Jason Statham: Transitioning from Movie Screens to Real Roads, A True Car Enthusiast

Not only is he passionate about car-related movies, 𝐉𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐦 is also a big car guy in Hollywood with a huge car collection.

The upcoming blockbuster ”Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw” will be 𝐉𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐦’s second appearance in this fast-paced film series. However, 𝐉𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐦 has fallen in love with cars from the movie Transporter released nearly 20 years ago. Photo: Hotcars.

In real life, this action star is also a famous car enthusiast in Hollywood. Statham’s garage has a full range of vehicles such as 2-doors, sedans, classic cars and motorcycles. Photo: @jasonstatham.

𝐉𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐦’s latest car is the McLaren 720S Spider. In the movie ”Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw”, Statham also owns a 720S. McLaren 720S Spider was only launched at the end of 2018 for $315,000 in the US. The convertible supercar is equipped with a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine, producing 710 horsepower and 769 Nm of torque. The 720S Spider is capable of accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, with a maximum speed of 341 km/h. Photo: @jasonstatham.

Another convertible from England appeared in 𝐉𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐦’s garage: the black Aston Martin DBS Volante. DBS Volante is equipped with a 6.0L V12 engine with 510 horsepower and maximum torque of 569 Nm, accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 4.3 seconds. Photo: Hotcars.

Next is the racing-inspired supercar Porsche 911 GT3 RS. 𝐉𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐦 bought this car in 2017. Porsche 911 GT3 RS uses a 3.9L in-line 6-cylinder naturally aspirated engine that produces 513 horsepower. The car can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds and has a maximum speed of 312 km/h. Photo: @jasonstatham.

One of the rare Italian supercars of the “transporter” is the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. The prancing horse supercar is equipped with a 6.3L V12 engine, producing 730 horsepower. However, this star sold the Ferrari earlier this year to make room for the McLaren 720S Spider. Photo: Hotcars.

It can be seen that 𝐉𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐦 is very sympathetic to British car brands. After Aston Martin and McLaren, Jaguar is the third British brand present in this star’s garage. In 2015, 𝐉𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐦 bought an F-Type R Coupe right at the launch of this car model. In ”Fast & Furious 7”, 𝐉𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐦’s character Deckard Shaw also drives the same F-Type R Coupe. Photo: @jasonstatham.

In addition to the modern F-Type R Coupe, this star also has a vintage Jaguar E-Type. Statham’s E-Type was produced between 1960-1970, has a 5.2L V12 engine, produces 276 horsepower, can accelerate 0-100 km/h in 6.4 seconds and has a maximum speed of 240 km/h. Photo: Hotcars.

Contributing the most cars to 𝐉𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐦’s garage is Audi. After the movie Transporter, this star was captivated by the German brand. Statham purchased names such as S8, A8L, RS6 and R8. Stars often use Audi sedans for daily travel. Photo: Hotcars.

In addition to 4-wheeled vehicles, 𝐉𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐦 also loves motorcycles from the Triumph brand. This star owns a pair of Street Scramblers, a Bonneville and an extremely rare 1966 Bonneville T120 TT.
