McLaren Formula 1 driver Lando Norris has offered a glimpse into his impressive car collection, singling out the vehicle he is most proud of and detailing his shared love for cars with his father.
Why it matters: Norris, who reluctantly admitted to owning approximately 16 cars during an appearance on his company Quadrant's podcast "Quadcast", identifies his Lamborghini Miura as the car with the deepest personal meaning. This revelation highlights not only his success but also his appreciation for automotive history.
The details:
- Norris's Miura is an original P400 model, powered by a 3,929cc V12 engine.
- It is one of only 762 ever produced and is reportedly valued at £2 million.
- "I love historic [cars] more than modern cars," Norris explained. "My favorite car? The one that’s meant the most to me, the car I’m most proud of, is my Lamborghini Miura. I think it's one of the most beautiful cars ever made."
- He describes the Miura as his "first proper gift to myself" – a significant personal investment.
- Another notable car in his collection is his chrome Shelby Cobra, which he famously drove to the 2024 British Grand Prix. "I was like, I need to drive a Cobra. And I drove it into Silverstone and I was like, yeah, this is the coolest. It is the loudest thing in the world."
The big picture: Norris's passion for cars began with his father. He now cherishes sharing this enthusiasm, particularly as his parents attend many races. He feels he is living his father's dream, recalling how his dad and grandfather would go to races together. This shared experience deepens his appreciation for his F1 career.
Other notable vehicles: Norris's extensive collection also includes a McLaren 765LT, a Ferrari F40, a Porsche Carrera GT, a McLaren P1, and a modified Land Rover.
