The Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has a huge following in the country due to his superhit movies. Now, apart from acting in films, Salman is also known to be an automotive fanatic. Over the years, he has owned a number of unique cars. Currently, he drives around in a brand-new Range Rover; however, apart from this latest addition, he also owns a ton of other amazing cars in his collection. Today, we bring to you all the cars that are owned by Salman Khan.
Range Rover SV LWB 3.0
As mentioned, Salman Khan recently treated himself to an all-new Range Rover SV LWB 3.0. He bought this SUV, finished in a lovely shade of Portofino Blue. This is a unique color, as most Bollywood stars opt for white and black colors for their Range Rovers. Reportedly, Salman Khan has shelled out Rs 4.4 crore for this SUV.
Salman has opted for the 3.0-liter plug-in hybrid engine, which produces a maximum power of 503 bhp and 700 Nm of torque. It is being speculated that the actor’s Range Rover has been fitted with bulletproof glass; however, we cannot confirm this.
Bulletproof Nissan Patrol
Prior to upgrading to the newest generation of the Range Rover, the Bollywood superstar bought himself a Nissan Patrol. Now, the interesting part about his Patrol is that it has been privately imported from the Gulf. He bought this SUV after continuously receiving death threats from the gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.
His Nissan Patrol is finished in the classy shade of white. It is powered by a 5.6-liter V8 making around 405 bhp and 560 Nm of torque. He has been spotted often in this bulletproof SUV around the city of Mumbai.
Bulletproof Toyota Land Cruiser LC200
When Salman Khan initially started receiving death threats from Lawrence Bishnoi, he switched from regular cars to a bulletproof Toyota Land Cruiser LC200. Salman Khan’s LC200 comes equipped with a 4.4-liter V8 engine making around 262 bhp of power and 650 Nm of torque.
Following the death threats, he increased his security significantly and is now always accompanied by a black Toyota Fortuner with his security personnel. He has also received a few police constables who get driven around in a Mahindra Bolero Neo.
Range Rover Vogue Autobiography
Prior to the shift to his bulletproof Toyota Land Cruiser LC200, Salman Khan used to be driven around in a Fuji White Range Rover Vogue Autobiography. The interesting part about this Range Rover is that he bought it for his mother.
However, since she did not use it enough, he started using it for his daily commutes. Also, this particular SUV gets his favorite VIP registration number “2727.” At the time, Salman paid around Rs 1.82 crore for this SUV, and it came equipped with a 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine that produced 254 bhp and 600 Nm of torque.
Older Generation Range Rover Vogue
Before upgrading to the Vogue Autobiography, Salman Khan used an older generation Range Rover. It too had the same “2727” VIP registration number. The interesting part about this Range Rover was that it got the brand in a lot of PR trouble in India.
What happened was that Salman Khan once complained via his Twitter account that this Range Rover was constantly breaking down. He even elaborated on a story where one day he had to take an autorickshaw. Salman Khan shared a picture of his Range Rover being loaded onto a flatbed truck while he continued his journey in an autorickshaw. This was a marketing disaster for Range Rover.
Audi RS7
Salman Khan not only owns a number of luxury SUVs but also a few fast cars as well. When he became an ambassador for Audi in India, he was gifted an Audi RS7 sports sedan. This particular model was gifted to him, finished in a stunning shade of red. It came powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that made an impressive 555 bhp of power and 700 Nm of torque. He opted for his favorite VIP registration number of “2727” for this car as well.
Mercedes Benz GL Class
The actor, before switching to the British luxury SUV brand Range Rover, used to be spotted in a Mercedes Benz GL Class SUV. It was also finished in a pearl white color, and it also boasted the same “2727” registration number. The actor was once seen visiting court in this SUV. This generation of the GL Class came powered by a 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine making 258 bhp and 619 Nm of torque. It came with a 7-speed automatic transmission and an AWD system.
Mercedes Benz GLE 43 AMG Coupe SUV
Salman Khan’s feud with superstar Shahrukh Khan was a long one. However, when this fight ended, Shahrukh Khan, as a token of appreciation, gifted Salman a Mercedes Benz GLE 43 AMG Coupe SUV. This more sporty iteration of the Mercedes Benz GLE SUV came powered by a 3.0-liter V6 engine that produced 362 bhp and 520 Nm of torque. It also came mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission.
Mercedes Benz S-Class
The superstar, when he was young, was also spotted in a Mercedes Benz S-Class sedan. This was the flagship sedan from the German carmaker at the time. It came powered by a 3.0-liter V6 engine making 235 bhp and 490 Nm of torque. He was often seen in the front passenger seat of this white sedan.
BMW X6
Salman Khan at one point was gifted a BMW X6 coupe SUV. Reportedly, it was given to him by a BMW dealer from Gujarat for the inauguration of his dealership. Salman used to be spotted driving this SUV around Mumbai. This coupe SUV came powered by a V8 engine and made 408 bhp and 680 Nm of torque.
Lexus LX
This particular SUV, the Lexus LX, was involved in a huge controversy surrounding Salman Khan. It was reported that Salman Khan had run over a few pedestrians in this SUV. Apart from this exact white Lexus LX, there were a few others that were owned by him over the years.
Suzuki Intruder M1800R
