27 Ugliest Cars Owned By Celebrities
A friend once spotted a Grammy-winning rapper stepping out of what looked like a melted marshmallow on wheels.
Turns out it was a custom-built car that cost more than most houses, and somehow looked like it had been designed during a power outage.
Celebrities might have the money and the fame, but when it comes to picking cars, some of them steer straight into the bizarre.
Style? Optional. Taste? Questionable. But confidence? Off the charts.
1. George Clooney’s Tango T600
Hollywood’s heartthrob drives what looks like a car that’s been squished in a trash compactor! The ultra-narrow Tango T600 resembles half a vehicle that somehow made it onto the road.
Despite its $108,000 price tag, this electric oddity is barely wider than a motorcycle.
George claims it’s environmentally conscious, but we suspect he just enjoys watching paparazzi do double-takes when he emerges from this glorified golf cart.
2. Austin Mahone’s Rust-Wrapped BMW i8
Deliberately making your $150,000 supercar look like it’s been abandoned in a swamp for decades takes a special kind of vision.
Pop star Austin Mahone wrapped his futuristic BMW i8 in a fake rust vinyl that had car enthusiasts clutching their pearls.
The contrast between the i8’s spaceship design and what appears to be advanced tetanus is jarring. Imagine explaining to your insurance company that your car is supposed to look like it’s decomposing!
3. Deadmau5’s Nyan Cat Ferrari 458 Italia
Ferrari nearly had a corporate meltdown when DJ Deadmau5 wrapped his 458 Italia in a rainbow Nyan Cat meme design.
The Italian automaker was so horrified they sent a cease-and-desist letter demanding he remove their prancing horse badges from this pop-tart cat catastrophe.
Dubbed the “Purrari,” this six-figure sports car looked like a child’s fever dream come to life. Ferrari’s legal team probably still wakes up in cold sweats thinking about it.
4. Justin Bieber’s Leopard-Print Audi R8
Nothing screams “subtle taste” like wrapping your $180,000 German supercar in leopard print! The Biebs transformed his sleek Audi R8 into something that looks like it belongs in a 1970s pimp’s garage.
Car enthusiasts wept as this precision-engineered machine was forced to prowl the streets of LA looking like an escaped zoo animal.
The worst part? This wasn’t even his first crime against automotive aesthetics – just one in his long rap sheet of questionable car choices.
5. Chris Brown’s Camo Lamborghini Aventador
Military camouflage is designed to help vehicles blend in with their surroundings. Chris Brown’s camo-wrapped Lamborghini Aventador achieves the exact opposite effect – it’s impossible to miss.
The $500,000 Italian supercar looks like it’s ready for battle in a war where the enemy is good taste.
Brown even added red accents, because apparently a full camo wrap wasn’t attention-grabbing enough for LA traffic.
6. Will.i.am’s Custom 1958 VW Beetle
The Black Eyed Peas frontman took a charming vintage Beetle and transformed it into what can only be described as a mechanical identity crisis.
This bizarre creation cost over $900,000 and looks like it can’t decide if it’s a Beetle, a Porsche, or an alien spacecraft.
With suicide doors, a chopped roof, and inexplicable curves, this custom monstrosity is what happens when someone says “yes” to every suggestion at the custom shop. The poor Beetle died for Will.i.am’s automotive sins.
7. Nicki Minaj’s Pink Lamborghini Aventador
Barbie’s midlife crisis has arrived in the form of Nicki Minaj’s blindingly pink Lamborghini. This candy-colored nightmare turns heads for all the wrong reasons as it screams down the street.
The $400,000 Italian thoroughbred was never meant to look like a giant piece of bubblegum.
Mechanics probably need sunglasses just to perform oil changes on this eye-searing creation. Minaj clearly subscribes to the philosophy that if you’re going to be noticed, subtlety is your enemy.
8. Paris Hilton’s Pink Bentley Continental GT
Before Nicki’s pink Lambo, there was the OG pink disaster – Paris Hilton’s Pepto-Bismol-colored Bentley Continental GT.
This $200,000 British luxury car was transformed into what looks like My First Princess Car™ for adults. The custom pink paint job extends to the wheels, grille, and even interior.
Adding insult to injury, the seats feature embroidered Paris Hilton logos. Bentley executives probably needed therapy after seeing what happened to their handcrafted masterpiece.
9. JoJo Siwa’s Custom BMW 4 Series Convertible
Imagine a unicorn ate nothing but rainbow candy, then vomited all over a perfectly good BMW. That’s basically what JoJo Siwa did to her 4 Series convertible.
Wrapped in a custom design featuring her own face, rainbows, stars, candy, and peace signs, this car announces its arrival from three blocks away.
