Idris Elba’s supercar collection isn’t just about speed

The first car on the list is the Jaguar XE, which is one of the more affordable options in his collection.

It is powered by a relatively modest 3.0L engine, which boasts just 180 horsepower.

Elba showcased the Jaguar XE during a 750-mile journey from London to Berlin, starting the drive at his former college, the National Youth Music Theatre in London.

He ended his trip at the Jaguar XE’s exclusive launch party in Germany’s capital.

The actor has also shown interest in the Ford Mustang Mach-E, an all-electric SUV that combines the iconic Mustang heritage with modern electric performance.

The Mach-E has already set the record for the longest EV journey on a single charge, and has already surpassed the iconic Ford Mustang in terms of sales.

His association with Ford dates back to his early days, having worked at a Ford factory, and the Mach-E represents a full-circle moment in his automotive journey.

Idris Elba isn’t afraid to race in his cars

Another iconic car in Idris Elba’s supercar collection is his Ford Fiesta R1 Rally Car.

This car is definitely a step up in performance, with a 1.6L turbocharged engine that boasts 380 horsepower.

The actor once took on the challenge of driving this rally car during the Circuit of Ireland Rally.

This experience was part of his Discovery series ‘Idris Elba: No Limits’, where he pushed his driving skills to new heights.

The Fiesta R1, known for its agility and responsiveness, proved to be a thrilling addition to his automotive adventures.

Combining luxury with performance, the Bentley Continental GT is another highlight in Elba’s collection.

This grand tourer offers a seamless blend of comfort and speed, making it a favorite for long drives.

Elba’s appreciation for the Bentley Continental GT was also evident during his ‘No Limits’ series, where he showcased the car’s speed by breaking the British ‘Flying Mile’ land record.

He raced the Bentley Continental GT at a top speed of 180.361mph, breaking the previous record of 174.8mph set by Sir Malcom Campbell in 1927.

While Idris Elba’s supercar collection isn’t the flashiest or the most expensive, at least by Hollywood standards, you can’t deny the actor’s got style.
