John Cena is likely the biggest star to emerge from the WWE, second to only (maybe) the Rock. He is a 16-time world champion, a two-time Royal Rumble winner, and one-time Money in the Bank winner. Though he doesn’t appear in a wrestling ring very much anymore, his impact is still deeply felt within the WWE. His most recent match was at SummerSlam 2021, where he challenged Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship. Since then, he's been working on his acting career; he recently starred in the HBO and DC Comics series Peacemaker along with the film Suicide Squad.

This wealth allows Cena to indulge in some rather expensive hobbies, the most prominent being car collecting.

John Cena's Wealth From Wrestling And Acting Has Led To A Muscle Car Collection

John Cena’s car fixation is particularly focused on a type of vehicle called a muscle car. These cars are American-made sports coupes with incredibly powerful engines and sleek designs, such as the Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang. Wrestling fans might find these cars especially suitable for Cena, the no-nonsense, all-American babyface.

John Cena owns more than 20 muscle cars, and they're not the standard vehicles you'd expect to see in a car collection; many of these cars are rather niche, suggesting that Cena has a real eye for mechanical artistry.

One Of John Cena's Car Is Worth Half A Million Dollars

A tour of John Cena's car collection lets you know just how lavish of a lifestyle he can afford (they are, after all, kept in the garage of his mansion in Tampa, Florida). The cars in his collection are some of the most expensive ever made. For example, the most expensive car in his collection is currently his 2017 Ford GT. He was one of the very few customers handpicked by Ford to own the car. It's worth about $500,000. Though the car is an incredible gem for Cena, it did cause him some trouble a few years back; in 2018, he tried to sell the car just a few months after purchasing it. This was a violation of a contract he signed with Ford as one of their hand-picked customers. The car brand consequently sued Cena. The two parties reached a settlement that saw Cena pay an undisclosed amount of money to the company.

Another stand-out piece of Cena's lineup is the 2007 Ferrari F430 Spider, worth about $250,000. Cena likes to boast about this car's six-speed gated manual transmission, which was actually one of the last manual transmission cars manufactured by Ferrari. Cena's knowledge in this regard hints at his advanced, sophisticated taste in automobiles.

Cena's 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird, also worth about $250,000, is another gem. This supercar is covered in a head-turning orange sheen and boasts a 425-horsepower 7.0-liter engine. It can reach a top speed of over 150 mph.

One of Cena's cars offers a fun connection to his movie career (whether this was Cena's intention or not is unclear, though). It's the 2007 Dodge Charger SRT-8 Super Bee. It's a vibrant yellow car with a stunning design. Fans who look at it can't help but think of the film Bumblebee from the Transformers franchise, one of Cena's highest-grossing films to date. It's unknown if this car is actually an alien that can transform into a fighting robot.

Unfortunately, going through each and every piece of John Cena's collection would take a novel's worth of words. And there are some real gems left to discuss, too. For example, Cena also owns a 1966 Dodge Hemi Charger, a 1969 COPO Chevrolet Camaro, a 1991 Lincoln Continental, and a 1970 Buick GSX to name a few of these iconic automobiles.

One Of John Cena's Cars Even Shoots Out Flames

Arguably the most unique car in Cena's collection is the Corvette "InCenaRator." This car was custom-made especially for Cena as the name might suggest. It's perhaps the most gaudy piece in the collection, but it's a cool design nonetheless. The vehicle is like a cross between a luxury convertible and a spaceship. Its glass roof (canopy, more like), opens upward into three panels. The car even sports 8 exhaust pipes that shoot out flames. It's a 10-year-old's dream come true.

Given John Cena's continuing financial success, there's no telling how else he'll expand his collection in the future. Maybe he'll even pull up to the WWE in one of these illustrious cars.
