For those who manage to reach the pinnacle of their sport due to hard work, dedication and in some cases a touch of genius, the marque of car or cars they choose often reflect their own drive for perfection and they choose the best of the best.

The fastest man on the planet obviously has a penchant for speed. This is quite apparent for Olympic Gold 100m and 200m medalist Usain Bolt, as he’s written off two BMWs, has recently acquired a Nissan GT-R, and has now added this Ferrari California in what looks like the “grigio ingrid” color to his collection. Let’s hope he keeps this beauty on the road.

Cameras spotted Tiger getting into his black Mercedes-Benz S65. I love that Tiger rolls in the S65 instead of the S63. Not that the S63 isn’t sick, but lets face it, the S65 is pretty badass. What do you think of his wheels?

According to news reports, Ronaldo is selling his Bentley Continental Speed and other cars he acquired while playing for Manchester United, ahead of his move to Spain to play for Real Madrid.

Greg Norman the golfer  with $14,484,458 won in his career has chosen the Land Rover Range Rover Sport (albeit a limited edition available only to a select few ).

Maria Shaparova was driving a Range Rover Sport Supercharged but has just been announced as the brand ambassador for Porsche.

Cars help athletes establish an image with fans, potential sponsors and teammates. One of the first things Atlanta Braves pitcher Kenshin Kawakami did when he moved from Japan was buy a black Maserati Grand Turismo S. He already owned a Lamborghini Murcielago, but he needed something more understated for driving in the U.S. The Maserati costs $135,000; the Lambo costs $219,000 more.

“My favorite thing about the car is how it looks, how it’s really luxurious but not too flashy,” Kawakami says. “It’s got a really refined, elegant look.”

Looks like Daniel Craig is taking full advantage of his “lifetime privileges” from the Aston Martin factory. After playing James Bond, Aston Martin told Craig he could essentially borrow anything he’d like, whenever he’d like. So why not take delivery of a new Aston Martin V12 Vantage Roadster on his birthday. Craig was spotted signing the papers outside his home last weekend.

The V12 Vantage is definitely an amazing ride but we’re not feeling the red — just doesn’t seem to suit the car if you ask us. What do you think? We say leave the red to the Ferrari’s!

After racking up three Bond films over the past seven years, Craig has apparently developed an affinity for James Bond’s ride of choice. As The Daily Mail tells us, Craig recently celebrated his 45th birthday by taking delivery of an Aston Martin V12 Vantage Roadster, though we doubt the car comes with the same “upgrades” as 007’s car.

Even sans machine guns, rocket launchers and an ejection seat, the limited-edition V12 Vantage Roadster delivers formidable performance. Its 6.0-liter V-12 engine serves up 510 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, which is enough to get the luxury drop-top from 0-60 mph in under 4.5 seconds, on the way to a top speed of 190 mph.

It’s not clear if the V12 Vantage Roadster was a gift from Craig’s wife, actress Rachel Weisz, or a gift to himself for reaching the five-years-short-of-half-a-century mark. It may even be a gift from Aston Martin, since the luxury automaker offered him the car of his choice back in 2008, following the release of Quantum of Solace.

In any case, we salute Craig’s properly British taste in automobiles, since we really can’t picture him behind the wheel of a Ferrari or a Lamborghini.

We are all aware of David Beckham’s exquisite collection of luxury cars, and it’s awesome to see his matte Porsche 911 out on the streets as he takes his sons for some frozen treats at Santa Monica’s PinkBerry. It looks like he has a thing for matte finishes, his black Escalade shares the same paintjob as his Porsche!

David Beckham recently welcomed a new baby girl to the family and what better way to commemorate her arrival than a with new Ferrari 612 Scaglietti and a small customized number ‘7’ on the side. Not so sure Harper will be going for any joy rides soon but we’re sure it will only be a matter of time before we see David in it.

Beckham’s at it again and this time he’s in a new McLaren MP4-12C Spider. Beckham was spotted cruising around Los Angeles in the new McLaren this past weekend. Definitely a nice addition to his collection don’t you think?

Shout out to William and Rebecca for the tip!
