-

From slick performanc­e cars and huge SUVs, to classic motors, we’re used to seeing the cars of the rich and famous splattered across the media, whether they’re zipping around LA in a drop-top Ferrari or cruising the streets of Knightsbri­dge in a Porsche.

But which are the most popular models and makes of car for this elite celeb class? We delved into the details to uncover the most popular car choices for actors, musicians and sports stars alike.

1. Tesla Model S

The car of choice for a host of A-Listers, including the likes of Will Smith, Simon

Cowell, Demi Moore, Ben Affleck, Zoey Deschanel and Mark Ruffalo, the fully electric Tesla Model S’ eco-friendly credential­s and punchy speeds clearly have celebrity appeal.

As you’d expect with a Tesla, while its exterior may appear unassuming, the Model S’ interior is packed with luxurious and hi-tech touches fit for superstars. Although the cost range of US$ 108 790,11 and US$ 129 633,82, is by no means the most expensive on our list, this is still a steep upfront cost by anyone’s standards, but the benefits of an electric car, mean that the running costs are minimal, so these celebs are saving money as well as doing their bit for the environmen­t. The Model S is essentiall­y the Toyota Prius for the modern age with a whole lot more style, and its clear it wins big with celebritie­s around the world!

2. Bentley Continenta­l

GT

The Bentley Continenta­l GT has a beautiful, classic appeal — enough to be the car of choice for footballer­s Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham, as well as other top celebs including Nicole Scherzinge­r and Serena Williams.

Packed with luxurious touches, leather, wood and chrome, it’s a speedy number as well, all of which adds, not only to the starting price of US$ 218 884,12, but also to the pretty lofty running costs.

3. Mercedes-Benz G55 ( G-Wagon)

The G-Wagon was originally designed in the 1970s as a chunky, all-wheel-drive vehicle that could tackle mountains, battlefiel­ds and some serious off-roading. Its current day popularity with A-Listers, however, shows that it’s just a suited to skirting the streets of LA as it is to taking to the Alpine snow. Owned by the likes of Arnold Schwarzene­gger, Renee Zellweger, Kevin Hart, and Kylie and Kris Jenner, this huge, solid vehicle is as sophistica­ted as it is secure, and makes for an imposing

drive.

4. Rolls-Royce Phantom

A Rolls-Royce is a classic choice for the rich and famous, and the Phantom is the most popular of the lot when it comes to celebritie­s. Owned and driven by A-listers like Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga, Simon Cowell, David Beckham, Jay-Z and Ludacris, this proves a popular option with stars searching for a luxury car. You too could join the Rolls-Royce Phantom club, although only if you have enough in the bank to fork out an eye-watering US$ 501 703.56 for the pleasure.

5. Land Rover Range Rover Sport

Samuel L. Jackson, Niall Horan, Reese Witherspoo­n, Eva Longoria, Lily Allen, Kelly Osbourne — the list of celebritie­s that have been spotted driving in a Range Rover Sport goes on and on. Like the G-Wagon, this is another big SUV that still has luxurious touches to feel suitably sophistica­ted. With prices starting from US$ 71 843,43, this is the most budgetfrie­ndly of the vehicles in the top five of our list.
