Apart from his famous movie roles and political career, Arnold Schwarzenegger loves cars. His extensive collection ranges from classic American muscle cars to sleek European sports models and modern electric vehicles. Here are some of the most awesome cars in Schwarzenegger’s vast and expensive collection.

Military-Style Hummer H1

Given his iconic military and action roles, it’s no surprise Arnold Schwarzenegger owns a military-style olive-drab Hummer. Often seen driving it around Los Angeles, this beast, missing doors and featuring distinctive antennas, has a 6.6-liter Duramax turbocharged diesel V8, making it well-suited for even the harshest weather conditions.

Mercedes-Benz Unimog

Arnold’s Mercedes-Benz Unimog is a rare beast, more rugged than a Hummer H1. Though designed for off-roading, his medium-series Unimog still dominates city streets with its high clearance. Initially built for agriculture, Unimogs are now military favorites, and enthusiasts can import one for a hefty price.

Dodge Challenger SRT

As a muscle-building legend, it’s no shock that Arnold drives a Dodge Challenger SRT—a modern take on the classic 1970s muscle car. With a 470-horsepower 6.4-liter Hemi V8, this vehicle hits 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. Despite weighing over 4,000 pounds, it still delivers serious performance.

Bentley Continental GTC

When Arnold craves luxury without the performance of a supercar, he turns to his Bentley Continental GTC. This 5,100-pound British convertible offers comfort and power, and it carries a twin-turbocharged 6-liter W12 engine that delivers 552 horsepower. With a $250,000 price tag, it’s a perfect fit in his elite collection.

Ex-Military Dodge M37

Arnold’s love for military vehicles extends beyond his Hummers to a rugged ex-military Dodge M37 pickup. This Korean War-era truck may only have 78 horsepower, but its four-speed manual transmission and carbureted engine offer a hands-on driving experience. Despite its quirks, it’s a rare sight on neighborhood streets.

Mercedes-Benz Excalibur

Although many of Arnold’s cars are modern, his collection includes classics like the Excalibur convertible. While it mimics the 1928 Mercedes-Benz SSK, the Excalibur began production in 1965 as a neoclassic. With 300 horsepower and a 0-60 time under six seconds, it blends vintage style with modern performance.

Tesla Roadster

Arnold was an early adopter of eco-friendly driving with electric cars, snagging a first-gen Tesla Roadster straight from the production line. He still loves his silver cabriolet, a favorite among eco enthusiasts and petrolheads. It’s a standout choice with a 0 to 60 time under 4 seconds and a true sports car design.

Custom Kreisel Electric G500

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s love for powerful cars extends to his custom electric G-Wagon by Kreisel Electric. With a 482-horsepower e-motor, it rockets from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.6 seconds. Despite missing the rumble of his diesel V6, Arnold praises the nearly silent Kreisel for its impressive speed, 190-mile range, and enhanced off-road capabilities.

Hummer H2

Opting for a more refined ride, the seven-time Mr. Olympia bodybuilder enjoys the modern Hummer H2 over the rugged H1 and his Unimog. The H2 offers heated seats, a Bose sound system, and a stylish touch. Unfortunately, it lacks fuel efficiency and speed. Starting around $70,000, it excels in cargo space and towing strength.

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster

With a love for German convertibles, Arnold’s top choice is the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster. It swaps the coupe’s iconic gull-wing doors for a thrilling open-top design while preserving the 300 SL’s classic look. Despite the added weight, its 563-hp V8 delivers a top speed of 197 mph.

Bentley Continental GT Supersports Convertible

Why settle for one Bentley when you can make a statement with two? Arnold’s second Bentley Continental GT Convertible, the SuperSports edition, delivers an exhilarating 621 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. Reaching 204.4 mph and accelerating from 0 to 60 in under 3.7 seconds, it’s the ultimate blend of speed and style, priced at $280,000.

Custom Audi R8

Arnold’s passion for German sports cars extends beyond Mercedes, including the custom Audi R8. Celebrated for its impressive handling and its appearance in “Iron Man,” this 2006 debutant shares parts with Lamborghini. With options for a 414-hp V8 or a 525-hp V10, the R8 has exceptional speed, grip, and dynamic Quattro all-wheel drive.

Porsche 997 Turbo Cabriolet

Sparking debate among car enthusiasts, the sleek convertible turns heads wherever it goes. Is it a 911 or 997? It turns out it’s both. This turbocharged beast has 572 horsepower and rockets from 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds. Its top speed of 199 mph makes it a crown jewel in any collection.

Bentley Arnage

To navigate the spotlight and keep his family shielded from paparazzi, Arnold frequently chooses the Bentley Arnage. The opulent British sedan, manufactured from 1998 to 2009, features a twin-turbocharged 6.75-liter engine with 493 horsepower and a 5.3-second 0-60 time. This model also comes with an optional $300,000 armor for added security.
