Jay Kay loves Ferraris and owns a Ferrari F40, Ferrari F355 and Ferrari F50

Vijay Pattni rounds up the biggest celebrity car spends, including Simon Cowell’s Bugatti Veyron, Jay Kay’s Ferrari Enzo and Jay Leno’s ‘Tank Car.’

Chris Evans - £5.6 million

Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans shot to fame on Channel 4’s The Big Breakfast in the mid nineties appearing alongside Gaby Roslin.

The star went on to set up his own company – Ginger Productions – which produced the iconic TFI Friday.

And Chris is a bona-fide petrolhead – sitting in his garage is a Ferrari 550 Maranello, a Land Rover V8, a Mark II Jaguar, a Morris Minor drop-top, a 1964 Ford Mustang convertible, and his new £5.6 million Ferrari 250 GT California Spider.

Roman Abramovich – £1,300,000

One of the richest men in the world with a fortune in excess of £10 billion, Roman Abramovich is better known in the UK as the owner of Chelsea football club – which goes head to head with Manchester United in tonight's Champions League showdown.

And the Russian billionaire, who donates millions to Chukotka – the Russian district of which he is Governor – splashed his considerable wealth on two Maybach 62 limousines and £1.3 million on a Ferrari FXX.

Just 30 Ferrari FXXs have been built, and the race-bred hypercar shares its technology with the Ferrari Enzo.

The FXX develops 790bhp from its 6.3-litre V12 engine – but customers, including Roman – are only allowed to drive the FXX on special track days approved by Ferrari and must report back to them when finished.

But while Roman may have had to splash his cash, Ferrari superstar and F1 legend Michael Schumacher was given the last Ferrari FXX to be built.

Simon Cowell – £830,000

The scathing X-Factor, Pop Idol and Britain’s Got Talent judge is not one to mince his words, and is one of the music industry’s most successful producers, with artists including Westlife and Leona Lewis on his books.

Simon Cowell recently splashed out £830,000 for a Bugatti Veyron – one of the world’s most famous hypercars.

The 1,001bhp Bugatti Veyron can accelerate from 0-62mph in just 2.5 seconds and will reach speeds of 253mph – making it one of the world’s fastest cars.

Sitting alongside his Veyron is a Ferrari F430 and the ultra-exclusive Rolls Royce Phantom.

Rowan Atkinson – £600,000

Actor and part-time car nut Rowan Atkinson is one of the nation’s best-loved comedians, starring in comedy epics Blackadder, The Thin Blue Line, and as the bumbling Mr Bean.

Rowan loves his motors, and once splashed out £600,000 on a super-rare McLaren F1 sportscar.

The McLaren F1 was the world’s fastest car when it scorched into the record books at 231mph. It accelerates from 0-60mph in just 3.2 seconds.

And Rowan's old Aston Martin Virage popped up on Auto Trader.

Jay-Z - £513,000

Hip-hop superstar and hubby of soul-diva Beyonce Knowles, Jay-Z – real name Shawn Carter – is one of the most influential figures in hip-hop: part-rapper, part-songwriter and record-label executive.

And in 2006 the rap-megastar showered Beyonce Knowles, who shot to fame as one part of pioneering girl-group Destiny’s Child, with a 1959 Rolls Royce Convertible for $1,000,000, which is just over £500,000.

Jay Kay – £418,000

He has sold more than twenty million albums and is a renowned petrolhead: lead singer of Jamiroquai Jason ‘Jay’ Kay is a pop superstar, with hits including “Virtual Insanity” and “Cosmic Girl” under his belt.

And his car collection is equally impressive – Jay loves Ferraris, owning a Ferrari F40, Ferrari F355, Ferrari F50 and the £418,000 Ferrari Enzo.

“I’ve had a few Ferraris”, Jay said.

And Jay isn’t the only one to bag a Ferrari Enzo straight off the famous Maranello production line…

Nick Mason - £418,000

The drummer for legendary rock band Pink Floyd, Nick Mason is also quite handy in a car, having competed in the 24-hour Le Mans race.

And the Pink Floyd drummer is a bona-fide petrolhead, owning numerous Ferraris – including the Ferrari Enzo.

Just 399 examples of this Maranello monster were made for hand-picked punters – and Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason was among the lucky few. The 6-litre V12-engined Ferrari Enzo sprints to 62mph in just 3.2 seconds and can hit a top speed of 228mph.

Rod Stewart - £360,000

The 63-year-old crooner is one of the world’s most famous performers, and counts six consecutive number one albums in the UK and 24 top ten hit singles – including six number one hits.

And what better way to celebrate than to buy a rare and exclusive Ferrari F50?

Launched in 1995, the Ferrari F50 was built to celebrate Ferrari’s 50th anniversary, and features a 4.7-litre V12 engine producing 513bhp – this means a 0-60mph sprint of just 3.7 seconds and a 202mph top speed.

Just 349 Ferrari F50s were made – it was the successor to the hardcore Ferrari F40 and predecessor to the Ferrari Enzo.

Kobe Bryant - £205,000

Basketball superstar Kobe Bryant, a “Shooting Guard” for the Los Angeles Lakers, shot to fame when in 1996 he was drafted to play in the NBA straight out of high school – earning him a place in the history books.

And the 6ft 6in star continued breaking records when he presented his wife – Vanessa Bryant – with a $400,000 6.2-litre Lamborghini Murcielago.

But the 570bhp Lambo – which will sprint to 62mph in just 3.8 seconds – is the world’s only Lamborghini Murcielago with a converted automatic transmission.

Jay Leno - £167,000

Talk-show megastar and stand-up comedian Jay Leno is one of America’s most recognisable faces, becoming the host of popular US entertainment programme The Tonight Show in 1992.

And his £30+ million car collection is one of the world’s most impressive – Leno is a renowned car collector and owns some of the world’s most incredible cars, including a Bentley Speed Six, a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, a 1925 Ford Model T Roadster and a 1967 Lamborghini Miura.

But the most unique car in his garage is his £167,000 custom ‘Tank Car’ – an 810bhp hot-rod which uses a 51-tonne engine from a 1950s M47 Patton Tank.
