I Spent 24 Hours Researching John Cena’s Garage and Here’s What I Found

John Cena recently announced his retirement from WWE after over two decades of dominance. But here’s what most fans don’t know: John Cena’s garage rivals his wrestling legacy in sheer jaw-dropping power.

I spent 24 hours digging through auction records, interviews, and verified sources. What I discovered will blow your mind. Let me take you on a ride through one of the most authentic American muscle collections you’ll ever see.

• 2006 Ford GT: 

John Cena’s 2006 Ford GT pays homage to the 1960s Le Mans winner. Ford wind tunnel tested every inch of it. Cena’s example has been driven only 1,250 miles. Here’s what Cena himself said about it: 

“This car is pretty amazing in its performance and drivability aspects, because it is built to run.”

Under the hood sits a supercharged 5.4L V8 pumping out 550 hp. Torque comes in at 677 Nm. Ricardo developed the 6-speed manual transmission specifically for this beast. Cena went with the stripe delete model, which gives it a cleaner look.

Zero to 100 km/h happens in just 3.3 seconds. Top speed? A blistering 330 km/h. Forged alloy wheels grip the pavement. Red-painted brake calipers peek through the spokes. Inside, you’ll find a Macintosh Audio System for those rare drives. Some of these Ford GTs have sold for $1 million at auction. 

That’s how special they are.

• 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird: 

Only 1,920 Plymouth Superbirds were ever built. This is one of the rarest muscle cars in existence. That massive wing isn’t just for show. It was designed for high-speed stability on NASCAR tracks. Cena explained it perfectly: 

“We’re fighting each other, both mechanically and most importantly, aerodynamically.”

Under that long hood is the legendary 426 Hemi V8 that cranks out 425 hp. The top speed is 240 km/h, which was mental for 1970. The handling isn’t good, and the brakes aren’t good either. But that’s not why you buy a Superbird. You buy it because it’s a rolling piece of American racing history.

Prices for clean examples are well into six figures now. John Cena’s car collection includes some serious investments.

• InCENArator: 

The InCENArator was custom-built specifically for John Cena by Parker Brothers Concepts. It’s based on the C7 Corvette, but you’d never know it. There’s a button that shoots flames from eight exhaust pipes. There are no doors. 

Instead, you get a clamshell glass dome just like a jet canopy. You literally have to climb into this thing. LED headlights are integrated into the front fascia. It rolls on massive 24” deep-dish chrome rims. The stance is aggressive, angry, and completely over-the-top.

Under the skin sits a 5.5L naturally aspirated V8 from the C7R race car. Power output is 493 horses with 650 Nm of torque. It’s mid-engined for better weight distribution. The InCENArator also made an appearance at the 2013 Gumball 3000 rally. 

• 1966 Dodge Hemi Charger 426: 

Here’s arguably the most legendary muscle car ever constructed in America. Dodge built 37,000 of these Chargers back in the day. The fastback silhouette is iconic. Hidden headlights give it a menacing front end, and the pillarless hardtop design is pure 1960s. That legendary 426 Hemi V8 makes 425 hp. Top speed hits 240 km/h.

Inside, you’ll find the classic piston grip shifter. Recent auctions have fetched over $130,000 for clean examples. 

• 1969 COPO Camaro: 

COPO stands for Central Office Production Order. These were special, limited-production muscle cars built by Chevrolet for serious racers. This legendary Camaro packs a big-block 427ci L72 engine. No badges on the outside. These cars were often stripped down for weight. 

Cena’s example still has its factory chambered exhaust. It was built in the first week of December 1968 at the Chevy Van Nuys plant. It’s among only seven ever assembled in Los Angeles. ¼ mile times dip under 12 seconds. Painted in Garnet Red, Cena bought this piece of history in 2007 for $175,000.  

• 2007 Ford Mustang Saleen Parnelli Jones Edition: 

This Mustang is a tribute to Parnelli Jones, and only 500 of these were ever made. He’s the man who dominated the SCCA Trans-Am series in 1970. Saleen modified the 302 V8 to produce 400 hp and 528 Nm of torque. 

They added a high-performance camshaft and lightweight forged pistons with a close-ratio 5-speed manual transmission that keeps you in the power band. The suspension is race-derived. Saleen installed a Watts link setup with upgraded springs, shocks, and sway bars.  Braking comes from massive Saleen 14” rotors. 

• 1970 Buick GSX: 

Chassis number 656 out of 678. That’s how rare John Cena’s GSX is. The massive 7.5L 455 cubic inch engine sits under the hood. Buick claimed 360 hp for insurance reasons. Real-world testing reveals the truth: 425 hp.

Cena went with Apollo White paint. The TH400 automatic transmission means this is a point-and-shoot muscle car. Inside, leather bucket seats and a rally steering wheel complete the package.

