Missy Misdemeanor Elliott has been a fixture in the rap world since 1991, which gives her an incredible 25 years in the industry. She is a talented songwriter, rapper, singer, dancer and producer. She also happens to has a deep and abiding love of cars.
Like the bulk of celebrity collectors, it’s difficult to know what Missy has at any given time. That said, it’s important to highlight the best of the best from over the years, especially since in 2012 she was thought of as one of the 20 biggest car collectors. Here are a few whips that have made her notable.
Purple Lamborghini Diablo
It’s a Lamborghini Diablo, and it’s purple. The Diablo was only produced from 1990-2001, with a mere 2,884 made. That makes it a nice collector’s item. The Diablo features Miss E.’s favorite feature: It’s fast! You can also expect Lamborghini’s signature styling, doors and power. The value of the Diablo is well over $200,000.
Lamborghini Aventador
What would you do if you had traded in a 2005 Bentley and plus put an additional cash deposit on a new Lamborghini, but the dealership wasn’t delivering? Well you’d sue, of course. And rightly so. That’s exactly what happened to Missy Elliott. She paid the money and didn’t get the product, and it happened to be the Lamborghini Aventador.
The Aventador is a beast. The most current model features 691 to 740 horsepower and retails for around $400,000. Missy’s may not have had all the most modern bells and whistles, but it was certainly still a sweet ride.
Lamborghini Gallardo
Missy Elliott seems to have a bit of a thing for the Lamborghinis. Here are some quick, readable stats about the Gallardo, one of which she owns:
- It’s a six-speed manual transmission or an advanced six-speed electro-hydraulically controlled semi-automatic robotized manual
- The model years are 2004-2014
- It’s classy and very, very fast
Spyker C8 Spyder
In the world of Missy's Lamborghinis, the Spyker C8 Spyder is sure to stand out—and this beautiful model certainly does. The Spyker C8 Spyder is a gorgeous convertible that oozes luxury. It doesn’t outclass in power, but it definitely has the types of finishes meant to make a bold statement. Some key thoughts from experts is that the C8 Spyder is, “light and exquisitely made,” “has a sense of precision,” and “offers a pure driving experience.” With very few made, the Spyker C8 Spyder is a drool-worthy addition to any garage.
The Ferrari Car Bed
Those that are old enough to remember Silver Spoons will most likely tell you about their envy for Ricky's car bed. Back in those days of innocently fun and entertaining sitcoms, everyone wanted one. Missy Elliott fulfilled that dream in adulthood with a swanky Ferrari bed of her own that made waves on MTV’s Cribs. Years later people still talk, Tweet and post about it all over the internet. Who knows why it made such a splash, but it did. Maybe it was the TV under the hood or the hidden shoe rack. Perhaps it was her unapologetic love of a one-of-a-kind, kid-inspired bed. But no matter what the reason, she proudly displayed it publicly along with her other fine interior decor.
Missy Elliott has had many, many cars over the years, including the Bentley, Lambos and many more. In fact, one year she bought three cars, which sparked her mother’s reaction of telling her to slow down on the car obsession. However, you can give Missy some credit as she tends to choose rides that have some exclusivity, and definitely hold their value over the years.
A true car collector understands the need to buy new rides on a regular basis, which is why they can fully support Miss E. Misdemeanor on her car endeavors. It will be interesting to watch and see what she comes up with next.
