Brad Pitt has been donning full racing gear in filming for the new Formula 1-inspired movie Apex which will be released in the next year or two. The actor is not only a great candidate for the cast because of his excellent CV, which includes Fight Club and Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, but also because he is himself a car enthusiast. His collection ranges from luxurious 4x4s to American muscle cars, to some proper supercars. Read on below for the full list, including some which might surprise you.
One of the undoubted highlights of the collection is a 2015 Aston Martin Vanquish Carbon Edition, according to carhp.com. This was reportedly a gift to the actor from his ex-wife Angelina Jolie. The special edition Vanquish gets its name from the number of carbon fiber parts that reduce its weight. With that comes increased speed – a maximum of 201 mile-per-hour, going from 0-60 in 3.6 seconds, with 567 horsepower.
Brad also has space in his collection for some more comfortable, practical rides, like his black Audi Q7. This is often his go-to option for the school run and other everyday tasks. Despite that, it can still reach an impressive 155 mph, doing 0-60 in 7.7 seconds, with its 280 hp.
The Audi R8 Spyder is another in the collection which is very much a supercar. It can get above 200 mph – 203 to be precise – with 602 hp. Reaching 60 mph in 3.7 seconds, this convertible is unsurprisingly not one which we see the actor in very often.
Another which the actor is rarely seen driving is his Bentley Continental GT – a luxurious, high-performance sports car. These start at over $200,000, and every thousand dollars gets you almost one mile per hour, as the car’s top speed is 198 mph. It can reach 60 mph in 3.9 seconds, and boasts 542 hp.
The 2007 BMW Hydrogen 7 could be a surprise contender for the rarest car in the collection. On the outside, this looks like your everyday silver sedan, but under the bodywork, it houses a rare engine that can run off hydrogen gas, as well as conventional fuel. Only 100 units of the car were made, and they became owned by just a selection of celebrities and BMW executives. The performance is also like that of a normal sedan, with a top speed of 143 mph, getting to 60 mph in just under 10 seconds, and 256 hp.
This quintessential all-American muscle car is another highlight of the collection. Brad’s 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS is black with the iconic racing ᵴtriƥes down the middle in orange guaranteed to catch the eye. Along with the ᵴtriƥes, the 2010 model evokes the original 1960s edition of this car with an in-your-face grille and dual exhaust. Its V8 engine has a horsepower of 426, reaching 60 mph in 4.6 seconds, and a top speed of 155 mph.
Another luxurious SUV in the set is Brad’s Chevrolet Tahoe, weighing over 2.5 tonnes. It has a horsepower of 320 to lug itself around. But that is still only enough to get the Tahoe to a maximum speed of around 120 mph, reaching 60 in 7.5 seconds.
One notable piece of Brad’s collection is his 1996 Jeep Cherokee, known for its off-road capabilities and distinctive design. It is the oldest car in his collection by some distance, and will likely hold some sentimental value as a result. The four-wheel drive motor had a top speed of 112 mph and 271 hp upon its release, going from 0-60 mph in eight seconds. Unsurprisingly given the age and design, this also makes it Brad’s slowest car, but that should not take away from the nostalgia value and ruggedness.
This is almost certainly the most expensive car in the set. A Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 will be worth well over a quarter of a million, which probably explains why Brad is seen so rarely in this ride. Its V12 engine holds 700 hp and can help the car to speeds of 217 mph, reaching 60 in 2.9 seconds.
You probably wouldn’t expect a megastar like Brad Pitt to roll around in a standard Sedan, but he does from time to time. Albeit he has a sports model of the Lexus LS 460 F, in silver, he still uses it for many of the more mundane tasks in life, having been spotted in it with Angelina on several occasions. It is unlikely that the pair got to the car’s maximum speed of 155 mph on those occasions, or used all 360 of its horsepower. It can do 0-60 mph in just 5.6 seconds.
One of the cars most commonly associated with this is the Mercedes-Benz G 55 AMG, another variety of G-Class, also known as a G-wagon. Brad has been seen driving his since 2008. The vehicle combines luxury and outdoor performance, as well as boasting impressive power. This top-of-the-range G-wagon can do 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds, and reach a top speed of 130 mpg with its 493 hp.
Another of the cars on this list that you would possibly think of as more in keeping with Brad’s celebrity status is his Tesla Model S. He owns two – one in black and one in silver – which doubtless came in useful when one was involved in a crash in 2018. He is reportedly in the company of Will Smith, Leonardo DiCaprio, and, of course, Elon Musk, when it comes to celebrities who drive Teslas. The quiet electric engine of one of Brad’s models will still have 670 hp, and reach a top speed of 155mph, getting from 0 to 60 mph in just over three seconds.
