RAPPER-TURNED-ENTREPRENEUR LOVES CARS ALMOST AS MUCH AS WE DO
50 Cent became a star, moved into a mansion, embarked on several business ventures, and bought a whole bunch of cars. Here are five of our favorites in his collection:
1) Chevrolet Suburban
Sure, there are a lot of celebrities that can be seen driving around Hollywood in a Chevrolet Suburban. However, it’s likely that only a few of them are designed to have a bombproof undercarriage, like the ones that 50 Cent keeps in his garage. Moreover, based on a report from Forbes, the rapper has at least two of these.
2) Pontiac G8
Without a doubt, the Pontiac G8 that 50 Cent sometimes drives around is a real showstopper. For the record, it’s not your typical G8. Instead, it is a special edition G8 that was reportedly fully customized for the rapper. According to a report from Motor Authority, 50 Cent’s G8 is utilizing an LSX 427 engine. It was made using several production-based components that are also used in the 7.0-liter LS7 engine of the Corvette Z06. As you might expect, this particular G8 packs in a lot of power, having been tested to deliver more than 500 horsepower. Inside, the car is said to feature perforated red leather inserts. Moreover, it was fitted with a JBL audio system.
3) Bentley Mulsanne
For 50 Cent, having a standard 2012 Bentley Mulsanne is just not enough. Hence, he decided to make sure that his very own unit would be wrapped in gold. According to a report from XXL, the rapper once showed up to an event in Brooklyn in said golden beast. Under the hood of the 2012 Mulsanne is a 6.8-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 engine. According to a report from Car and Driver, it has an estimated output of 505 horsepower at 4,200 RPM and 752 lb-ft of torque at 1,750 RPM According to a report from Car and Driver.