The interior continues the assault with custom rainbow upholstery. BMW’s German engineers likely need a stiff drink whenever they see photos of this creation.
10. Aretha Franklin’s Pink Cadillac
The Queen of Soul owned a pink Cadillac that became infamous for all the wrong reasons. While Aretha had undeniable musical talent, her automotive taste hit some sour notes with this cotton candy cruiser.
The massive boat-like Caddy in shocking pink made subtle entrances impossible.
Franklin reportedly loved the attention it brought, but car enthusiasts weren’t showing much R-E-S-P-E-C-T for this particular choice. At least it inspired some great lyrics!
11. John Cena’s InCENArator
Wrestling superstar John Cena created a monster called the “InCENArator” – a custom Corvette that looks like it was designed by an 8-year-old with unlimited crayons.
This automotive abomination features bizarre proportions, gullwing doors, and a nose that resembles a vacuum cleaner.
Reportedly costing over $350,000, this one-off creation proves that sometimes you shouldn’t let your childhood car dreams come true.
The InCENArator is so outlandish that it actually makes his lime green Lamborghini look tasteful by comparison.
12. Takeoff’s Neon Lamborghini Aventador
Late Migos rapper Takeoff took his Lamborghini Aventador and dipped it in what can only be described as radioactive slime.
The neon green wrap is so bright it probably violates light pollution ordinances in several states. As if the eye-searing color wasn’t enough, he added contrasting black accents that make it look like a mutant insect.
When your supercar can be seen from space and potentially cause traffic accidents due to temporary blindness, perhaps it’s time to reconsider your aesthetic choices.
13. Justin Bieber’s Chrome Fisker Karma
Justin Bieber’s chrome-wrapped Fisker Karma turned this sleek hybrid into a rolling mirror that blinds fellow drivers and probably confuses birds.
The full chrome treatment makes it look like the T-1000 from Terminator morphed into a car.
Besides being a driving hazard by reflecting sunlight into other drivers’ eyes, the wrap completely ruins the elegant lines of the original design.
Even Bieber’s friend Sean Kingston called it “spaceship status” – though “gaudy disco ball” might be more accurate.
14. Will.i.am’s Custom DeLorean
Will.i.am strikes again with another automotive crime – this time butchering a classic DeLorean.
The Black Eyed Peas frontman took the iconic Back to the Future car and transformed it into something that looks like it came from a dystopian future where design principles don’t exist.
With widened fenders, strange proportions, and a completely redesigned front end, this custom job cost over $700,000. Doc Brown would need more than 1.21 gigawatts to erase this abomination from the timeline.
15. Dennis Rodman’s Graffiti Hummer H1
Basketball bad boy Dennis Rodman took the already excessive Hummer H1 and turned it into a rolling canvas of chaos.
Covered in multicolored graffiti featuring naked women, bizarre patterns, and his own face, this vehicle screams for attention louder than Rodman’s hair ever did.
The military-designed vehicle looks like it was attacked by a gang of rogue art students with spray paint.
Subtlety has never been Rodman’s strong suit, but this Hummer takes his flamboyant personality to new, terrifying heights.
16. Will.i.am’s Custom Tesla Model S
Apparently not satisfied with ruining just two classic cars, Will.i.am decided to massacre a Tesla Model S as well.
The music producer transformed Elon Musk’s sleek electric sedan into what looks like a deformed Transformer mid-transformation.
With bizarre front-end modifications, strange body panels, and inexplicable design choices, this custom Tesla cost a reported $900,000.
For that price, he could have bought nine standard Teslas – and the world would have been spared this electric eyesore.
17. Xzibit’s Gumball 3000 Lamborghini Gallardo
“Yo dawg, I heard you like bad taste, so I put bad taste all over your Lamborghini!” The Pimp My Ride host should have known better, but Xzibit wrapped his Gallardo in a gaudy gold and black scheme for the Gumball 3000 rally.
Complete with giant sponsor logos and tacky graphics, this Italian thoroughbred was transformed into a rolling billboard.
The irony of the man famous for excessive car modifications creating one of the most tasteless Lamborghinis wasn’t lost on automotive enthusiasts.
18. Britney Spears’ Lifted Pink Hummer H2
During her infamous 2007 era, Britney added to her troubles with a lifted pink Hummer H2 that looked like Barbie joined a monster truck rally.
This gas-guzzling behemoth featured not just a pink paint job, but pink wheels, pink interior, and pink accessories. The princess-themed military vehicle stood out even in celebrity-obsessed LA.
With its massive size and cotton candy color scheme, this Hummer embodied the excess of mid-2000s celebrity culture. Even Paris Hilton probably thought it was a bit much.
19. Will.i.am’s Custom Volkswagen Beetle (Again)
Yes, Will.i.am appears multiple times on this list because his automotive crimes are truly prolific.
