If we have to look at an amazing car and bike collection in India, we have to look at the garage of MS Dhoni. With this latest Pontiac Firebird, the cricketer has a lot of exotic motorcycles, superbikes and cars.
MS Dhoni always had a knack for motorcycles. After he earned some money from a cricket match, he bought a second-hand Yamaha RX100. Gradually, he bought more and more motorcycles.
Now the count of his motorcycles crosses 100. Bikes like Kawasaki Ninja H2, Confederate Hellcat, BSA and a Norton Vintage bike are some of the few highlights of his garage.
His car collection is also equally unique with classics such as Hummer H2, GMC Sierra, the first-generation Mitsubishi Pajero and a humble, specially made, open 2-door Scorpio.

Confederate X132 Hellcat
This is probably one of the rarest bikes in the world as only 150 exist. MS Dhoni is the only South East Asian customer to own one of these crazy machines. Other owners include A-Listers such as Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, David Beckham and Ryan Reynolds. The Hellcat draws power from a 2.2 L V-Twin that churns out 132 hp and 200 Nm. Dhoni took his bike for a spin at the Buddh International Circuit too.
Ninja ZX-14R
MS Dhoni’s love for bike bikes continues with the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R. It gets a 4- cylinder 1441 cc engine that puts out 197.39 bhp of maximum power. It boasts a top speed of 335 km/h!

Yamaha RD350
The Yamaha RD350 or Rajdoot has a cult following in India. And like any bike lover, Dhoni is a fan too. Apparently, the RD350 was the first bike he bought. Following years of neglect, the bike ended up looking like this. However, he has now completely restored the bike. Also, this isn’t the only RD350 in his possession.
Suzuki Shogun
More than a year back, Dhoni put up a picture on Instagram of a Suzuki Shogun with the caption, “How many of u agree this was 1 of the most exciting 2stroke single cylinder bikes to ride, need to restore mine quickly.” We have not seen the final result of the restoration anywhere.
Yamaha Thundercat
This is one perhaps one of the most famous sports-tourers of its time. The Yamaha Thundercat or YZF600R was manufactured between 1996 and 2007. It came with a 599 cc engine that made around 88 bhp. Here is a picture of MS Dhoni from a few years back posing with his Yamaha Thundercat and Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R.

Norton Jubilee 250

Bikes and Cars of MS Dhoni – Dhoni’s Car Collection
Pontiac Firebird Trans AM
This is his latest prized possession and his retirement gift to himself. One of the most iconic muscle cars around the world can now be spotted doing the rounds of Ranchi. It is a LHD which might have some issues driving on the roads. Its V8 6.6 Litre engine produced 325 BHP!
Ferrari 599 GTO
While it’s Dhoni’s Hummer H2 that has made a lot of news, of course, for all the right reasons, it’s his Ferrari 599 GTO that has to be our favourite machine among all the bikes and cars of MS Dhoni.
The 599 GTO looks really cool. What’s even cooler is the 6.0-litre Naturally Aspirated V12 that lurks underneath that hood. This car has a max. power of 661 BHP, which makes it one of the most powerful machines among all bikes and cars of MS Dhoni.
Hummer H2
Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s car collection is not as extensive as his bike collection. He owns a handful of SUV, though. Perhaps the most talked about is his Hummer H2. At the time of purchase, MSD paid close to crore for the giant American SUV. Altough Hummer shut shop a long time back, they’re still one of the most well-known SUV brands across the globe.
GMC Sierra
Most Indians might not be aware of the GMC brand. However, their name is synonymous with big, full-size SUVs in the American Market. Owned by General Motors, GMC manufactures a wide range of SUVs and pickup trucks. And one of them has found its way into MS Dhoni’s garage.
Audi Q7
Like most celebrities in India and across the globe, MSD also owns an Audi Q7. His black Q7 has been spotted in Ranchi many times. This SUV from Audi is popular among the rich as evident from the relatively large number of Q7s populating big city roads. Dhoni owns the previous generation Audi Q7.
Mitsubishi Pajero SFX
One of at least four SUVs in MS Dhoni’s possession is the Mitsubishi Pajero. The Pajero still enjoys a strong fan following in India despite having been discontinued. Reports of MS Dhoni owning a Pajero are a few years old. We’re not sure if he still has the SUV.
Land Rover Freelander 2
The last entry on our list of MS Dhoni Cars and Bikes is the Land Rover Freelander 2. The captain of the Indian Cricket team owns a pre-facelift black Freelander. The model has now been discontinued having been replaced by the Land Rover Discovery Sport.
Mahindra Scorpio
Last, but certainly not the least, Mahi’s car collection also includes a Mahindra Scorpio. The Scorpio, while not being anywhere as premium as the H2 or even the Freelander 2, is a butch SUV from the mass market. Thanks to its aggressive stance and the commanding position it offers, the Scorpio seems to have made its way to Dhoni’s garage.
Currently, the Mahindra Scorpio sports a 2.2-litre mHawk engine that outputs 120 BHP and 280 Nm. The engine comes mated to a 5-speed Manual Transmission as standard. There’s also an optional 6-speed Automatic Transmission on offer. The company claims a mileage of over 15 KMPL. This SUV is available in both 2WD and 4WD formats. That said, it’s the 2WD that’s far more popular. The Mahindra Scorpio is the least expensive car in MS Dhoni’s car collection.
