NBA Celebrity Ronny Turiaf's Customized Chevrolet Tahoe

Every NBA fan must have heard of Ronny Turiaf, who currently plays for the Golden State Warriors. The French professional basketball player recently sent his Chevrolet for customization to ''Platinum Motorsport'', a well-known restyling and upgrading cars company.

This, however, is a common practice among NBA players, who practically compete for the title of who has a more pimped ride. This time, Platinum Motorsport had to spice up Turiaf’s black Chevy Tahoe, that now looks more like a rapper’s ride.

However, the modifications brought in the car’s appearance were quite elegant we might say, not too ostentatious or gaudy. No wonder the guys won MTV’s “Trick It Out” season one in 2006. With clients ranging from countries such as Russia, Dubai, Italy, and France, Platinum Motorsport have already overcome the U.S. barriers.

Moreover, having clients like T-Pain, Kery Hillson, Mike Epps, Kim Kardashian, Tommy Hilfiger, Tyga, Nick Cannon, P Diddy, Will I am, Jorge Oliveira, Nas, Daddy Yankee, Ludacris, Ja Rule, Lil Jon, Chris Brown, Omarion, Akon and Busta Rhymes, there’s no wonder their business is going so well. And those are just of few names from their portfolio...

But, going back to Ronny Turiaf and his Chevy, there are no details about what is exactly the car’s configuration. However, what we can say about the Tahoe is that is built on GM’s full-size SUV platform, in LS, LT, LTZ and Hybrid models, with 2WD and 4WD.

The car comes in a choice of three engines: a 4.8L V8 unit (295 hp at 5600 rpm), a 5.3L V8 unit (320 hp at 5200 rpm) , or a 6.2 V8 unit (395 hp at 5600 rpm). We can only assume that Turiaf’s model is not a hybrid and features the 6.2 V8 unit engine .
