NBA star Carmelo Anthony is highly well-liked and prosperous, and he has made many millions of dollars throughout his career. In contrast to most millionaires, he prefers to keep his automobiles to himself rather than flaunt them. His collection of cars, which includes everything from Italian horses to American muscle cars, is exquisite.
Because of how exciting his NBA career was, Carmelo Anthony is one of the few names that every basketball fan can recall. Carmelo began playing basketball somewhere about 2003, and from 2004 to 2010, he was a member of the Denver Nuggets.
The New York Knicks, Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Portland Trail Blazers, and Los Angeles Lakers were among the clubs he later played for.
Carmelo now has a net worth of about $100 million, according to various reports. Additionally, despite its modest size, he has a tasteful vehicle collection that is quite passionate.
5. 1971 Chevy Chevelle $67,000
The least expensive but most special car in this list is a 1971 Chevy Chevelle with a Baltimore Orioles paint job.
It’s quite rare to find a Chevelle in a collector’s garage, much less one from 1971 with just a minor facelift.
The 6.5-liter V8 muscle car engine that powered the historic Chevelle SS’s 396 trim, which enabled it to attain a 6.2-second 0-60 time overall, produced a net 260 horsepower.
4. Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray Coupe $70,000
The Corvette C7 Stingray is the most American sports car ever. Carmelo’s wife La La Anthony gifted him a black Corvette Stingray on his 30th birthday in 2014.
On La La Anthony’s Instagram page, a picture with a wholesome comment was uploaded, dedicating the Corvette to her husband as a birthday present.
The 6.2-liter V8 engine in the C7 Corvette Stingray generates 455 HP and 460 lb-ft of torque. It has a top speed of 190 MPH and can accelerate from 0 to 60 MPH in under 3.7 seconds. According to the EPA, the last generation Corvette gets 21 MPG in mixed driving and 29 MPG on the highway.
3. Jeep Wrangler
The only SUV in Carmelo Anthony’s car collection is a customized Jeep Wrangler done by Team Unique. It was received by the NBA star in March 2016.
Due in large part to its capacity to traverse any terrain the globe can throw at it, the Jeep Wrangler is fairly popular on the US market today. At the moment, it faces off against vehicles like the Ford Bronco and the Land Rover Defender.
The 6.4-liter V8 engine in the latest Jeep Wrangler generates 470 HP and 470 lb-ft of torque. It has a 0-60 mph acceleration time of 4.0 seconds and a governor-limited top speed of 112 mph. The EPA estimates that the new Jeep Wrangler gets 14 MPG in mixed driving and 17 MPG on the interstate.
2. 6th Generation Maserati Quattroporte $143,600
The Maserati Quattroporte is a full-size Italian luxury sedan that has been seen with the NBA star quite a few times, and it is the only four-door sedan that he has.
In 2015, Carmelo Anthony was spotted going to the Maserati factory and taking part in a Zegna and Maserati-related event.
The Porsche Panamera, BMW 7 Series, and Mercedes S Class are some of the vehicles with which the Maserati Quattroporte now competes. In this segment, vehicles like the Lexus LS and the Audi A8 also compete.
The 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine in the sixth-generation Maserati Quattroporte generates 523 HP and 524 lb-ft of torque. It has a top speed of 190 MPH and can accelerate from 0 to 60 MPH in 4.6 seconds. The Quattroporte gets a combined EPA estimated mileage of 17 MPG and a highway estimated mileage of 22 MPG.
1. First Generation Bentley Continental GT $214,000
The last but not the least car in Carmelo Anthony’s car collection is a white Bentley Continental GT that has been treated with some race spec upgrades as well as luxury additions.
The wheels contain a lot more spokes than usual and are larger than stock. Additionally, a separate spoiler is added to the boot to boost downforce.
The 6-liter W12 engine of the first-generation Bentley Continental GT cranks out 621 HP and 590 lb-ft of torque. It has a top speed of 200 MPH and can accelerate from 0 to 60 MPH in under 4.3 seconds.
For an engine this size, the first-generation W12 Continental GT’s estimated EPA mileage of 14 MPG in mixed driving and 19 MPG on the highway is respectable.
