From Funk to Ferraris - Inside Jay Kay’s Car Obsession

When most people think of Jay Kay, the first image that probably comes to mind is the energetic frontman of Jamiroquai – a man known for funky beats, iconic headwear, and classic hits like Cosmic Girl.

But for car enthusiasts across the globe, Jay Kay’s best known for his lifelong obsession with cars.

His love affair with cars didn’t exactly start as a celebrity indulgence – it began with a somewhat modest BMW 1602 that he used to drive around early in his music career.

However, these humble beginnings ignited a lifelong obsession with the art, history, performance and sheer joy of driving.

Over the decades, Jay Kay has amassed one of the most enviable private collections of supercars, classics and rare sets of wheels seen anywhere. 

Opening the garage door

Jay’s collection of cars has featured vehicles that read like they’ve come straight from a car lover’s wish list.

From timeless Italian icons like Ferrari F40s and Ferrari Enzos to stellar Lamborghinis such as his prized Miura SV, his garage has spanned generations of mechanical masterpieces. 

Many of these cars have even played a starring role in Jay’s work – most famously in the Cosmic Girl music video, where his black Ferrari F355 GTS, purple Lamborghini Diablo SE30, and red Ferrari F40 chase across sun-drenched highways with apparent ease.

But Jay’s obsession isn’t just about having some of the rarest machines around in his roster of cars to admire – he genuinely loves driving them.

A star turn at Selfridges

One of the standout moments from late 2025 for both automotive fans and London’s car culture scene was Jay Kay’s appearance at the Duke of London x Selfridges: Classics and Cake Car Meet.

Held in the iconic department store’s multi-storey car park, the meet brought together beautifully restored classics, modern supercars, and passionate owners… including Jay Kay himself.

He parked up his newly resprayed purple Ferrari F355 SE30 GTS and mingling among fellow enthusiasts and admirers alike, swapping stories, admiring craftsmanship, and soaking up the rumble of engines against the backdrop of one of London’s most fashionable venues. 

Why Jay Kay’s a true car enthusiast

Beyond the price tags and rare gems in his car collection, what sets Jay Kay apart is his genuine enthusiasm for cars.

He’s been spotted chatting with fans about chassis numbers, spec choices, and the joy of motoring, ultimately treating his cars as living machines to be driven, enjoyed, and shared. 

For car devotees, Jay Kay isn’t just a celebrity with a garage full of expensive toys that we’d all like to fire up – he’s a fellow enthusiast who lives and breathes automotive culture with passion, knowledge and unmistakable style.
