Luka Dončić’s luxurious summer took an unexpected turn after Slovenia’s 103–89 exhibition loss to Germany, when the Los Angeles Lakers star found himself unable to get into his new $2 million Rimac Nevera. Another car had parked so close to his driver’s side door that he couldn’t open it, and cameras caught his annoyed reaction — a clip that quickly went viral.
During the game, Dončić scored 19 points in 24 minutes, but it was the postgame parking mishap that grabbed headlines. The Rimac Nevera is no ordinary car — considered the fastest electric vehicle in the world, it goes from 0–60 mph in just 1.74 seconds and tops out at 258 mph. Only 150 exist, making it a rare prize for any collector.
Dončić is already known for his love of cars, with a collection including a 1968 Chevrolet Camaro, Ferrari 812 Superfast, multiple Porsches, and a Brabus Rocket 1000. Before the Nevera, he reportedly owned 13 vehicles, making this his 14th.
The purchase comes just weeks after Dončić signed a three-year, $165 million extension with the Lakers, solidifying him as the team’s centerpiece. Looking ahead to 2028, he’s projected to opt out and potentially sign a record-breaking deal worth over $417 million, which could see him earning more than $80 million annually.
Even as he focuses on conditioning for the upcoming EuroBasket 2025 and another Lakers championship push, Dončić’s off-court life continues to fascinate fans. The viral video of him stuck outside the Nevera is a reminder that even NBA superstars occasionally deal with everyday frustrations — albeit with far flashier cars.
