When purchasing a new vehicle, Eminem requires two things: fuel economy of at least eight miles per gallon and satellite navigation to prevent him from getting lost. There is quickness in addition to these basic requirements. An abundance of pace.

Today being his 48th birthday, Marshall Mathers III is an expert collector of Porsches and extremely rare Ferraris. Eminem can afford to stock his garage with exotica, considering he revolutionized hip-hop in the late 1990s, spread the genre throughout Middle America and the globe, and sold more records than any other artist in the 2000s. His four-wheeled Dirty Dozen is as follows…

Porsche 996 Turbo (1999)

The Slim Shady LP, which Eminem released in February 1999, achieved triple platinum certification by the conclusion of that calendar year. Consequently, he was able to vacate his mother’s mobile home situated on the infamous 8 Mile Road in Detroit and acquire a Porsche 911, which was considerably more socially astute. The 996 Turbo was a brute: the first water-cooled Carrera with forced-induction, its 3.6-liter flat-six engine developed 414 horsepower and was derived from the 1988 Le Mans-winning 911 GT1 racing car. After four years, Eminem retained this automobile before advancing one gear.

Ferrari 575M Maranello (2003)

During the late 1990s, Ferrari was collaborating with Michael Schumacher to reestablish its on-track prowess. On the road car front, chairman Luca di Montezemolo attempted to revive the brand’s classic aesthetic with a 275 GTB-inspired grand tourer featuring a V12 engine and long-nose design. Although the 550 Maranello resembled a shark, Pininfarina failed to perfect its snout. Then, in 2002, they attempted once more. Concurrently, Ferrari increased the engine’s output from 478 to 508 horsepower, implemented adaptive suspension, and enhanced the brakes and weight distribution. “M” in 575M represents “modified,” whereas the rapper’s given name, MM, inspired the moniker “Eminem.”

Porsche Carrera GT (2004)

Eminem demonstrated that he possesses “Guts Over Fear” by purchasing the iconic hypercar of the 2000s, a Porsche Carrera GT that left enthusiasts in awe. The German manufacturer established its new Leipzig factory in response to customer demand for this 5.7-liter V10-powered vehicle, which was initially unveiled as a concept at the Paris Motor Show in 2000. The vehicle generated 603 horsepower and experienced acceleration from 130 to 208 miles per hour in 10.8 seconds. Although they were exclusively available with a manual transmission, 1,270 of them were exported to the United States. Commemorating the legendary 917 Le Mans prototype, each 2004 model features a beechwood gear lever.

Ford GT (2005)

The intentionally provocative nature of Eminem’s lyrics has resulted in allegations against the musician, including misogyny, homophobia, sexual perversion, endorsing violence, and disparaging other personalities. Before pressuring Eminem to use its unreleased Fusion midsize sedan in the 2005 music video for “Ass Like That,” Ford Motor Company should have known that. As soon as they detected the explicit language, they withdrew it promptly. “There was no issue with Eminem; the issue was with Ford,” a spokesperson stated afterwards. Eminem subsequently resolved his own concerns regarding Ford and proceeded to procure one of the company’s GT halo vehicles. Constructed to commemorate Ford’s centenary, this 205-mph V8-powered vehicle paid homage to the GT40, which dominated Ferrari. In other words, it was an apt vehicle for a Detroit hellraiser and considerably, considerably cooler than a Fusion.

Aston Martin V8 Vantage (2006)

Commencing production in 2005, the Vantage was Aston Martin’s lightest vehicle in a number of years and was aimed at Porsche 911 purchasers with a penchant for James Bond. The Aston, which was conceptualized by Henrik Fisker, who subsequently developed the unfruitful Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid, successfully integrated aesthetically pleasing contours and identifiable family elements onto a compact and athletic framework. It was originally propelled by a 380bhp 4.3-liter V8 engine, and these early models are now available for a mere £25,000 (anyone interested?). Conversely, the 510bhp V12 variants are exceedingly desirable among collectors.

