If you’ve spent any time in the auto section of YouTube, you’ve probably seen a garage that appears more like a cathedral of carbon than a parking garage. This is Steve Hamilton Car Collection and The Hamilton Collection.
But he’s not your run of the mill billionaire heir Steve. His tale is one of the most ‘down-to-earth’ rags-to-riches stories in the automotive realm. Steve, who grew up on welfare, built an empire from the ground up – founding SD Wheel and Fitment Industries – long before turning his childhood dreams into a reality.
Today, the value of his collection exceeds $30 million but it is his “Driven to Giving Back” spirit that makes this collection truly human. So let’s lift the lid on the top dogs, the hypercars, and the mind-boggling price tags of one of the world’s most renowned garages.
The Bugatti Duo
The centerpiece of the range is always the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. It’s a 1,500+ horsepower masterpiece that Steve famously borrowed to keep his money tied up in sky high valuations for other ventures. Sitting next to it is the Bugatti Veyron, the car that reignited the hyper car battles in the early 2000s. These two together are like two different eras of physics-defying speed smiling at each other.
The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport: The $4 Million Masterpiece
This is without question the crown jewel of Steve’s current collection. Not like his old Bugattis, this one Steve had a hand in spec’ing right from the factory. He selected Grigio Telesto, a well known Lamborghini grey, which makes the car a “stealth bomber.”
Power: It’s got the mythical 8.0L Quad-turbocharged W16 engine churning out a mind-boggling 1,578 horsepower.
Speed: It has an electronic speed limit of 273 mph. It is more than a car, it’s a land-based jet aircraft.
Bugatti Veyron: the father of hypercars
The “Veyron” name is now synonymous with hypercars. Prior to the Chiron reigning supreme on the streets, the Veyron turned the supercar playbook on its head in 2005. Steve keeps this one around just for the raw, unadulterated driving fun.
Why it’s iconic: It was the first production car to go over 400 km/h.
Why Steve loves it: With 1,001 horsepower, it might be “slower” than the Chiron on paper, but it’s a more visceral experience and comes with a history you can actually feel behind the wheel.
The Hybrid Icons
Steve’s garage is packed with the “Holy Trinity” of the 2010 titans. The Ferrari LaFerrari is probably the most emotional car in his stable, sporting a monthly finance payment of nearly $39,000 — more than most people’s yearly mortgage. Joining the Ferrari is the Porsche 918 Spyder, a blind engineering masterpiece that Steve loves for being able to drive on a daily basis despite its million-dollar price tag.
Ferrari LaFerrari: The Hybrid Royalty
Part of the “Holy Trinity”, the LaFerrari is hands down the best looking car Steve owns. It has also been one of his most discussed financial moves.
The Tech: It has a 6.3 L V12 coupled with an electric KERS system (Formula 1 tech) with a combined output of 950 horsepower.
The Price: With only 499 units produced, it’s extremely rare. Steve famously said his finance payment on the car is over $39,000 a month – the price of a new sedan every 30 days!
Porsche 918 Spyder: The Best Daily Hypercar
LaFerrari is like the drama queen, 918 Spyder is the somewhat nerdy dependable genius.
Versatility: Steve feels this is the most “under appreciated” vehicle in his garage. You can drive it silently in pure electric mode, or fire up the V8 to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.2 seconds.
The Reason: They’re reliable and comfortable, and are probably the most “usable” million-dollar car you can buy.
The Koenigsegg and Rimac New Wave
Steve isn’t just guzzling the “old guard.” He’s embraced the bleeding edge with the Rimac Nevera, the quickest-accelerating production electric car on Earth. He also has considerable stake in the Swedish firm, cocking a Koenigsegg Jesko and Gemera, the absolute ceiling of internal combustion and hybrid technology.
Rimac Nevera: The Silent Assassin
Steve’s foray into all-electric hypercars arrived with the Nevera.
Electric Fury: 914 horsepower from 4 electric motors.
The goods: 0-60 mph in 1.85 seconds Steve spec’d his with a neon green and black theme, which makes it look futuristic outside as the technology inside it.
Koenigsegg Jesko & Gemera: The Swedish Physics-Defying Supercar
Steve has a very large soft spot for the builds of Christian von Koenigsegg.
The Jesko: A track demon punching out to 1,600 horsepower (E85 fuel). It chases the 300 mph world record.
The Gemera: This is the world’s first “Mega-GT.” It’s a four-seat hypercar with a 3-cylinder engine and electric motors that produce over 1,700 horsepower. Steve is able to bring three friends along for an outrageously fast ride.
McLaren Senna: Track-Focused
Named for the legendary Ayrton Senna, this one is all about aerodynamics.
Design: It’s not “pretty” in the normal sense – every vent and wing exists to generate downforce.
The Drive: With a weight of barely 1,200kg, it’s extraordinarily light. Steve frequently touts this as the most aggressive, “race car for the road” in his stable.

Lamborghini Urus: Ultimate Support Vehicle
Every collector has to buy a car for the “boring” stuff — getting coffee, hauling camera gear, etc.
Performance SUV: Urus is no slouch with a twin-turbo V8. It’s a super-car in an SUV.
Role: This is Steve’s “Daily Driver.” It’s the beat stick of the Hamilton Collection, showing that a hypercar collector can occasionally require just a smidge of trunk space.

The Realities of Owning a $30M Collection
Steve Hamilton is exceptional in his frankness. But he doesn’t only show the glamour, he also shows the real costs.
Steve Hamilton Car Collection is about $800,000 a year to maintain, including insurance, climate-controlled storage and expert technicians. He’s transparent about borrowing, too. Rather than paying cash, he keeps his money tied up in businesses and real estate where he makes more than the loan interest.
Conclusion
The most human element about Steve Hamilton Car Collection isn’t the leather and horsepower — it’s the mission. Through The Hamilton Collection, Steve leverages these cars as “tools for good.” Be it by giving fans rides in a Bugatti, mounting giant charity events, or donating proceeds to local causes, the mission is to share the joy of the machines rather than hoard them in a dark vault.
Steve’s progression from a kid who couldn’t afford school field trips to the owner of a Pagani Utopia is a testament to what can be. He shares them: He treats customers, family members and the public as pit crews, so you feel like you’re all in the garage.
