BEYONCE and Jay-Z have not only amassed an impressive music career but a phenomenal car collection as well.
After first meeting Jay-Z in her late teens, Beyonce and the rapper tied the knot on April 4, 2008.

The couple has now been together for more than two decades.
The duo also became parents to Blue Ivy in 2012, after four years of marriage, and welcomed twins Sir and Rumi in June 2017.
Their car collection boasts luxury vehicles with room for their brood and motors that have been used in their music videos.
From Maybachs to a Rolls Royce, let’s take a peek at the car couple’s jaw-dropping fleet.
2005 Ferrari F430 Spider
10
Jay-Z’s love for the Spider is how it got to star in the Show Me What you Got music video back in 2006.
“The Ferrari’s all-aluminum, 32-valve V-8 produces commendable horsepower (483) for its relatively diminutive size (4308 cc), but its exhaust note destroyed our finely calibrated sound meters, which we judged unacceptable,” reports Motor Trend.
“Acceleration to 60 miles per hour is appreciably better than average–comparable with recent Estes model rockets we’ve tested–but produces significant and unflattering facial distortion.”
2006 Pagani Zonda F
One of the couple’s most treasurable vehicles in their collection, only 25 of this car was made.

The F stands for Argentine racing car driver Juan Manual Fangio, who won the Monaco Grand Prix twice.
“The F Roadster combines the coupe’s performance with open air driving and fine craftsmanship. Pagani says their cars have a soul and, when looking at the details, a Zonda is a sight to behold,” says Supercars.
“Each is a carbon fibre masterpiece and the Roadster has been reinforced with a chrome-molybdenum alloy roll-bar for safety and piece of mind.”
2010 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport
10
The Halo singer gifted her husband a $2million Bugatti for his 41st birthday.
The supercar is a “36-pound transparent polycarbonate roof that is removed with help from a friend. There’s also a black canvas tarp with carbon-fiber bows that covers the cockpit like a Nicoderm patch,” per Cars and Drivers.
“By twisting a glossy aluminum and carbon-fiber rod that is threaded at one end—the rod probably costs more than a new Toyota Yaris—you slowly unpucker the canvas like an umbrella and snap it into place, then stow the rod inside a tube in the cockpit.”
2004 Maybach Exelero
10
The epitome of luxury, it is no surprise the power duo owns a Maybach.
And it is not just a Maybach, but a Maybach Exelero.
Exelero was only manufactured once globally, making it one of the most expensive cars in the world.
Made by Stola and its collaboration with DaimlerChrysler, the car is currently worth approximately a whopping $8million.
Maybach Exelero “is 19 feet long in length, has 23” inches wheels, and the company says, that it will never build again. The gas mileage is 2.5 mpg when it is at full throttle,” per Worlds Ultimate.
1957 Corvette C1

The icon of the 50s, Jay-Z likes to ride in his red Corvette with his daughter Blue Ivy.
The cars originally cost around $3,000 when first produced and now fetch around $100,000 at auction.
“With a maximum top speed of 137 mph (220 km/h), a curb weight of 3034 lbs (1376 kgs), the Corvette C1 230hp has a naturally-aspirated V 8 cylinder engine, Petrol motor,” reports Ultimate Specs.
The engine also “produces a maximum power of 233 PS (230 bhp – 171 kW) at 4800 rpm and a maximum torque of 407.0 Nm (300 lb.ft) at 4800 rpm. The power is transmitted to the road by the rear wheel drive (RWD) with a speed gearbox.”
2006 Maybach 57S

With a rare Maybach Exelero already in their garage, the couple also owns a 57S which starts at $416,200.
The 57S has a “fuel consumption of 16.4 litres/100km – 17 mpg UK – 14 mpg US (Average), 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) in 5.0 seconds, a maximum top speed of 171 mph (275 km/h), a curb weight of 6030 lbs (2735 kgs),” as reported by Ultimate Specs.
“This engine produces a maximum power of 612 PS (604 bhp – 450 kW) at 4800 rpm and a maximum torque of 1000 Nm (737 lb.ft) at 2000-4000 rpm. The power is transmitted to the road by the rear wheel drive (RWD) with a 5 speed Automatic gearbox.”
2007 Maybach 62S
Rouning off their Maybach series comes the 62S, which starts approximately at $492,602.
The couple’s Maybach series constantly shows up in Jay-Z’s songs, including in Maybach Music.
“With 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) in 5.2 seconds, a maximum top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h), a curb weight of 6129 lbs (2780 kgs), the 62 S has a turbocharged V 12 cylinder engine, Petrol motor,” reports Ultimate Specs.
“This engine produces a maximum power of 612 PS (604 bhp – 450 kW) at 4800 rpm and a maximum torque of 1000 Nm (737 lb.ft) at 2000 rpm.”
2017 Rolls Royce Phantom VIII
10
Despite the luxury Maybachs, the hip-hop mogul rather turns to his Phantom now.
“Rolls-Royce keep my movements, smooth while maneuvering Through all the manure in the sewer that I grew up in,” reads Jay-Z’s song No Hook.
The duo’s phantom is “manufactured by Rolls-Royce in United Kingdom,” with a “4-door limousine body type” and an “automatic 8-speed gearbox,” per Automobile-Catalog.
Such models are worth around $450,000.
2018 Bentley Continental GT
10
The $240K Bentley is another luxurious vehicle that sits in the couple’s garage.
“The entry-level GT V8 is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 that produces 500 hp and 487 lb-ft of torque, but the V8 S’ engine produces more at 520 hp and 502 lb-ft and delivers an EPA-rated 15/25 mpg city/highway and 14/24 mpg for the convertible (2017),” shares Motor Trend.
“The GT is equipped with a 582-hp, 531-lb-ft 6.0-liter twin-turbo W-12 engine and is rated at 12/20 mpg. The 6.0-liter twin-turbo W-12 engine in the GT Speed produces 633 hp and 620 lb-ft but the Supersports is tuned to produce a whopping 700 hp and 750 lb-ft.”
“All engines are backed by an eight-speed automatic and are only available with all-wheel drive. In Motor Trend testing, the 2017 Bentley Continental Supersports hit 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and stopped from 60 mph in 115 feet.”
2012 Dartz Prombron
10
Ranking as one of the most expensive SUVs, the Dartz Prombron is estimated to cost around $1.1million.
“This particular car’s running the stock H2 V8 engine, and while no performance data is available, Dartz assures us it’s fast enough “for chasing”. The body is made from Kevlar and carbon, and a special hexagonal carbon fibre,” per Top Gear.
1993 Lexus GS300
One of their “oldest” car models, the 1993 Lexus GS300.
The vehicle “develops 220 horsepower and runs as smoothly as a sewing machine,” reports Cars.
“All GS 300s come with the transmission that is used in the LS 400, an exceptionally smooth-shifting, computer-controlled, four-speed automatic.”
“No manual gearbox is available, and one isn’t likely to be offered, according to Lexus officials.”