Another of his Beetle creations looks like it’s wearing an ill-fitting suit made of random car parts from five different vehicles.
With a bizarre front end, strange proportions, and inexplicable design elements, this custom job reportedly cost over $850,000.
The result is a car that automotive designers use to scare young design students – “Design like this and you’re expelled!”
20. Darren McFadden’s Purple Buick Centurion Donk
Former NFL running back Darren McFadden took a vintage Buick Centurion and committed automotive sacrilege.
His “donk” creation features comically large 30-inch chrome wheels, a purple paint job bright enough to cause retinal damage, and a lift kit that makes entering the vehicle an Olympic sport.
The massive wheels and tiny tires give it the proportions of a child’s drawing.
This purple people eater probably handles like a drunken hippopotamus on roller skates, but at least you’ll never lose it in a parking lot.
21. Chris Brown’s Widebody Lamborghini Aventador
Making his second appearance on our list, Chris Brown modified another Lamborghini with a Liberty Walk widebody kit that makes it look like the car is having an allergic reaction.
The comically flared fenders and excessive body modifications destroy the clean lines of the Italian supercar.
Finished in an attention-seeking red with black accents, this Aventador resembles a Hot Wheels toy designed by a sugar-hyped 5-year-old.
Brown seems determined to ensure no one mistakes his cars for stock vehicles – mission accomplished in the worst way possible.
22. Snooki’s Custom Cadillac Escalade
Jersey Shore’s Snooki took a perfectly normal Cadillac Escalade and “Snookified” it into a leopard-print nightmare.
The massive SUV was wrapped in leopard print outside, leopard print inside, with hot pink accents because apparently one type of visual assault wasn’t enough.
The interior featured custom pink stitching with Snooki’s name embroidered on the headrests.
This rolling testament to early 2010s reality TV excess probably caused more than a few fender benders from distracted drivers doing double-takes.
23. Flo Rida’s Gold Chrome Bugatti Veyron
Rapper Flo Rida took one of the most expensive cars ever made – the $1.7 million Bugatti Veyron – and wrapped it in gold chrome. It’s like putting ketchup on a Michelin-starred meal.
The reflective gold finish turns this engineering masterpiece into a gaudy trinket that would make King Midas wince.
Bugatti spent thousands of hours perfecting the Veyron’s aerodynamics and aesthetics, only for Flo Rida to make it look like an oversized Christmas ornament.
24. Dennis Woodruff’s Hand-Decorated Art Cars
B-list actor Dennis Woodruff turned his cars into rolling billboards covered in hand-painted self-promotion, phone numbers, and bizarre artwork.
These “art cars” roam Los Angeles plastered with amateur paintings, photos, and messages begging for acting work.
Woodruff’s most famous creation, a Lincoln covered in photographs, trinkets, and handwritten notes, looks like a hoarder’s house on wheels.
These mobile eyesores serve as both transportation and tragic testament to the desperate side of Hollywood dreams.
25. 6ix9ine (Tekashi69) – Multicolored Paint-Splattered Lamborghini Aventador
Resembling a rainbow that violently exploded on wheels, rapper Tekashi69’s Lamborghini Aventador hurts the eyes from every possible angle.
The once-sleek Italian supercar now sports a chaotic splash of neon colors that look like someone knocked over an entire paint store during a tornado.
Valued at over $400,000 before the questionable makeover, this Lambo features random splatters of pink, blue, green, and yellow that make it impossible to miss – or forget, unfortunately.
The rapper reportedly paid an additional $65,000 for this custom paint job.
26. John Lennon’s Psychedelic Rolls-Royce Phantom V
Imagine driving down Abbey Road in a vehicle that looks like it swallowed an entire flower shop!
The late Beatles legend commissioned artists to transform his dignified British luxury car into a hippie dream (or nightmare, depending who you ask).
The once-elegant black Phantom was hand-painted with swirling floral designs, zodiac symbols, and psychedelic patterns that perfectly captured the spirit of the 1960s counterculture movement.
Lennon’s artistic statement on wheels shocked the British establishment and outraged traditional Rolls-Royce owners.
27. Lil Uzi Vert’s Chrome-Wrapped Anime Bugatti Veyron
Blinding pedestrians and fellow drivers alike, this monstrosity takes automotive excess to new heights!
The rapper dropped approximately $1.7 million on a Bugatti Veyron only to encase it in mirror-like chrome that reflects everything from streetlights to horrified expressions of passersby.
Not satisfied with merely creating a moving mirror, Uzi plastered the supercar with colorful anime character decals, creating a jarring visual clash between high-end engineering and juvenile cartoon aesthetics.
The reflective wrap makes photography nearly impossible without sunglasses.
