It’s no secret that he has Luka Dončić i like cars. Basketball remains in first place, but cars, both fast and vintage, big or otherwise special, are close behind. The Los Angeles Lakers star is in Kožice na Jordan’s tournament to launch his new line of basketball sneakers came with the Brabus Rocket 1000 car, a modified version of the Mercedes AMG GT 63 SE Performance model.
It is a car that Brabus (a prestigious sub-brand of Mercedes) produced in only 25 examples. The name Rocket 1000 is not accidental. The hybrid powertrain develops 1,000 horsepower, the maximum torque is 1,820 newton meters, and acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour takes only 2.6 seconds. The maximum speed is electronically limited to 316 kilometers per hour.

Dončić admitted that practically everything about the car, with which he is often seen in Slovenia, impresses him. He particularly highlighted the appearance, the interior with black leather, Alcantara, carbon accessories and red accents, as well as the feeling while driving. The Brabus Rocket 1000 is designed as a four-door car, but in terms of performance, it belongs to the German company’s most powerful road conversions.
The native of Ljubljana is known as a great car enthusiast. His US collection includes modern sports cars, restored models and classic cars. It is known that his first car was a popular little one, followed by much larger models.

Among the more recognizable cars in his collection is a converted 1968 Chevrolet Camaro known as the Midnight Racer, which is wrapped in a pink and purple look inspired by the Luka 3 sneakers. The Brabus Rocket 1000 is currently one of the most exclusive examples in his garage. Or maybe not, what is in it, Luke has never fully revealed.
