ORIGINAL ARTICLE: 10 Luxury Cars owned by Shah Rukh Khan
As one of Bollywood’s biggest stars, Shah Rukh Khan has access to some of the world’s most expensive items.
This includes an array of cars.
The Bollywood icon likes to splurge on vehicles and he has owned a number of luxury motors over the years.
While some are practical SUVs, others are extravagant sports cars.
Many of the cars cost several crores due to the cost of importation into India on top of the sale price.
We look at 10 lavish cars that Shah Rukh Khan owns.
Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe
As a car enthusiast, it is no surprise that Shah Rukh Khan owns a Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe.
This lavish motor is a two-door version of the Phantom but it still exudes luxury.
It has a 6.8-litre V12 engine that produces 460 bhp.
The Rolls-Royce also comes with a plethora of optional extras, ensuring that it is truly a bespoke vehicle.
However, it does not come cheap as SRK found out.
It costs around Rs. 7 Crore (£695,000) and that is for a base model without any customisation. So Shah Rukh paid far more in all likelihood.
Nevertheless, this car is a perfect blend of luxury and comfort.
Bentley Continental GT
Another star attraction in Shah Rukh Khan’s garage is the Bentley Continental GT.
The Continental GT is a popular choice for Indian celebrities such as Amitabh Bachchan and Virat Kohli. SRK is no exception.
This grand tourer is a combination of luxury and sports, giving it a strong road presence wherever it goes.
It has a 4.0-litre V8 engine that churns out 500 bhp and has a top speed of 198mph.
But as with other lavish cars, it comes with a hefty price tag, costing Shah Rukh approximately Rs. 4 Crore (£397,000).
BMW i8
Shah Rukh Khan is a fan of BMW, with several models in his extensive car collection.
But one of his most eye-catching ones is the BMW i8 which he purchased in 2016.
The i8 is a plug-in hybrid sports car and is also owned by the likes of Sachin Tendulkar.
An electric motor is combined with a 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, enabling the i8 to go from 0 to 62mph in 4.4 seconds.
Using both power sources while set to EcoPro, the i8 can achieve a 330-mile total range.
Costing approximately Rs. 2 Crore (£199,000), it certainly is not cheap.
However, with its futuristic design, Shah Rukh Khan is bound to turn heads whenever he heads out in his BMW i8.
Bugatti Veyron
Shah Rukh Khan may have an array of stunning vehicles but it is believed that he is also the owner of a Bugatti Veyron.
This hypercar is well known in the car world, having been the world’s fastest car at one point.
The Veyron is powered by an 8.0-litre turbocharged W16 engine that produces just under 1,000 bhp and has a top speed of 267mph.
Although it is no longer in production, it is a car that many wealthy petrolheads want in their garage.
For SRK, this is perhaps the most exclusive car in his collection.
However, it is by far one of the most expensive purchases, costing around Rs. 12 Crore (£1.1 million).
Nevertheless, for those with the money, it is one car that will attract eyeballs.
BMW 7-Series
Another BMW in Shah Rukh Khan’s collection is the 7-Series.
This flagship saloon car offers a luxurious experience and brilliant engineering prowess.
As a result, it is no surprise that it is a preferred choice among Bollywood celebrities.
Shah Rukh owns the BMW 760 Li, which has a 6.0-litre V12 petrol engine, producing 544 bhp.
It is one of the most feature-loaded cars in the world and costs £70,000.
It has been a popular choice for Shah Rukh, with the actor being spotted numerous times entering the car.
Range Rover Vogue
While Shah Rukh is a fan of saloons and sports cars, he is no stranger to splashing out on SUVs and the Range Rover Vogue is just one example.
His one stands out in white with a contrasting black roof and it is a vehicle that the Bollywood megastar regularly goes out in.
It has a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine that produces 510 bhp.
It also costs around Rs. 2 Crore (£198,000).
The Range Rover Vogue combines luxury with practicality, meaning it was an obvious choice for Shah Rukh when making the purchase.
Hyundai Creta
Shah Rukh Khan has been a brand ambassador for Hyundai for over two decades and the Creta is a testament to that.
SRK unveiled the 2020 Hyundai Creta at the 2020 Auto Expo in February.
During the unveiling, it was revealed that Shah Rukh became India’s first owner of the car, with company representatives handing over the keys to the Bollywood star.
At Auto Expo 2020, SRK had said:
“It’s a big honour to be with my Hyundai family.
“Two things happened in the last 22 years – I had a son and became the brand ambassador of Hyundai India.”
“So I am like the father of Hyundai in India.”
Prices start at a reasonable Rs. 10 Lakh (£9,900) but it is loaded with features.
This includes Hyundai’s Bluelink technology which allows for remote functions, such as voice commands to open and close the sunroof.
Audi A8 L
Another car from Germany that Shah Rukh Khan owns is the Audi A8 L, Audi’s flagship saloon.
It has a spacious interior with particularly comfortable seating in the rear.
Features include advanced driver assistance systems and technology to make everyday journeys flow with ease.
Shah Rukh owns a diesel version, which is powered by a 4.2-litre V8 engine, producing 380 bhp.
Prices start from £81,000 but it is a practical car that offers a lot of luxury for owners like Shah Rukh Khan.
Toyota Land Cruiser
The Toyota Land Cruiser may be an underrated SUV, but that has not stopped Shah Rukh from purchasing one.
It is an effective vehicle both when it comes to on and off-road adventures.
The vehicle has a range of features, taking safety into account.
Features such as vehicle stability control and trailer sway control ensure that safety is paramount for the driver.
It has a 4.5-litre V8 engine that produces 280 bhp and costs around £50,000.
Mitsubishi Pajero
The Mitsubishi Pajero is one of Shah Rukh Khan’s oldest cars in his collection but it is a reliable option for the actor.
It was first introduced in 1981 and discontinued in 2021 and it is known for its robust styling and off-road driving prowess.
Shah Rukh’s car has a 2.8-litre four-cylinder diesel engine that produces 120 bhp.
While the Pajero did not offer any kind of unique features, it was very popular among the off-roading community due to its reliability.
Its ruggedness also appealed to Shah Rukh, who purchased the SUV when he was younger.
When it comes to Bollywood car collections, few live up to Shah Rukh Khan’s.
While some are built solely for high performance, others are more about luxury.
One thing for certain is SRK’s love for cars comes at a price as all of them are very expensive.
But travelling in style is paramount for the actor.
