Shaq’s Ultimate Car Hacks: Transforming Luxury Rides for Epic Storage

The Many Faces of Shaquille O’Neal’s Unique Rides

Shaquille O’Neal, the 7’1" basketball legend, has never been shy about his love for cars. With a career spanning over three decades, Shaq has been fortunate enough to indulge in some truly unique and extravagant vehicles. This week, West Coast Customs revealed their latest creation: a two-door, custom Lucid Air sedan designed specifically for Shaq’s larger-than-life stature. But this isn’t the first time Shaq has pushed the boundaries of car design. In fact, his collection of modified vehicles is quite impressive, with some cars built from scratch to accommodate his considerable size.

The Lucid Air: A Customized Coupe

West Coast Customs took inspiration from Shaq’s history of modifying vehicles to fit his tall frame. In this case, they created a one-of-a-kind Lucid Air coupe, cutting and fabricating new doors and quarter panels to fit the electric sedan’s sleek body. The finished product looks surprisingly good, and with a price tag of $600,000, it’s a testament to the craftsmanship and creativity of the team at West Coast Customs.

Other Unique Rides

But the Lucid Air isn’t the only example of Shaq’s adventurous spirit when it comes to cars. Over the years, he’s been spotted in a variety of modified vehicles, each one more unusual than the last.

• Polaris Slingshot and Vanderhall Venice: Shaq’s love for three-wheeled vehicles has led him to modify a Polaris Slingshot and a Vanderhall Venice to fit his tall frame.
• Jeep Wrangler: West Coast Customs transformed a Jeep Wrangler into a two-door, four-seat vehicle with a longer wheelbase, perfect for Shaq’s stature.
• Vaydor Kit Car: This Japanese-style supercar kit car, built off an old Infiniti G35, caught our attention. Who knew such a unique ride was possible?

Practicality Meets Fun

Shaq’s willingness to push the boundaries of car design is inspiring, but what about practicality? Can a vehicle truly be modified to fit his size while still being functional?

Smart Fortwo: This small, three-seat car is impressive in its own right, and Shaq even managed to get himself in and out of it. Perhaps the key to successful car modification is finding the perfect balance between functionality and flair?
