McLaren Formula 1 driver Lando Norris has opened up on his impressive car collection, revealing which of the line-up he is most proud of and detailing his shared love of cars with his father.
After reluctantly admitting that he currently owns roughly 16 cars during an appearance on Quadcast, a podcast from the company he founded, Quadrant, Norris chose his Lamborghini Miura as the car that means the most to him.
Norris’s Miura is an original P400, powered by a 3,929cc V12, and is one of just 762 ever produced. It’s reportedly valued at £2million.
“I love historic [cars] more than modern cars,” the McLaren F1 driver explained.
“My favourite car? The one that’s meant the most to me, the car I’m most proud of, is my Lamborghini Miura. I think it’s one of the most beautiful cars ever made.
“This was my first proper gift to myself of like, I’m going to spend a little bit of money and buy a very nice car.”
Another unique car in his collection is his chrome Shelby Cobra, which he drove to the 2024 British Grand Prix.

“There’s maybe a couple that I’m like, I just have to – my Cobra, for instance. I was like, I need to drive a Cobra. And I drove it into Silverstone and I was like, yeah, this is the coolest. It is the loudest thing in the world.”
The 25-year-old grew up around his father’s passion for racing and cars, which he now loves sharing with his parents.
“I grew up liking cars. My dad loved them when he was younger,” Norris continued. “When he was younger, he loved them, and he had a passion for them. And now I almost get to share his love for cars.
“And we get to travel the world, and my dad and my mum come to quite a few of the races, especially my dad. And now I get to live his dream, I think, of when he was younger, because him and his dad used to go to some of the races, and they were like, this is the coolest thing ever.
“So I think that’s why my dad loves it so much, as he’s always loved the cars, but now he gets to experience it kind of through me. So I think that’s pretty cool for him.”
Other cars in Norris’s extensive collection include a McLaren 765LT, Ferrari F40, Porsche Carrera GT, McLaren P1, and a modified Land Rover.
