Last time I was drinking I got into a discussion with my friend about what cars would gangsters drive.
I wonder what your choices would be if you were gangsters?

Blacked-Out Lamborghini SE30 Jota and a Red Porsche 928 4 Door.

Small time/petty gangster (Drug dealer, holding up 7-Elevens .etc):
BMW E46 Coupe



Average gangster (Hired muscle, Getaway driver, Arms Dealer .etc):
Land Rover Range Rover Vogue



High class/sucessful gangster (Be making tons of money and doing risky deals):
Porsche Cayenne S



What do you think gangsters in your neighbour hood would drive?

PS. No, it's not a coincidence the cars are all black

If I were a gangster, I'd drive a black 1996 Mercedes S600. Would look badass in that thing.

[ItsAllAboutGTA]

I'll choose the E46 coupes they are good cars,have a nice speed & handling not too bad,can evade the cops easily i guess

You should add Mercedes Benz C classes W202 to the options



The W202 are commonly use by the Russian Mafia or gangsters

If i were a gangster i would drive a normal car like anybody else just to keep a low profile. like a bmw 5series.

But then again if i have enough money why not.

It all depends who you guys think is a gangster, whats the definition? A black guy with a lot of money, but has his pants down? Or the real deal, a guy associated with mafia, like in my country...mostly a bit iverweight guys, who talk slang but are known for killing people and smugling and all what youd actually think mobsters do.

Anyway, Mercs would be the cars for gangsters. It was that way in the 90s at least. It was a black long S600 or any other S class, could have also been a E class or an SL. I would actually thing that eastern mobsters would drive Land Cruisers, the new ones and in black, or Hummers even. Maybe even BMWs, X5s an 7 series ones. Im not really sure about nowadays, gangsters who operated mostly in my country are all either dead or in jail. And if they are out of jail they are drinking their money away.

BMW E46? Get a grip! There can be only one:

[Sup3rman]

Quattroporte would be an excellent choice to a italian mobster, nice of you to bring that car out.

BMW E46 for a petty drug dealer perhaps.

The Quattroporte is a nice choice alright, but I would rather have the facelift version if I was a gangster:

As i think about what nowaday american gangsters would drive, the 300c comes to mind.

An all black one.

[jaysteels]

Saw a white one downtown (remember this is Norway)
DAYUM!

[sivispacem]

Range Rover Classic

[Mpower]

Image was too big, just think of a black JDM Sportscar

Seems to me there is one particular "gangster" omission here, the US ghetto king, the Lincoln Navigator.


Most S.U.Vs tend to be popular choices. Range Rover and BMW X5 are popular everywhere. Americans like the blingier choices like the Escalade and Navigator or a pimped out Tahoe. Russians (in Russia) are huge fans of the G-class benz.



That aside, most do-ers of dirty deeds seem to favor big euro sedans, mostly the S-class Benz and 7 series BMW. The w220 and e38 are both fine choices for low rent criminals, the newer versions fit the image of the "management" types.

[Mr.Mister]

f*ck yeah, Lincoln Navigator.

I drive a black Grand Cherokee

Actually surprised nobody mentioned...... Cadillac Escalade

I could really picture a wealthy gangster with a 90's S Class and some 2001 Lexus LS. They looked really badass imho.