The performance is brutal. Zero to 100 km/h takes just 5.5 seconds, while a ¼-mile run finishes in 13.38 seconds. Buick’s Rally Ride Control suspension keeps things relatively civilized. This is muscle car royalty wearing a tuxedo.

• 2017 Ford GT: 

According to Ford, you can’t sell this car before 24 months of ownership. Despite signing the contract, Cena sold his after just a few months. Ford later sued him for breach of contract. The settlement terms remain confidential.  

But let’s talk about the car itself. The mid-engine layout is pure racing pedigree. Powered by a 3.5L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6, which makes 647 hp and 745 Nm of torque. Zero to 100 km/h takes just 2.9 seconds, and ¼-mile runs finish in 10.6 seconds. 

The Top speed hits 347 km/h. Active aero adjusts on the go for maximum downforce and minimum drag. The 7-speed DCT is lightning quick. Cena’s example wore Liquid Blue paint, and stunning doesn’t even begin to describe it.

• 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4: 

John called it the “Lamborgreenie”. One look at the rare Verde Scandal paint job explains why. It’s 5.2L V10 puts out 552 horsepower, and AWD grounds it. Zero to 100 km/h takes 3.7 seconds, and top speed reaches 320 km/h.

The custom green-and-yellow interior matches the exterior perfectly. The 6-speed E-gear transmission delivers rapid shifts while heated power seats and a HomeLink system add practicality. This is John Cena’s garage at its most flamboyant.

• 1969 MG CGT: 

This is the oldest car in Cena’s collection, but it’s far from original. Cena swapped in a 6.2L LS3 V8, making 430 horsepower. A Tremec T56 transmission handles all that grunt, along with a 10-bolt rear axle, which keeps things reliable.

Its Metallic grey paint gives it a very sinister look. It rolls on 18” US Mags Rambler wheels. It comes equipped with Wilwood disc brakes with orange-painted calipers that provide serious stopping power. Inside, a Bluetooth audio system connects to a 1,000W amplifier and a 10” Rockford Fosgate subwoofer.

This is how you do a restomod right. 

• 1989 Jeep Wrangler: 

This one holds special meaning in John Cena’s car collection as it’s one of Cena’s first cars ever purchased with his own money. In his own words: 

“This baby is the first thing I bought when I got a little smoke for myself from the WWE.”

The 4.2L inline-six engine produces 112 horsepower, which isn’t impressive by any standard. Zero to 100 km/h takes approximately 14 seconds, while the top speed is around 140 km/h. This Wrangler represents where Cena came from before the fame and fortune. 

It’s a reminder of humble beginnings before the championship belts, movie deals, and Hollywood stardom. 

• 2009 Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1: 

The C6 ZR1 is a genuine American supercar that proved Chevrolet could compete globally. It came with a 6.2L supercharged LS9 V8 that produces 638 hp and 815 Nm of torque. Zero to 100 km/h takes 3.4 seconds, and the top speed is 330 km/h.

Cena specced the $10,000 premium interior package that covered everything in leather. The premium Bose sound system delivers concert-quality audio throughout the cabin. Side airbags and Bluetooth connectivity were included along with other luxury features.

Its carbon-fiber hood featured a polycarbonate glass panel that showcased the supercharger beneath it. This was the 73rd ZR1 ever produced.

• 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren:

SLR stands for Sport Light Racing, which was the philosophy behind this German-British collaboration. In 2008, Mercedes and McLaren joined forces to create something truly special and outrageous. It had a 5.4L supercharged V8 cranking out 620 hp with that signature supercharger whine. Cena described it best in his own words: 

“They carbon fibered the sh*t out of this thing.” 

The carbon fiber body keeps weight down while maintaining incredible structural rigidity. Butterfly doors make a dramatic entrance wherever you park this masterpiece. Its Black paint gives it a sinister presence that commands attention without being flashy. 

This is German engineering precision meets British racing heritage at its absolute finest.

• 2012 Range Rover Autobiography Ultimate Edition: 

Cena admits he’s a Range Rover fanatic, and this Autobiography Ultimate Edition proves it. Only 50 of these were ever made worldwide for an exclusive clientele. The custom grille sets it apart immediately from regular Range Rovers on the street.

This is the only Range Rover ever to offer four captain chairs instead of bench seating. Integrated iPad rear entertainment keeps passengers occupied on long drives with modern technology. The custom leather interior is absolutely opulent, screaming luxury from every surface.

The theatre seat configuration provides comfort that rivals first-class airline seats, honestly. A refrigerator with champagne glasses sits in the back for on-the-go celebrations. Custom motorized running boards deploy automatically when you open the doors, making entry easier.

The teak wood tailgate is a genuine work of art, crafted by craftsmen who spent hours perfecting it. This isn’t just an SUV in John Cena’s garage; it’s a rolling statement about success.
