This is Steve Hamilton Car Collection and The Hamilton Collection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But he\u2019s not your run of the mill billionaire heir Steve. His tale is one of the most \u2018down-to-earth\u2019 rags-to-riches stories in the automotive realm. Steve, who grew up on welfare, built an empire from the ground up \u2013 founding SD Wheel and Fitment Industries \u2013 long before turning his childhood dreams into a reality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, the value of his collection exceeds $30 million but it is his \u201cDriven to Giving Back\u201d spirit that makes this collection truly human. So let\u2019s lift the lid on the top dogs, the hypercars, and the mind-boggling price tags of one of the world\u2019s most renowned garages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Bugatti Duo<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The centerpiece of the range is always the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. It\u2019s 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\u2002car battles in the early 2000s. These two together are like two different eras of physics-defying speed smiling at each other.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport: The $4 Million Masterpiece\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is without question the crown jewel of Steve\u2019s current collection. Not like his old Bugattis, this one Steve had a hand in spec\u2019ing right from the factory. He selected Grigio Telesto, a well known Lamborghini grey, which makes the car a \u201cstealth bomber.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2496\" src=\"https:\/\/badicar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/The-Bugatti-Chiron-Super-Sport-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/badicar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/The-Bugatti-Chiron-Super-Sport-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/badicar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/The-Bugatti-Chiron-Super-Sport-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/badicar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/The-Bugatti-Chiron-Super-Sport-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/badicar.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/The-Bugatti-Chiron-Super-Sport.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Power:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It\u2019s got the mythical 8.0L Quad-turbocharged W16 engine churning out a mind-boggling 1,578 horsepower.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Speed:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It has an electronic speed limit of 273 mph. It is more than a car, it\u2019s a land-based jet aircraft.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bugatti Veyron: the father of hypercars\u2002<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u201cVeyron\u201d name is now synonymous with hypercars. Prior to the Chiron reigning supreme on the streets, the Veyron turned the\u2002supercar playbook on its head in 2005. Steve keeps this one around just for the raw, unadulterated driving fun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Why it\u2019s iconic: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was the\u2002first production car to go over 400 km\/h.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Why Steve loves it:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> With 1,001 horsepower, it might be \u201cslower\u201d than the Chiron on paper, but it\u2019s a more visceral experience and comes with a history you can actually feel behind the wheel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hybrid Icons<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steve&#8217;s garage is packed with the \u201cHoly Trinity\u201d 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 \u2014 more than most people\u2019s 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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ferrari LaFerrari: The Hybrid Royalty<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Part of the &#8220;Holy Trinity&#8221;, the LaFerrari is hands down the best looking car Steve owns.
