To make them livable and usable today, he has done extensive restorations on them. That requires fine judgement and passion towards the specialities of cars from the era gone by. That is what makes his garage arguably the most unique among top celebrities in India. Let us dive into the details of his vehicles here.

Mercedes-Benz AMG G63
The latest addition to the garage of MS Dhoni is the Mercedes-Benz AMG G63. He has been vocal about his love for the G-Wagon for a long time now. It is one of the most potent luxury off-roaders on the planet. In its most aggressive setting, the G-Wagon comes with an impressive 4.0-litre bi-turbo V8 petrol engine, generating an impressive 585 hp and 850 Nm of torque. Performing the transmission duties is a 9-speed automatic transmission, distributing power to all four wheels via Mercโs trademark 4MATIC system. Despite weighing a lot, the potent mill propels the SUV from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds and the top speed is a jaw-dropping 240 km/h. In addition to its rugged exterior and engine, the interior caters to the utmost comfort of the passengers.
Hummer H2
While the first two are modern vehicles, it is time to head back in time a little. The Hummer H2 was mighty popular in the 2000s. In fact, it was a dream car for many at the time. No wonder Mahi also went out to get his hands on one. Under its extraordinarily tall hood sits a massive 6.0-litre V8 engine that generates 393 hp and 559 Nm of peak power and torque. The automatic transmission sends power to all four wheels to make it capable of off-roading. What is the most impressive aspect about the H2 is that despite its gargantuan dimensions, the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h comes up in a mere 9.3 seconds. The top speed is a respectable 160 km/h. But people bought it for its unique road presence.

Back in the day, it possessed a colossal 7.0-litre V8 engine that generated 375 hp and 610 Nm of peak power and torque. Since it was the 1960s, there was a 4-speed manual gearbox with this performance monster. Note that Mustang has transitioned to the electric avatar in the current times. That represents the legacy of the Mustang badge which is also the reason why Captain Cool purchased it.
