Lauren’s collection started in the 1970s with the 1971 Mercedes 280SE 4.5 convertible.

In the fifty years since he’s accumulated a stash worth millions.

One eye-catching number among his haul is the 1996 McLaren LM F1, which comes in a distinctive orange.

With 620 hp and a top speed of 386 km/h (240 mph), this speedy dynamo can go from 0-97 km/h (0-60 mph) in 3.2 seconds.

The F1 LM was so powerful that the engine bay had to be lined with gold.

In all only six of these cars were made, with five going to customers.

On the older side of things is the 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic Coupe looks like it came straight out of a black-and-white movie.

Although the car certainly looks sophisticated and is most commonly associated with Lauren’s image, it’s not just a pretty car.

It can reach a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph), with only four ever being made and Lauren’s is one of only two that remains in its original form.

For a taste of something modern, Lauren has the 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari on standby.

At the time of its release, the 950 hp model had more power than any Ferrari built before it, it was also the first to use hybrid technology.

Decked out in sleek dark paint, this black beauty can hit 0-97 km/h (0-60 mph) in an astonishing 2.4 seconds.

Lauren’s cars are as fast as they are classy.

Fashion may change and evolve, but these cars will remain classics forever.

Lauren stepped down as CEO back in 2015, 48 years after founding his eponymous brand, but remained involved as executive chairman.

Hopefully, semi-retirement has opened up some time for enjoying his cars.

He’s not the only famous face with an impressive array of cars at his disposal.

Shaquille O’Neal is another car lover, even though he has to alter the cars to fit his giant frame.

Meanwhile, the NBA’s Kevin Durant has a $4 million car collection, which includes a rare Ford known as the ‘Ferrari Killer’.
