Shakira Has A Car Collection Fit For Royalty
The Queen of Latin music rides in impressive luxury cars that you won’t see every day.
Picking out a car is a process that some people take on the spur of the moment. But for others, this is like choosing a best friend. You take as much time as you can to know the person before you can decide to stroll with them, let alone trust them. Shakira is one of those folks who turn their car selection process into something personal, and it’s about time we should too.
Shakira (whose full name is Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll) is a Colombian music star who has changed the music industry with some of the best pop and Latin music. She is known for her hit albums like Pies Descalzos, Laundry Service, and El Dorado, along with many singles, most of which have been certified gold and platinum internationally. The “Hips Don’t Lie” singer has been labeled as the Queen of Latin Music.
Aside from her commercial success in music and famous Middle-eastern Belly Dance, Shakira is a renowned entrepreneur, actress and philanthropist, who has influenced a lot of people around the world and has received well-deserved awards and nominations for all her hard work, dedication, and mᴀssive contributions.
With a net worth of $300 million, she is one of the richest stars in the industry. There are several ways Shakira spends her money, from her million-dollar mansions, her family, as well as to her charity union, and the Pies Descalzos (which translates to ‘Barefoot’) Foundation. But beyond this, Shakira loves cars. The pop star drives the finest wheels that represent her “She Wolf” charisma and overall flare.
The Queen of Latin music rides in impressive luxury cars that you won’t see every day.
Here’s a look at Shakira’s car collection.
Shakira Drives A 2014 Audi A7 Sportback
The Audi A7 Sportback is a popular car that was produced in 2014 after the huge market success of the Audi A7. Carrying on its sibling’s momentum, the four-door Sportback quickly found itself in dealerships around the world, and into Shakira’s garage, of course. The front fascia had a new grille and bumper, which showed the brand’s versatility. Also, LED headlights are available as an optional fragment, along with many changes on the interior and upgrades in technology features.
Unlike most of the brand’s line-ups, the A7 Sportback never inherited the old Mulтιтronic gearbox. Instead, it came with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission system to drive all wheels. Power-wise, you have the choice between 2 gasoline engines: a 2.0-liter TFSI 7AT (252 HP) and 3.0-liter TFSI Quattro 7AT (333 HP), as well as nine diesel engines, which produce horses ranging from 190 HP to 326 HP. The 2014 Audi A7 Sportback has an existing MRSP ranging from $64,500 to $66,900.
Shakira’s 2012 Mercedes Benz SLK250 Has A Sweet Story Behind It
The 2012 Mercedes Benz SLK250 is one of Shakira’s special vehicles. This SLK 250 was given to Shakira by her boyfriend, the famous Spanish football player, Gérard Piqué, for her birthday in February when she turned 35 years. According to trace TV, the couple went to a retailer and left with the Mercedes Benz SLK 250, which Shakira picked out herself.
Worth $57,000, the 2012 Mercedes Benz SLK250 is equipped with a 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder turbo engine that produces 201 HP and a seven-speed auto transmission that drives the rear wheels. The Mercedes Benz SLK 250 has a top speed of 151 mph and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in as little as 6.6 seconds.
The interior of the SLK is outshining its opponents with an infotainment system that comes with satellite navigation, a web browser, and voice control, along with many other features, all of which can be controlled from a 7-inch screen.
Shakira’s Underestimated Car: Tesla Model S
The Tesla Model S is a state-of-the-art vehicle that is very popular today, and not only because of its all-electric powertrain but its sleek design, comfortable interior, and ample performance on the road. In spite of its great properties that we can talk about all day, it’s still not a car you would expect to spot in a celebrity’s garage, but Shakira is an exception, along with other entertainers like Miley Cyrus, Will Smith, and many more.
In terms of its muscle, the Model S is powered by an electric motor, which can produce a staggering 362 horsepower. It comes in 4 models, categorized by their battery capacities: 60-, 75-, 90-, and 100-kWh. All models have an all-wheel-drive system except the 60-kWh model.
You will love the big 17-inch touchscreen in the middle of the dashboard, on which you will control the navigation, music, and more. It also comes with a rearview camera, Wi-Fi connectivity, and keyless ignition.
Shakira Drives A 2018 BMW X6
The 2018 BMW X6 is one luxury vehicle that we can only categorize as “timeless”. Just like Shakira, her X6 never goes out of fashion. Its all-leather interior, safety features, and engine power make it a suitable choice for a family.
The BMW is equipped with a straight 6-cylinder engine, which can cough out 300 horses at 5800 RPM. This is driven by an 8-speed automatic or manual transmission. It also has a maximum towing capacity of 6000 pounds. That’s right, guys. This thing can tow just about anything. But all this doesn’t come cheap. According to Cars US news, the 2018 BMW X6 costs $53,036, but that’s not all.
In their efforts to find out just why the BMW X6 is so expensive, the Bellingham AutoAc Service pointed out to be the repairs and related costs. So, you would certainly need to have deep pockets if you want to keep an X6, and for Shakira, this shouldn’t be a hᴀssle.
Other than that, the BMW X6 is a great luxury SUV that offers comfort, style, and performance on a silver platter. We recommend the xDrive50i model.
The 2015 Mercedes Benz SL550 Lights Up Shakira’s Garage
Shakira also owns a Mercedes Benz SL550, and she has been seen parking it around. Known for its swift acceleration, leather-padded luxurious interior, and charming ride, the 2015 Mercedes Benz SL550 is one of the top models you will enjoy driving, no matter the distance.
This luxury car comes in 4 distinct models: SL 550, SL 400, SL 63 AMG, and the SL 65 AMG. The SL 400 is equipped with a V6 engine, while the SL 550 and SL 63 AMG trims come with a V8 engine and a stronger V12 for the SL 65 AMG. You will also adore the COMAND infotainment system, the surround sound system made up of 11 speakers, and so on.
Price-wise, you should expect the SL550 to be around $57,000, but it still depends on a lot of factors, such as mileage, location, and condition. But owning an S-Clᴀss Benz does become pricy. Even though it’s a 2015 model, it still is a Mercedes Benz, after all.
