Being distinguished is fun but being an auto enthusiast like Usher, takes the game to a whole new level. He is not only popular for winning eight Grammy Awards, or having sold more than 65 million records, or even judging ‘The Voice’ but also for his love – or crazy love – towards his rides. All of his vehicles are mostly rigged to some extent, whether it’s the engine, interior or full body – he loves all of his rides so much and enjoys driving them around.
His cars are not the cheap ones, all of them are pretty expensive and after the alteration made, they become even more valuable. His latest master piece is the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG which is wearing a yellow dress and a sporty hatchback guise. This new car of his boasts a 2.0-litre turbocharged direct-injected four-cylinder engine which is capable of 355 horsepower and generating 332 lb-ft of torque. It is backed by an AMG Speed shift DCT seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. This car is capable of reaching 62 mph in just 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h.
The usual Mercedes A45 AMG is AMG’s smallest engine product line which has plenty of distinctions like being the very first car using a 2.0-litre turbo engine, being the first compact hatchback and being the first of AMG cars to utilise a FWD or front-wheel drive system. But this specific car has another distinction that no other Mercedes in the world has, Usher himself worked on this car with the team of mechanics at AMG workshop.
Usher has plenty of other expensive rides in his driveway and some of them are the Porsche Carrera GT, a convertible Ferrari, MINI Cooper, Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG and SLS.
