When you think of Morgan Freeman, you think of God. Well, at least the voice of God, thanks to Bruce Almighty. But the movie that really made Morgan Freeman so famous, and won him his only Oscar, is Million Dollar Baby. And while the actor's car collection is pretty down-to-earth for a Hollywood A-lister, there are a couple of cars we're sure are his real million dollar babies.
Updated March 2023: We've updated this article with more information on Morgan Freeman's cars, including the current worth of his most special car.
One of those is a Candy Apple Red 1966 Shelby Mustang GT350, the first of a series of Mustangs tuned by Carroll Shelby, a tradition that continues today. Interestingly, Morgan Freeman's first tryst with the rare Ford was actually with a Shelby clone. Though the GT350 in the actor's garage is the real deal, with examples valued at nearly $150,000!
What Kind Of Car Does Morgan Freeman Drive?
One of the most exciting cars that Morgan Freeman drove is the Lamborghini Aventador. He bought this Italian supercar when it first came out in 2011. A successor to the iconic Murcielago, the Aventador packs in a 6.5-liter, naturally aspirated V12 engine, which produces 690 horsepower and 508 lb-ft of torque in its earliest configurations.
The 2011 model year Aventadors could sprint from 0 to 60 MPH in 2.9 seconds and be able to clock a top speed of 217 MPH. The mighty V12's power is sent to all four wheels through a clever all-wheel drive system via a seven-speed single-clutch automatic transmission.
The 1966 Shelby Mustang GT350 Was Shelby's First Muscle Car
Apart from having a slight inclination towards high-performance Italian supercars, Morgan Freeman also has a special place in his heart for classic American muscle cars. He currently owns a pristine example of a 1966 Ford Mustang GT350. As the story goes, the actor fell in love with this iconic car while filming for the 2007 flick Bucket List.
1966 was an important year for the Mustang as Ford made it more comfortable to drive on the street compared to the previous year's GT350. It was given several necessities inside the cabin and many mechanical upgrades to make it stand out as a cruiser or daily driver.
Hollywood Celebrities Love The BMW 7 Series
The powerful and luxurious BMW 7 Series is also known to be a part of Freeman's car collection. He has owned this German sedan's 2019 model year in its 740i configuration, which packs in a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine producing 340 horsepower. Apart from having a decently powerful engine under its hood, Freeman's 7 Series was loaded with all the luxury features and tech you'd expect from a premium sedan with a price tag of more than $80,000.
The Reliable Toyota Tundra Has A Drinking Problem
In addition to having an Italian supercar, an American muscle car, and a luxury sedan, Morgan Freeman has also owned an immensely reliable and capable Toyota Tundra full-size pickup truck. He doesn't own the latest generation of this truck, but the previous one, which was available with a 381 horsepower 5.7-liter V8 motor.
Freeman's Tundra is quite a heavy lifter, as its 401 lb-ft of torque allows it to tow an impressive 10,200 pounds and carry up to 8,000 pounds of payload. That said, its hairy-chested motor didn't allow for great fuel economy as it has an EPA-certified rating of just 13 MPG in the city and 17 MPG on the highway.
The Chevrolet Silverado Is A 6.2-Liter V8 Monster
The second full-sized pickup in Morgan Freeman's car collection is the Chevrolet Silverado. In this case, too, he owns the previous generation of this truck which was available with a choice of several engine options, including the mighty 6.2-liter V8 that produced 420 horsepower. Like the Tundra, the Silverado also has an impressive tow rating of 13,300 pounds with the V8 motor. However, it falls behind in its payload-carrying capacity, which stands in the range of 1,870 to 2,270 pounds.
The Best GMC Yukon Denali You Can Buy
Apart from a couple of full-sized pickup trucks, Freeman also owns the luxurious GMC Yukon Denali. The mammoth-sized SUV is second to none when it comes to a premium family hauler that's loaded with tech and packs in a mighty engine under the hood. The 2021 Yukon Denali is available with two V8 engines and a 3.0-liter turbo diesel I6 that produces an impressive 460 lb-ft of torque.
Though it shares its mechanicals with the Chevy Suburban and Tahoe, the Yukon Denali offers unique premium features that separate it from its GM siblings. It offers a ton of room on the inside with plenty of space for a family and their stuff.
Morgan Freeman's Most Modern Car Is The Tesla Model X
The Tesla Model X rounds up Morgan Freeman's eccentric car collection. This electric SUV has a lot of potential even in its base dual-motor configuration that promises a power output of 670 horsepower and an EPA-certified range of 348 miles. Opt for the plaid, and you unlock the Model X's full 1020 horsepower, allowing it to sprint from 0-60 MPH in just 2.5 seconds. That's faster than Freeman's Aventador!
