Kim Kardashian is known for her love of cars, but her latest purchase may split opinion.

The newest addition to her collection is a $306,000 custom Range Rover, customized by Urban Automotive and Platinum Motorsports.

The satin silver paint job alone cost her $20,000 – not that she doesn’t have money to spare.

Kim Kardashian’s new ride

The most noticeable addition is the carbon fiber body kit, which widens the car’s stance.

Kardashian also added some 24-inch Forgiato Cactus Jack wheels.

The 43-year-old entrepreneur has already shared a snap of her newest purchase with her 362 million followers.

In the shot, Kardashian is shown posing by the car’s open door, wearing an off-white dress and bracelet.

What went into creating Kim Kardashian’s Range Rover

The car’s fiber body kit was designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom, before being shipped over to California.

There it was assembled onto the Range Rover.

Reportedly, it took over 300 hours to complete this project.

Other details are woven into the vehicle that give a nod to its famous owner – a custom logo that reads KK is on the grille and the windows are tinted to allow for privacy.

Hopefully, this Range Rover doesn’t end up like her previous purchase.

Earlier this year, the SKIMS founder’s damaged 2022 Range Rover was spotted for sale online.

It was going for $99,950 – despite it having missing bumpers and deployed airbags.

With most of the damage being sustained at the front, the grill and headlight covers are also missing.

Kardashian had received the car for her 42nd birthday in 2022.

It crashed in 2023, when allegedly being driven by one of her former employees.

I’d question the wisdom of spending $100,000 on a dented car just because Kardashian once sat inside of it, but who am I to judge?
