Super Bowl LVIII, which will take place on February 11 and pit the Kansas City Chiefs against the San Francisco 49ers, could interest car enthusiasts once again. As tradition dictates, the event will be synonymous with touching or spectacular automobile advertisements.
But some players are also known for their exceptional cars, including Patrick Mahomes, the starting quarterback of the Chiefs. Here are the pieces from his collection.
Genesis G70 2019 – Prices ranging between $42,000 and $57,500

Voted Best Pro Bowl Player in 2019 (MVP), Mahomes was rewarded with a Genesis G70. This compact luxury sedan is the South Korean alternative to the BMW 3 Series. It is powered by a twin-turbo V6, whose power reaches 368 horsepower, and offers a rather extensive list of equipment. For the record, Genesis is the luxury division of the Hyundai/Kia group.

The first SUV from the Rolls-Royce brand, the Cullinan offers endless customization options. In fact, the only limits are those of the imagination… and the wallet! Mahomes’ Cullinan therefore sports white paint and 26-inch rims, while the doors contain his signature and bib number. We don’t know the price of his vehicle, but we shouldn’t be surprised that the final bill exceeded $600,000.

Obviously, the Chiefs quarterback also has a taste for supercars, as revealed by the presence of a Ferrari 812 Superfast in his collection. This car lives up to its name very well, since its 6.5-liter, 789-horsepower V12 allows 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds as well as a top speed of 340 km/h. It represents the last Ferrari with a naturally aspirated V12 engine, with a spectacular sound.

The Ferrari 812 is not the only car with a prancing horse tattoo in the footballer’s garage, since he also gave his wife an F8 Tributo for her birthday in September 2021. The coupe delivers similar performance , courtesy of a 710-horsepower twin-turbo V8.

Like the F8, the Urus was a gift he gave to his wife. While the Dodge Grand Caravan and Toyota RAV4 serve as a family vehicle for ordinary people, this Lamborghini will undoubtedly be the car of choice for driving their children, Sterling and Bronze, to school. One thing is certain, with 641 horsepower under their right foot, they will never arrive late!
It will be interesting to see what gems are added to Patrick Mahomes’ garage over the next few years. With the largest contract in the history of the National Football League ($477 million through 2031, not including potential bonuses), partnerships and investments in real estate, he will play his fourth Super Bowl on Sunday evening in five years.
This will be an opportunity for the quarterback to win his second consecutive NFL championship, and his third in five years. Good game!
