10 2015 Polaris Slingshot

In his own words, Snoop Dogg refers to the Polaris Slingshot as the "Batmobile". The Slingshot is probably the cheapest car in Snoop's extensive car collection. Perhaps it is the unique appearance of the vehicle that made Snoop fall for it. The three-wheeled car is a distinctive one by all means. With two wheels at the front and one at the back, the Polaris Slingshot houses a 2.4-liter four-cylinder EcoTec engine that spews around 170 horses.

The car weighs significantly less at 1,743 pounds making it a comfortable option to drive around. Snoop Dogg grabbed his "batmobile" in 2015 for nearly $26,000 and right away sent it to the nearest garage for upgrades and a fine paint job.

9 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8

The American automotive world has always been aware of Snoop Dogg's love for cars. Safe to say, they have often tried to milk the opportunity and get the rapper on board to test their cars and promote the event on a big scale. Renowned American car company —Dodge — once pulled this stunt in 2008. Dodge invited the "Who Am I" artist to test drive its iconic Dodge Challenger SRT8. Snoop loved the car so much that he took one home and added it to his collection.

Staying true to his American self and his love for muscle cars, Snoop took home this American classic with a 6.4-liter Supercharged V-8 HEMI engine.

You cannot be a car-loving millionaire without owning a Ferrari, can you? Well, that brings us another expensive and high-performing car under Snoop's belt — the 2009 Ferrari 458 Italia. The chrome red car has bits of black tint over the chassis and truly belongs to the "Ferrari family" in terms of design. The model is no longer in production, making it another prized possession for the West Coast rapper. The Ferrari 458 Italia makes frequent appearances on Snoop's Instagram posts.

7 2006 Snoop Chrysler 300C

The late 90s and early 2000s saw the peak of Snoop Dogg's career and reputation. The rapper's fame attracted many multi-million endorsement deals and one such deal was with the Michigan-based automotive manufacturer — Chrysler. Snoop was contacted by Chrysler to be the ambassador of its cars. Needless to say, the rapper's involvement helped the company accumulate more profit via car sales. As a token of gesture, Chrysler gifted Snoop with a 300C in 2006.

The popular car is a "celebrity thing". From fellow rapper Dr. Dre to former President Barack Obama, all owned a 300C. However, Snoop felt the 300C did not fit his taste, so he got the car low-key modified to suit himself. The final product was lowered, fitted with chrome rims, blacked-out tail lights, and windows, and has the word "DUB" plastered all over the window and trunk. The car is endearingly called Snoop Chrysler 300C.

6 2011 Ford Mustang GT Funkmaster Flex Edition

The Ford Mustang GT Funkmaster Flex Edition is a drool-worthy collector's item. Snoop Dogg is famous for getting his rides customized to suit him better. This part is usually handled by Michel Rich, a.k.a., Big Slice. However, Big Slice had no part to play in re-designing Snoop's iconic Ford Mustang GT. In 2011, Ford invited East-Coast DJ Funkmaster Flex to customize the West-Coast Legends Snoop Dogg's Mustang GT.

5 Rolls-Royce Phantom VII

Deep-pocketed celebs got to own a Rolls-Royce, don't they? The West-Coast rapper had to own a Rolls-Royce, and it couldn't have been anything but a Phantom. The Rolls-Royce Phantom is the most expensive production vehicle in Snoop Dogg's garage. The vehicle costs six-figure and possesses tailored covers and embroidery. The Phantom reflects the rapper's self-built luxury and prosperity. The Series-I Rolls-Royce Phantom VII houses a 6.75-liter naturally aspirated V-12 engine.

It is a machine that resonates with performance and the highest level of luxury. The base price of this model is around $343,000 but considering the customization as per Snoop Dogg's preferences, the price has to go over and beyond that number.
