His catchphrase is "You Can't See Me," his WWE wins are numerous, he's a legend in his own right ...and his name is John Cena!
Best known for his long and successful wrestling career, John Cena is a guy who prides himself on performance. With several world championship belts and millions of dollars in the bank, the question of what to do with all that fame and fortune applies to John Cena as much as every superstar alike.
Of course, the first thing most people do when making it big is to buy the latest and greatest performance or luxury car, because why not treat yourself to the best? But where John Cena sets himself apart from the crowd of celebrities flaunting their expensive cars is in his taste. Cena doesn't just buy the newest car everyone is talking about; his love for muscle cars comes from a true passion for the machines. And even when it's not a muscle car, don't expect him to buy a car just to show off. In fact, Cena is so passionate about automotive, he started a Youtube series just so he could share that passion with others.
Here are 15 of the coolest cars John Cena has owned in his collection. When he's driving one of these beasts, you really won't be able to see him, just his dust.
15 2005 Ford GT
Recently being thrust back into the spotlight thanks to the movie Ford Vs Ferrari, the Ford GT40 is one of the most legendary race cars of all time. Not one to simply rest on their laurels, back in 2005, Ford re-imagined their prized Le Mans machine as a modern supercar, with all the Ferrari beating performance it became known for. Cena picked up this gorgeous grey GT in 2006.
14 2017 Ford GT
Ford's evolution of the legendary GT reached its next chapter in 2016, with the introduction of this technologically advanced race car for the road. It's a lovely machine to look at, but getting your hands on a new model was no walk in the park. Potential owners had to submit an application just for the chance to own one and were contractually obligated to not sell it for 24 months. Cena broke this rule though and was consequentially sued by Ford.
13 Corvette InCENArator
First things first, hats off to John Cena for not only having such an incredible looking custom car made but also for the great pun when naming the beast. Not much is mechanically different from the stock Corvette it was built on. But, where things get crazy is the alien-looking body, featuring 8 flame-shooting exhaust pipes. Altogether, it puts on quite the show.
12 2009 Corvette ZR1
When the C6 came out, the Corvette's image had been slipping. While the C5 was a pretty good car, the C4 before it was mediocre at best. The C6's increase in quality and performance helped pick the brand out of its slump, especially the brutal supercharged ZR1. While Cena did own a 2009 ZR1, he wasn't the biggest fan of the model. And though the plastic body and lackluster handling take points off in Cena's review of the ZR1, he (as well as most owners) has to admit that the performance you get for the price is hard to beat.
11 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird
One of, if not the most, unique muscle car ever made, the Plymouth Superbird lives up to its super name. With its giant wing and extended nose, this model (along with its brother Dodge Daytona) was essentially a road-legal NASCAR race car. NASCAR rules at the time demanded any car being raced also be sold in public dealerships. Now, 50 years later, these beasts are living legends, much like John Cena himself.
10 2007 Ferrari F430 Spider
Think of "celebrity car collection" and you'll probably imagine a line of Ferraris and Lamborghinis. While they have become the default choice for a car to show off with, John Cena is truly passionate about all the cars he buys. Not one to just stick to American Muscle and Sports cars, Cena bought his F430 with the awesome gated manual shifter that really makes it a special driving experience.
9 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4
The Lamborghini Gallardo truly marked the start of a new era for the prestigious Italian automaker. Combining a screaming V10 with a platform that was unprecedentedly reliable for a Lambo, the Gallardo ushered in almost 2 decades of success for Lamborghini. To celebrate his own success, Cena added this unique Verde Scandal Green Gallardo to his collection. Unfortunately, he got bored with it and recently sold it from his collection.
8 1966 Dodge Charger Hemi 426
An absolutely stunning classic muscle car that any collector would be proud of, this first generation Dodge Charger is not just any old classic. The Hemi Charger in Cena's collection has the optional 426 Hemi V8, putting out over 420 Horsepower. That's powerful today but was absolutely earth-shattering in 1966. It's for a damn good reason these classic muscle cars are becoming so collectible.
7 1969 Chevrolet COPO Camaro
The Chevrolet Camaro surely earns its place in the Pantheon of the greatest muscle cars over the years. 50 years of production doesn't happen by making just a decent car - the 1969 COPO Camaro is in another world from anything you could call "just decent." In fact, the COPO Camaro was a full-spec drag racer, sold to the public only so Chevrolet could meet NHRA competition standards. So, it's not surprising that this car is right up John Cena's alley.
6 2006 Dodge Viper
The Dodge Viper is a literal incarnation of prioritizing brutal power at all costs. With an absolutely massive V10, and no-nonsense driving experience (that definitely isn't for the faint of heart), it's easy to see why someone like John Cena would love such a machine. 2006 is a great year for the Viper as well, considering how unrefined the generation before it was.
5 1970 AMC Rebel The Machine
If you've noticed a theme in John Cena's automotive taste, it's obvious he needs more than just power: his cars have to offer a unique experience and uncompromising power at the same time. The AMC Rebel Machin does just that, with a whopping 430 lbs-ft of Torque, and a paint scheme that puts the "American" back in American Motors Corporation.

4 1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator
While "Cougar Eliminator" would make for a great wrestler name, it makes for an even better muscle car. Intended as a more luxurious Mustang, the Cougar saw plenty of success, both on the drag strip and in dealerships. With 300 Horsepower, and all the factory options checked off, the Cougar Eliminator is certainly a worthy addition to Cena's collection.
3 1971 AMC Hornet SC 360
Today, the idea of a fast car, capable of competing with all the latest and greatest performance cars while also being practical and cheap to own and insure, is a fairly common one. But back in the 70s, there weren't too many options in that class. The AMC Hornet SC 360 is one such car though. Boasting 245 horsepower and 365 lb-ft of torque, it still manages to maintain a practical, under-the-radar type of look.
2 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Rallye 350
The year is 1970, and powerhouse icons are being released left and right in the muscle car world. But what do you do when your customers want all the power and performance spirit but don't have the money for a top tier muscle car? If you're Oldsmobile in 1970, then you release the Cutlass Rallye 350. With 310 Horsepower, and a flashy yellow paint scheme as the only color option, the Cutlass Rallye 350 was certainly a great deal for its time.
1 1989 Jeep Wrangler
Incredible car collections aren't built overnight. It all has to start somewhere, and for John Cena, it was this 1989 Jeep Wrangler that started it all. Purchased with his first WWE contract paid off in 2001, this trusty Jeep served the world champ throughout his Wrestling career. Even when his garage is filled with drool-worthy dream machines, Cena still appreciates his ever-faithful Jeep.
