MS Dhoni
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 favorite 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 The model has now been discontinued having been replaced by the Land Rover Discovery Sport.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 is powered by 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 can be bought 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.
KARUN NAIR
25-year-old Karun Nair recently got himself a Ford Mustang. The last three digits of his Mustang’s registration number read ‘303’, which happens to be his highest test score. Ford launched the Mustang in India in 2016. The one sold here is the V8 powered GT variant.

MAHENDRA SINGH DHONI
GMC Sierra
Everyone is well aware of the Indian skipper’s fondness for fancy motorcycles and he does have a very impressive collection and even though this article is about cars, the Hellcat deserves a special mention. His car collection, though not as impressive, consists of a Hummer H2, Audi Q7 and many more. This most interesting of the lot is the GMC Sierra, a big, hulking pickup truck imported from the USA. Most people would ask why he purchased one to which we would reply, ‘why not?’. Plus, it’s interesting to see that he doesn’t just buy run of the mill rich people cars.

- Engine: 6.6 litre V8
- Power & Torque: 400bhp & 1,036Nm
There were also rumours of him being gifted a special edition Ferrari 599 GTO India for the World Cup win. These rumours were fueled by a picture of the said car doing the rounds complete with the Indian Tri-Colour on the bonnet, but it turns out the car belonged to a wealthy Indian gentleman living in the middle east.
SACHIN TENDULKAR
Nissan GT-R
Sachin Tendulkar’s cars never fail to create a buzz. First, it was the Ferrari 360 Modena, which he sold off a few years back. This time, it’s the Nissan GT-R, finished in red with a Wald body kit ensuring it stands out from the crowd. Well, a standard GT-R would still stand out considering there aren’t many in India, but this body kit makes it very unique. The GT-R puts out around 550bhp of power and can do a 0-100kmph in 2.9 seconds! Other cars in the Master Blaster’s collection including a BMW M5 and BMW M6 Gran Coupe. Not surprising since he is BMW’s brand ambassador in India.
