When agent Ari Gold lost his job and had his Mercedes confiscated, he needed a lift home. His assistant, Lloyd, stepped up to not just chauffeur but also deliver a moving pep talk about a soon-to-come renaissance (view the Top 10 Vehicles from Entourage slideshow).

"I drove to work in an $80,000 Mercedes," Gold replied. "I'm driving home in a prop car from The Fast and the Furious. I just don't see it."

For the great majority of recurring Entourage characters, the vehicles they drive serve as confirmations or outward projections of their one-in-the-same personal and professional demeanor and industry station.

Enter Lloyd's tuner car. "It instantaneously told you something about him that you didn't expect," said series creator Doug Ellin.

Indeed. Black with red stripes, a red roof and sporting a rear wing, Sparco seats and Veilside and Street Concepts decals, this vehicle stands far out amidst the monotony of monochrome — and conservative, luxurious conformity — that the rest of the cast steer.
