Take a look at Donald Trump's extravagant car collection

Lamborghini Diablo

Trump once owned a 1997 Lamborghini Diablo, according to Goldasz, which he called "one of the most famous supercars from the Italian manufacturer’s illustrious history."

"Trump sold his Diablo a while back, but it did get some online coverage earlier this year when it appeared on eBay and was sold for as much as $460,000," he said. "The Lambo has been passed around to several owners since Trump parted with it, but to help ramp up its value, the car has received some special Trump-related treatment from subsequent owners, such as a unique exterior badge with his name on it."

Over time, Trump has owned the likes of the Mercedes-owned Maybach limousine and the more recent S600 saloon, according to Goldasz.

"Probably the most intriguing Mercedes which Donald has owned, though, is the SLR McLaren supercar," he said. "It was originally launched back in 2003, back when Mercedes and McLaren Automotive were close partners. The combined efforts of these brands resulted in the creation of a striking two-door grand tourer which boasted 617bhp as standard from a supercharged V8. The only things possibly more striking than that were the car’s Formula 1-esque nose and its big gullwing doors."

Cadillac Allante

A popular choice among the rich and famous in America, according to Goldasz, Trump has had more than one Cadillac, such as the Escalade SUV.

"He even had a pair of special edition Cadillac limousines named after him, known as the Trump Executive Series," he said

Another includes the Allante, a convertible V8 which "prioritised style over driving dynamics."

"According to Trump, Cadillac gave an Allante to him as a gift, and it was painted in [his] favourite colour, gold."

Tesla Roadster

Goldasz said that the Tesla Roadster sports car is a more surprising choice for Trump.

"While the Tesla Roadster is a sporty model, it is also fully-electric zero-emission vehicle. A ‘green’ car like this then seems an unlikely fit for a politician who is widely known to be a climate sceptic," he said.

"It’s also difficult (or hilarious, depending on your point of view) to picture Trump’s large six-foot-two body squeezing into the compact, low-slung Roadster, especially since it’s related to the famously dinky Lotus Elise."

24 Karat Gold Chopper

It may not be a car, but the 24 Karat Gold Orange County Chopper shows Trump's love of luxury vehicles — and gold.

"This is a customised Orange County Choppers motorcycle featuring parts made out of genuine gold," Goldasz said. "It was made by Paul Teutal Sr. who is one of the co-founders of Orange County Choppers."
