Vin Diesel isn’t just a Hollywood action star; he’s a genuine car enthusiast whose passion for speed extends far beyond the silver screen. Best known as Dominic Toretto in the Fast & Furious franchise, Diesel’s love for cars is as legendary as the high-octane stunts in his movies.
His impressive collection of muscle cars, custom builds, and rare hypercars reflects a deep appreciation for performance, power, and automotive history. From American classics to modern marvels, Vin’s garage is a true testament to his need for speed! Anyways, it is not as amusing as Ludacris, Dwayne Johnson, and the late Paul Walker's collection.
6. 1966 Pontiac Bonneville
The 1966 Pontiac Bonneville is one of the few cars that resonates with Vin Diesel's net worth of $225 Million. Its muscular outlook reflects the actor's physical charm while Bonneville's ride quality reminds us of his gentle nature. The car owned by Diesel is a fourth-generation model that came with a Coke bottle profile, a true American classic.
1966 Pontiac Bonneville | Specs |
---|---|
Price | $26,167 |
Engine | 6.9L V8 |
Horsepower | 376 hp |
Torque | 465 lb-ft |
Transmission | 3-speed automatic |
0-60 MPH | ~8 seconds |
Top Speed | ~120 MPH |
The Bonneville was a full-size car and was also one of the longest Pontiacs ever made. It had a length of 222.6 inches that made it standout in the crowd and was similar to a yacht moving on four wheels. Clearly it suited the physical attributes of the actor who himself has a height of around 6 feet.
5. 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI
There are several cars that Vin Diesel has driven as Dominic Toretto in the Fast and Furious franchise. However, he does not have ownership of all of them. He has driven the Subaru WRX STI in the Fast & Furious 4 which also showed action with the late Paul Walker. Furthermore, despite reports claiming that the actor has ownership of the car, he is yet to be spotted on the streets driving the same.
2009 Subaru WRX STI | Specs |
---|---|
Price | $38,795 |
Engine | 2.5L Turbo Flat-4 |
Horsepower | 305 hp |
Torque | 290 lb-ft |
Transmission | 6-speed manual |
0-60 MPH | 4.7 seconds |
Top Speed | ~142 MPH |
Not much is known about Vin’s Impreza, but the car came in as a stock model. The F&F actor would have made some performance upgrades to the car as well, as a JDM car should be. Combined with the all-wheel-drive the car boasts one of the best driving capabilities in every terrain.
4. 1993 Mazda RX-7
The 1993 Mazda RX-7 was also featured in the Fast and Furious 2001 movie. It is not to be confused with the orange RX-7 driven by Orange Julius. In the movie, Keith Imoto added several mods for the RX-7 including a safety cage and nitrous-oxide system. However, we don't think Vin Diesel would be driving the car with movie specs. His car probably has factory specs which are more than enough for a thrilling ride.
1993 Mazda RX-7 | Specs |
---|---|
Price | $40,000+ |
Engine | 1.3L Twin-Turbo Rotary |
Horsepower | 252 hp |
Torque | 217 lb-ft |
Transmission | 5-speed manual |
0-60 MPH | 4.9 seconds |
Top Speed | 158 MPH |
The Mazda RX-7 was based on the Mazda FD platform which belongs to the third generation. The car owned by Diesel is one of the very few and rare 2x2 models ever made, thus making it a highly special car. This beauty won the 1993 Import Car of the Year award from Motor Trend, as the car was never made in the States and was directly imported from Japan.

3. Customized Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van
Rolls-Royce-inspired custom Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van in Vin Diesel's garage was gifted to him by none other than his Fast and Furious series co-star Tyrese Gibson. Diesel always talked about Sprinter with Gibson who had two of them. Eventually, he decided to gift this one-of-a-kind Van to his friend on his birthday in 2015.
2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van | Specs |
---|---|
Price | $39,995 |
Engine | 3.0L Turbo Diesel V6 |
Horsepower | 188 hp |
Torque | 325 lb-ft |
Transmission | 5-speed automatic |
0-60 mph | ~11.2 seconds |
Top Speed | 84 mph |
Gibson posted an Instagram video before giving the van to Vin Diesel. He talked about how he admired Diesel for being a family man. Tyrese designed the Ghost Sprinter van in collaboration with ‘Van Masters'. Tyrese wanted Vin Diesel's One Race Production company to have its own bespoke van. Having said that, the exact specs of Vin Diesel's Ghost Sprinter are yet to be revealed.
2. 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona
In Fast & Furious 6, Vin Diesel has driven the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona and according to some reports he even owns one model in real life. However, the specs of the latter remain unknown. That being said, seven Daytona model look-alike were built by Dennis McCarthy but only three survived, Edmunds claims.
