Which It Has Evolved From
The 812 GTS is a Targa-roofed version of 812 Superfast that puts down 789 HP and a nice 530 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
It's Kyle's most famous car, and the only one the media has covered extensively. He doesn't strike us as the showy type and he definitely earned this one. He's considered one of the greatest to ever wear a Raptors jersey and ranks at number one on TSN's list of all-time Raptors.
It also seems as if Lowry is more tasteful than some other athletes, he hasn't modified or made any striking changes to his 812, and that's a good thing. A contrast to, Odell Beckham JR, who has modified almost every car he has bought.
Quick, stylish, and nimble, we're sure Kyle will enjoy and experience this infamous sound and engine until he pleases. Here at HotCars, we tend to care more about the car athletes drive rather than their performance stats, so for this 812, we say good work, Kyle.
