Carlos Sainz Jr has a wild collection of some of the most desirable cars on the planet

Carlos Sainz Jr has a wild collection of some of the most desirable cars on the planet which is no surprise because he’s basically racing royalty.

The Williams Formula 1 driver has spent years behind the wheel of some of the fastest machines ever built, both on and off the racetrack.

But despite having access to countless exotic cars throughout his career, his personal garage is packed with models that reflect his love of driving rather than simply showing off.

From ultra-rare Ferraris to humble VWs, it’s one seriously impressive lineup.

Carlos Sainz Jr has a wild collection with some surprises you didn’t see coming

If there was ever any doubt that Carlos Sainz Jr is a true supercar enthusiast, one look at his garage quickly puts it to rest.

The Spanish driver has assembled a collection that includes some of Ferrari’s most exclusive creations, headlined by the stunning Daytona SP3.

Only a handful of these V12-powered hypercars were produced, making it one of the most sought-after Ferraris on the planet.

He’s also added the Ferrari 812 Competizione to his garage, describing it as one of the best-looking cars Ferrari has ever built.

The limited-production supercar became the first Ferrari he bought with his own money after joining the Scuderia, and it remains one of his favorites.

Other Ferrari highlights include the elegant Roma, the track-focused 488 Pista, and even the legendary F40, one of the most iconic supercars ever made.

His collection doesn’t stop there either.

During his time with McLaren, Sainz was spotted with a McLaren 600LT, while his years racing for Audi in various manufacturer programs also saw him behind the wheel of several high-performance Audi models.

Built for driving, not for showing off

Unlike plenty of celebrities who fill their garages with luxury SUVs and chauffeur-driven limousines, Sainz has always leaned toward cars that put the driving experience first.

Perhaps the biggest surprise is the car he still loves driving the most – the Volkswagen Golf GTI his parents gave him when he turned 18.

Sainz has admitted he often prefers taking the hot hatch around Madrid because it attracts far less attention than one of his Ferraris, saying many of his most valuable supercars spend more time tucked away than out on the road.

His more recent additions also include Ferrari’s Purosangue SUV and the exclusive SF90 XX Spider, both customized with subtle personal touches including his race number 55 and his famous ‘Smooth Operator’ nickname.

It’s a collection that perfectly reflects one of Formula 1’s biggest gearheads – packed with million-dollar Ferraris, iconic classics, and even an everyday hatchback that proves not every dream garage needs to be filled with hypercars.
