Tennis and motorsports don't usually go hand in hand, however, Roger Federer's impressive car collection proves otherwise. Roger Federer is widely regarded as the best and most successful tennis player of all time, he holds 20 men's singles grand slam titles and currently sits at no.5 in the ATP tour ranking. Along with his impressive trophy collection, Federer's car collection is nothing to be sniffed at.
Through a lot of prize money and several endorsements, he has developed one of the more tasteful garages in the celebrity car world. Known for being humble and classy, you won't see anything too out of the ordinary such as other athletes' collections, instead, Roger's cars remain extremely tasteful.
If his Nike, Rolex, and Uniqlo brand deals weren't enough; Federer's long affinity with the Stuttgart-based Mercedes-Benz has proven to be a highly lucrative contract for him; up to $5 million a year since 2008. So it's no surprise that this garage has a great line-up of Mercedes-AMGs. And with Roger Federer retiring from tennis, he sure will be a joyful man who will get a lot more time to enjoy his German hooligans and one British outlaw!
Updated September 2022: With Roger Federer having announced his retirement, we are sure that the celebrated tennis player will get a lot more time to enjoy his cool collection of cars now! We have updated this article with more information on his German-centric car collection which is flooded with cool Mercs!
Mercedes-AMG GT
This is Federer's most famous and standout vehicle. Underneath that gorgeous sunbeam yellow body, lies AMG's now famous 4 liter-twin-turbo V8. pushing out 500 brake horsepower and all that power going to the rear wheels. With a 0-60 time of 3.6 seconds, it's quick. And not to mention it sounds great. With a price tag of around $130k from new, it's one of the more expensive choices in his collection.
Mercedes-AMG G63
The G-wagon has become any lucrative sports star's rite of passage. Especially in Europe, they are seen as status symbols. Loud and obnoxious but in a good way. Although his car isn't the one pictured, he instead went for a much more subdued color in white, seen when filming a commercial.
The V8-powered boxy beast is probably Roger's go-to when he has to fill the trunk with lots of tennis kits. These are also very common in Geneva especially, so we are sure Rodger won't look out of place cruising the streets in this one.
Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG
It's to no surprise that a convertible was going to be in the garage, and this was Roger's pick. It was available in many variants, and it's not quite sure which engine and trims he has had. However, judging by the rest it's likely that he had the SL55 AMG, with the V8 engine he knows so well powering its rear wheels. We imagine this is the car Rodger drives through the Swiss alps on a summer's day with the roof down.
Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S
This is essentially the most powerful of the GL family. Roger has been seen in and endorsed the original G-class but has since upgraded to this. The AMG V8 twin-turbo finds its way under the hood of this too, a common trend in Roger's car collection. Loads of power and torque and a great Alcantara trimmed interior make this one of the nicest 4x4 Mercedes offers.
Mercedes-Benz CLS 450
Roger was given one of these after he won't the Mercedes tennis cup. A very nice car indeed, with ample power and 5 doors so his whole family can fit in, We believe this to be his daily driver. This great-looking coupe/sedan blends in nicely and won't give too much away, it's a good choice for running errands and traveling with children.
Mercedes-AMG SLS Roadster
This would probably be Roger's pick of the bunch as it's the only car he has owned two of. The most famous is his white SLS roadster. Powered by a 6.2 naturally aspirated beast of a V8, it has a long hood and is an amazing-looking thing. Along with the roadster he was also spotted in the coupe version, which now is more sought after due to its infamous gull-wing doors.
This version was made as a tribute to the original 300SL gull-wing, a car that many consider to be one of the best-looking designs of all time. We told you Roger had good taste. When Roger was spotted in his red SLS coupe the passenger happened to be none other than the other best tennis player in the world; Rafael Nadal.
Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR
This is the only known car of Roger Federer that is not a Mercedes, the Range Rover SVR. Another mammoth-sized V8 in Roger's collection. A big car, with big power and even bigger noise. It's another sports star staple and refreshing to hear that Roger has one. Roger has a very friendly and lucrative relationship with the Mercedes-Benz marketing team, which has allowed him to have some great "other" cars without having to drop any big numbers of cash.
Mercedes-Benz EQS
The latest car to have joined Roger Federer's German-centric collection is the Mercedes-Benz EQS. He was seen posing with a black AMG EQS in his home. This is, no doubt, the fruit of his long-standing partnership with the German automaker. And we must admit that his taste is delightful even in the EV space.
The most powerful iteration of the Mercedes-Benz EQS sedan is the AMG which churns out 516 hp and 700 lb-ft of torque which can even go up to 751 hp and 752 lb-ft of torque with an optional AMG Dynamic Plus package. We hope Roger upgrades to the wilder Merc EV soon!
