Let’s admire the unique car collection of Beyonce and Jay-z with a car that is more than 40 years old
BEYONCE and Jay-Z have not only amassed an impressive music career but a phenomenal car collection as well.

The couple has now been together for more than two decades.
The duo also became parents to Blue Ivy in 2012, after four years of marriage, and welcomed twins Sir and Rumi in June 2017.
Their car collection boasts luxury vehicles with room for their brood and motors that have been used in their music videos.
From Maybachs to a Rolls Royce, let’s take a peek at the car couple’s jaw-dropping fleet.
2005 Ferrari F430 Spider

Jay-Z’s love for the Spider is how it got to star in the Show Me What you Got music video back in 2006.
“The Ferrari’s all-aluminum, 32-valve V-8 produces commendable horsepower (483) for its relatively diminutive size (4308 cc), but its exhaust note destroyed our finely calibrated sound meters, which we judged unacceptable,” reports Motor Trend.
“Acceleration to 60 miles per hour is appreciably better than average–comparable with recent Estes model rockets we’ve tested–but produces significant and unflattering facial distortion.”
2006 Pagani Zonda F
One of the couple’s most treasurable vehicles in their collection, only 25 of this car was made.

The F stands for Argentine racing car driver Juan Manual Fangio, who won the Monaco Grand Prix twice.
“The F Roadster combines the coupe’s performance with open air driving and fine craftsmanship. Pagani says their cars have a soul and, when looking at the details, a Zonda is a sight to behold,” says Supercars.
“Each is a carbon fibre masterpiece and the Roadster has been reinforced with a chrome-molybdenum alloy roll-bar for safety and piece of mind.”
2010 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport

The Halo singer gifted her husband a $2million Bugatti for his 41st birthday.
The supercar is a “36-pound transparent polycarbonate roof that is removed with help from a friend. There’s also a black canvas tarp with carbon-fiber bows that covers the cockpit like a Nicoderm patch,” per Cars and Drivers.
“By twisting a glossy aluminum and carbon-fiber rod that is threaded at one end—the rod probably costs more than a new Toyota Yaris—you slowly unpucker the canvas like an umbrella and snap it into place, then stow the rod inside a tube in the cockpit.”
2004 Maybach Exelero
