Owen Wilson voiced one of the most famous race cars in movie history.
Lightning McQueen is loud, fast, and permanently in race mode.
That makes it easy to envisage Wilson’s real-life garage mirroring that same full-throttle energy.
Alas, in reality, his car collection takes a much calmer road, and we’ve got the list.

Vintage Mercedes-Benz: the anti-Kachow cruiser
This is about as far from Lightning McQueen energy as it gets.
Wilson’s vintage Mercedes-Benz is built for cruising, not competing.
It’s old-school luxury in the purest sense, prioritizing comfort, craftsmanship, and a kind of quiet confidence that doesn’t need to announce itself.
No oversized spoilers, no performance theatrics, no need to chase lap times.
If McQueen lives for the checkered flag, this Mercedes is happy rolling through town at its own pace, soaking up the drive.
It fits Wilson’s laid-back public persona perfectly and suggests a love of cars that’s rooted in feel rather than flash.

Classic Porsche 911: apex hunting, not trophy chasing
If any car in Wilson’s garage speaks to driving joy, it’s the Porsche 911.
The 911 has always been a purist’s choice – timeless design, balanced handling, and a reputation built on decades of evolution rather than hype.
It’s a car for people who care about how a steering wheel feels in their hands, not just how a badge looks in photos.
Wilson has been spotted driving his around Los Angeles, which tells you this isn’t some untouched collector piece.
It’s less win-at-all-costs and more hit-every-corner-just-right.
Modern Ferrari: Lightning McQueen, but on his day off
Yes, there is a Ferrari, but even here, restraint wins.
Wilson’s modern Ferrari is the most performance-focused car in his collection, yet it still avoids the extremes.
Just a Ferrari chosen because it’s rewarding to drive.
Compared to McQueen’s animated bravado, this feels like horsepower with self-control.
It’s the closest his garage comes to race car territory, and even then, it’s played cool.
For someone forever linked to one of the fastest personalities in animated film, Owen Wilson’s real-world car taste is surprisingly grounded.
Lightning McQueen may live life at full throttle, but Owen Wilson seems perfectly content letting his garage idle.