Ferrari 430 Scuderia (2008)

Eminem demonstrated his expertise in the Prancing Horse by upgrading from the standard F430 to the lighter, sharper, and more potent Scuderia variant, which he had collaboratively designed with Michael Schumacher. In sixty milliseconds, the paddle-shift transmission changes ratios and the mid-mounted V8 produces 503 horsepower. Pound for pound, it is one of our all-time favorite Ferraris and “Kings Never Die” signifies its status as a future classic.

Audi R8 Spyder (2011)

It demonstrates the gravity of Eminem’s collection that the R8 appears comparatively unremarkable in this company. Similar to Ford, the rapper has some prior experience with Audi. In 2011, he filed a lawsuit against the German automaker for unauthorized use of his song “Lose Yourself” in an advertisement for the A6 Avant. However, Audi’s actions that year did not prevent him from purchasing the Spyder model of their V10 supercar. A “Guilty Conscience” may have prompted Audi to provide him with the vehicle at no cost.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 (2011)

Eminem rhymes, “I roll like a boss, 911 Porsche the same color as cranberry sauce,” on “Love Me.” Indeed, his GT3 RS is painted white. Alongside the 430 Scuderia, the 493bhp 4.0, the final iteration of the remarkable 997 GT3, demonstrates that Slim Shady enjoys stripped-down track day machinery. This Porsche completed the Nordschleife in seven minutes and eighteen seconds, which was the fastest road-legal vehicle produced by the Stuttgart faithful until the GT2 RS of 2017.

Ferrari 599 GTO (2011)

An additional VIP-level Ferrari. From a total of 599 599 GTOs produced, 125 were shipped to the United States; they are exceedingly sought after by collectors. Lewis Hamilton acquired one and increased his investment by more than twofold. The 661bhp GTO, which was built upon the 599XX track-only vehicle, was Ferrari’s fastest-ever road car in 2011, surpassing the Enzo by one second on the Fiorano lap. There are 3.3 seconds to reach 62 mph, and the v-max is 208 mph. Driving it is not difficult, but it is extremely easy to “Just Lose It” if you are not experienced.

McLaren MP4-12C (2012)

In 2010, after developing the revolutionary F1 road car in the 1990s and collaborating with Mercedes on the aesthetically pleasing SLR, Formula One legends McLaren established their own production sports car company. Frank Stephenson, who also designed the Ferrari 430 (as well as the BMW Mini and the new Fiat 500), crafted the MP4-12C. A carbon-fibre monocoque inspired by Formula One and an in-house 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine comprised its core. It is common knowledge that Eminem seldom removes his McLaren from the garage. Considering the 12C’s somewhat unfavorable reputation for dependability, specifically with regard to its electrics, it is conceivable that the vehicle is currently awaiting recovery and is unable to commence.

Lamborghini Aventador (2014)

An MVP status is confirmed with an Aventador, the sacred grail of the hip-hop community. With its appearance in the music video for “Without Me” in 2002, Eminem elevated the Murciélago, its antecedent, to rap icon status. It is said that he spent £530,000 on his 690bhp Lambo, which he obtained just over a decade later, by claiming to have demanded the addition of numerous custom options to the 217mph demon car.

Porsche 911 GT2 RS (2019)

“Honestly, my dentist abhors the sight of me flossing.” “Pull a Pinto to the club as if it were a Porsche,” rapped Eminem on “W.T.P.” Although he had refrained from purchasing any new sports vehicles for several years, he had not yet resorted to purchasing a modest Ford hatchback. He experienced a 911 relapse in 2019 and subsequently purchased the GT2 RS. This supercar with 690 horsepower completed a circuit of the Nürburgring in six minutes and 47.25 seconds. At what speed does this 211 mph vehicle accelerate down 8 Mile Road? Over two minutes, one rhythm. A mere instant for one of the most rapid-witted rappers to recite the entirety of this 1,200-word article.
