Steph Curry has undoubtedly made a splash in the basketball world. However, he has gained a reputation in the world of automobiles as well. Other than being a lover of sleek rides and overall car enthusiast, Curry has managed to keep a low-key persona as far as the NBA is concerned. He keeps his nose clean, and is known for his humble, gracious character. One of the best shooters to ever play in the league, Curry maintains fans both on and off the court. His choice fleet of vehicles is just another reason to admire the man.

Porsche GT3 RS

Curry’s most current favorite ride is a smooth street rod with ample power. The red GT3 RS pushes limits of speed and handling. With 500 hp at 8250 RPM, this slick ride goes from 0-60 in a mere 3.1 seconds. Although targeted to those who like speed, the interior still offers enough comfort for city drivers. There is an ascending center console, easily-reachable controls and all the style Porsche offers. Curry is definitely enjoying the new car, and has even been sighted in Oakland pumping his own gas.

Mercedes G-Wagon

Something about the Mercedes G-Wagon draws celebrities to it like flies to honey. Curry’s 2009 G55 has been customized, sporting detailed features like new rims and custom chrome. With its military background, the G55 has excellent off-road capabilities, although it doesn’t often get to use them with the average owner. Some things the G-Wagon has is excellent roominess, fun technological toys, a refined luxury interior and the power to eat up a variety of terrains, including the urban jungle.

Porsche Panamera

The GT3 RS isn’t exactly ideal for day-to-day activities, especially hauling around the kiddos. That’s where the Porsche Panamera comes in. An obvious Porsche fan, Curry also has a black Panamera. The more sedate ride has top-notch accessories, performance and styling. The base price tag ranges between $115,000 and $270,000 depending on your model of choice. It hasn’t been a popular car for critics, but sports stars and music moguls are big fans—and isn’t that all that matters?

Range Rover  

It’s often difficult to keep up with celebrity’s car du jour. Curry was photographed with a white Range Rover with a custom painted trim and 22” Adventus Forged wheels. The Range Rover is a classic vehicle that graces many athletes’ garages. Range Rover is another traditionally off-road SUV that has become a sought after luxury ride. Known for its comfort and room, it’s an ideal choice for NBA players and their tall frames.

California Wheels

California Wheels is an avid supporter of the Golden State Warriors, and in return, the team also utilizes this well-reputed business. Steph Curry has had his rides serviced, customized and decked out at California Wheels. The business specializes in accessories, suspension, wheels, tires and car care services.

Cars for Others

One thing that makes Curry so likeable is his willingness to give back. In 2015, Curry gave the East Oakland Youth Development Center a new Kia Sorento. Their old gas-guzzling van wasn’t getting the job done, and that’s when Curry stepped in. The new Sorento will give the center a nice 21 City/29 Highway MPG to get kids to testing as well as the ability to pick up snacks and do other organizational errands. The Sorento ranges from $25,000 to 42,000, seats up to seven and has multiple configurations that allow it to haul plenty of people and cargo. It’s a sweet ride, and as members of the youth center say, the nicest ride on the block.

Curry’s collection, like his career, is likely far from finished. Maybe he’ll stick with Porsche, or expand to try out another luxury car brand. No matter what he does, his collection of rides will be as fun to watch as he is on the court.
