Dominic Toretto has had some impressive rides across the Fast & Furious films, including his signature super-charged 1970 Dodge Charger R/T. He is, of course, a fictional character, but John Cena, who plays Dominic's brother in F9, is a real person who has a car collection that puts his movie sibling's garage to shame.
The former professional wrestler, and current action superstar, has amassed some seriously awesome automobiles, starting with the first of his collection, a 1989 Jeep Wrangler. After the WWE and blockbuster movie money started rolling in, he was able to expand his garage to include some of the most badass cars in existence.
John Cena's Marvelous Mopar Muscle
John Cena loves muscle cars, and that means he has plenty of Mopar muscle in his garage. The collection is anchored by a stunning 1966 Dodge Charger with the optional 420 horsepower 426 Hemi V8. The first-generation Chargers were not a hit with car buyers, and the production numbers were low, so this sweet '66 is very rare.
Many outlets have reported that Cena has a 2006 Viper, but a Motortrend article clarified that he has a "Viper Pickup." That means he probably has a 2006 Ram SRT-10 with a massive 8.0 liter V10. Parked next to that is his 2006 Dodge Charger SRT-8 Super Bee with 425-hp 6.1-liter HEMI, capable of a 5-second 0-60 MPH time.
The crown jewel in Cena's Mopar collection is his Hemi Orange 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird. Equipped with the 426, it was one of only 2 Hemi Superbirds shipped to Canada. The original owner never titled the vehicle, so Cena's rare find is listed as a single-owner car.
'69 COPO Camaro And The Other Muscle In Cena's Garage
A 1969 Chevrolet COPO Camaro is one of the many non-Mopar muscle cars in Cena's Collection. Two Central Office Production Orders (COPO), numbers 9560 and 9561, were offered in '69 for the 427-equipped vehicles. Cena's has a proper solid-lifter L72 big-block engine, which means it's 1 of around 1,000 that were ordered.
Cena has a total of 26 muscle cars, including a 1969 AMC AMX, 1970 AMC Rebel Machine, A 1971 AMC Hornet SC 360, 1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator, 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Rallye 350. 2 1970 Buick GSXs, 1971 Ford Torino GT, and 3 Pontiac GTO Judges ('69, '70, '71).
On the modern end of the spectrum, Cena has a 2007 Ford Mustang Saleen Parnelli Jones Limited Edition. With a 4.6-liter all-aluminum V-8 under the hood, the pony car makes 300 horsepower. Only 500 of these limited-edition Mustangs were built, and Cena has one.
John Cena Also Likes American Sports Cars
In 2005, Ford brought to market the reincarnation of its legendary racer, the GT40 Le Mans, with the Ford GT. John Cena picked up the 2006 version with a 550 horsepower V8 and a six-speed manual transmission. He also has a 2017 Ford GT that he tried to sell, but Ford sued him for breaking a contract that said owners can't flip them within 2 years of taking delivery.
Cena has stated that he was never a big 'Vette fan until he took a spin in a 2009 Corvette ZR1. The 632 horsepower 6.2-liter LS9 V-8 changed his mind, and he picked one up. Cena's ZR1 has serial number 73.
Speaking of 'Vettes, Cena has a custom Corvette InCENArator. Designed specifically for the ex-wrestler by Park Brothers Concepts for the show Dream Machines, it's a futuristic ride Batman would be happy driving. While not all that impressive in terms of power, it does shoot flames out of the tailpipes, which is undeniably cool.
Of Course John Cena Has European Supercars
Dubbed the "Lamborgreeni," Cena's 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 is the only one to be optioned with Verde Scandal bright green paint. The original owner insisted that Lamborghini match the interior to the paint, so the Italian automaker did a custom leather job that Cena describes as "grellow."
There's a love/hate relationship Cena has with his Maserati GranTurismo C-MC Stradale. He says the convertible isn't particularly fast or luxurious, but he likes the way it drives and the sound of the motor. He, however, has nothing but love for his 2007 Ferrari F430 Spider which he claims is the last production Ferrari with a manual transmission.
Cena has likened his black Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren to a screaming "Darth Vader." With the evil appearance and the brutal acceleration from the 620-horsepower supercharged 5.4-liter V8 engine, that's an appropriate description. The star claims he picked his up on the cheap but won't say how much. Generally speaking, these suckers go for mid-six figures.
Dominic Toretto Can't Compete With Brother Jakob's Garage
Cena's eclectic car collection also includes a Rolls-Royce Phantom, Range Rover Autobiography Ultimate Edition (1 of 50), and a 1991 Lincoln Continental. Maybe that last one isn't super-cool, but it must have some sentimental value and in no way detracts from his killer garage.
John Cena plays Dominic Toretto's estranged brother Jakob in F9 and will reprise the role in Fast X, slated to be released in May of this year. A look at Cena's awesome fleet will no doubt spark some jealousy, and further drive their sibling rivalry. The truth of the matter, however is Dominic can't compete with Jakob's (Cena's) garage.
