He’s one of the most famous and decorated Formula One drivers of all time. Alain Prost might be retired but he sure knows how to take control of a cool car. This French driver has won four Formula One Driver’s Championships
That’s not all. Prost also held the record for most Grand Prix victories, which he held during the years 1987 and 2001. Many consider him to be among the best F1 drivers in history, but now he hits the roads and hills in style in a McLaren F1 XP5, which set a Guinness World Record (fastest production car) while it was only in the prototype stage.
The King of the Track Loves the King of the Road
Carl Edwards is one of the top ten best drivers in NASCAR, and when he isn't winning on the track, he's driving the car dubbed “The King of the Road.” The Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR, the re-released 2008 version.
This remake has a whopping 540 horsepower, a supercharged 5.4-liter engine V8 with the addition of Ford Racing's Power Pack upgrade, and lots of other cool additions that help handle all the power coming from under the hood. It really is the King of the Road, and Edwards loves sitting on his throne.
Carl Edwards Wants to Be Practical
Like Kyle Petty, Carl Edwards must be tired of filling up his gas tank. He's opted for a Ford Fusion Hybrid, which is efficient and doesn't require as much fossil fuels to keep it going (Of course, that electricity had to come from somewhere).
Edwards actually drove a Fusion for a little bit of time in an official capacity on the track, but the most famous feat he has tied to this model wasn't during a race – he once took his preferred hybrid 1445.7 miles on a single tank of gas. He probably added some electrical power on top of that, but he still made it quite a way.
Another Mercedes, This Time for Coulthard
Like Felipe Massa, David Coulthard got his start as a racer with go-karts, before eventually making his way to the British Formula Ford Championships. He drove for McLaren in 2001, during which he became the runner-up in the Formula One World Drivers' Championships. When he hung up his racing gloves, he became a consultant for Red Bull and worked as a commentator on BBC for Formula One.
When he hits the streets, he does it in an understated style with a 1971 Mercedes Benz 280. It's a classy ride for a classy guy, and when the top is down it certainly draws the eye.
Ferraris For Everyone!
When he won the Formula World Championship in 2009 – driving a Brawn GP – Formula One driver Jenson Button could have added any car he wanted to his garage, and probably for free. Instead of the new and flashy cars on the market now, he looked into the past and picked up an old Ferrari.
Button is now the proud owner of a 1978 Ferrari 512BB. Only two thousand units of this model came out, and it was designed by the great Leonardo Fioravanti. It was the first mid-engine road car from Ferrari. It's a beaut, and Button is certainly proud of it.