1969 Dodge Charger Daytona | Specs |
---|---|
Price | $90,000 |
Engine | 7.0L V8 |
Horsepower | 425 hp |
Torque | 490 lb-ft |
Transmission | 4-speed manual |
0-60 MPH | ~5.2 |
Top Speed | NA |
Dom drove the car in multiple scenes including one chase in Spain. Having said that, the Dodge Charger Daytona used in the movie had some differences compared to the famous Talladega 500 race-winner and NASCAR-dominating model. The front nose and rear spoiler were shorter than the original. There were fixed headlights and custom-made 18-inch wheels were used.
1. 1970 Dodge Charger ‘Tantrum’
The 1970 Dodge Charger Tantrum model was a gift to him from the cast of Fast and Furious. The car was presented to him on his 52nd birthday on the set of Fast and Furious 9. On receiving the gift, Diesel expressed his gratitude for Paul Walker in the video. The Tantrum was a restmod made by SpeedKore and used a twin-turbocharged 9.0L Mercury V8 engine.
1970 Dodge Charger Tantrum | Specs |
---|---|
Price | $699,000 |
Engine | 9.0L Twin-Turbo V8 |
Horsepower | 1,650 hp |
Torque | N/A |
Transmission | 6-speed manual |
0-60 MPH | NA |
Top Speed | NA |
The engine had a power output of 1,350 hp on regular gas which increased to 1,650 hp on premium fuel. The engine was paired with a specific Tremec T56 6-speed manual transmission. The entire build consisting of the performance and cosmetic carbon-fiber changes cost over $600,000. The car was featured in The Fate of the Furious movie and the F9: The Fast Saga movie.
Special Mentions: Cars Dominic Toretto drove
7. 1973 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 “F-Bomb”
The iconic Camaro “F-Bomb” was seen in Fast and Furious (2009). The same car was used to kill Fenix Calderon (Laz Alonso). The car was built on an F-body platform and got its name from F-Bomb graphics on its fender. Actually, the car became so famous that the replica of the same car was restored with a 350 HP powerhouse under the hood.
The seller said that the car was restored "into a showpiece for exhibition” and that “unlike most movie cars, this one is fully functional as a normal driver with working gauges, heater, wipers, etc.” Well, cars like this are not common, and the seller kept a price tag of $39,998 in 2010. Surely, the car would have been sold quickly and shining in its full glory. Check it out below to see it in action.
6. 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Grand Sport
Remember the silver convertible that Toretto and “O” Conner stole from a running train in “Fast Five”? Yes, that’s the car we are talking about. Some reports will get you confused by saying that Diesel actually owns it but the reality is far from it. The actor doesn't own the 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Grand Sport and it has already been auctioned off by Volo Auto Museum in 2023 for an undisclosed amount.
5. 2010 BMW M5 E60
The 2010 BMW M5 was a great “family car” which came with superior performance and driving dynamics. Vin Diesel added one of these models to his garage for a price of $86,000, after shooting in a Fast and Furious movie. In Fast & Furious 6 (2013), Dominic and his crew were given several modified BMW E60 M5s with a mission related to Owen Shaw. Each BMW gets totally wrecked in the movie except for Toretto's M5.
4. Alleged Plymouths
As Dominic in the F&F franchise, Vin Diesel has sat behind the wheel of several classic cars, and the 1974 Plymouth Barracuda and 1970 Plymouth Road Runner are two of them. Furthermore, contrary to unverified reports, the actor doesn't own these cars in real life.
3. 1994 Toyota Supra
The 1994 Toyota Supra is another famed vehicle that is included in Vin Diesel's car collection but technically it doesn't belong to him. It was Paul Walker's car that has been auctioned off by Barrett-Jackson in 2023 for $550,000.
That being said, according to the latest reports by People magazine, Vin Diesel is set to reunite with the orange Supra in the latest installment of the Fast and Furious Franchise. He has even posted a video on his social media platforms including Instagram to give this info.
2. 2014 Lykan HyperSport
The 2014 Lykan HyperSport from Furious 7 is reported to be one of the prized possessions of Vin Diesel. However, the Lykan HyperSport vaporware hypercar is not part of Vin Diesel's car collection, according to Autoevolution. Well, he has never been spotted driving one in real life, and there's no denying that Vin owing one was just a rumor.
1. 1970 Chevy Chevelle
The 1970 Chevy Chevelle 2-door coupe has also been one of the preferred drives of Dominic Toretto in Fast N Furious 4. However, in personal life, the car is not under his ownership. The gray ‘Hero Car’ has been auctioned off by Lloyds Auctions in 2020. It also happens to be the most important car to the actor.
