From a 1970s Dodge Colt – his first ever car – to cruising the skies in his own US$20 million Gulfstream jet complete with its own jacuzzi, Cruise has come a long way

The Top Gun: Maverick star is famous for doing his own motorcycle and car stunts, but did you know he also has several pilots licenses and owns a vintage jet from 1946?

Thrilling car chases, dangerous motorbike stunts and edge-of-the-seat aeroplane flying fill Tom Cruise’s films, from the first Mission Impossible 26 years ago to the latest Top Gun sequel. While the actor certainly entertains fans by zooming across the screen, Cruise has a need for speed in real life too.

This action star is a true vehicle collecting maverick, and his garage features million-dollar rides from vintage cars and cool motorcycles, to World War aeroplanes! In fact, several of his favourites are reportedly taken from the sets of his most popular films.

So let’s take a closer look at all the cool, sleek and luxurious automobiles (and other modes of transport) Cruise owns.

Cruise’s car collection has included everything from a 1970s Dodge Colt (reportedly the first car he ever bought) to the latest Bugattis and Porsches, but his most notable might be his 1949 Buick Roadmaster, which he used in movie Rain Man alongside Dustin Hoffman, according to website The Richest.

After Mission Impossible partnered with the BMW-7 series, Cruise is said to own multiple versions of the brand’s cars. According to Hot Cars, BMW gifted the Hollywood megastar a top-of-the-line model. But his collection dates back long before the MI franchise films. GQ magazine says that Cruise brought his first BMW 3-Series E30 in 1983 after his role in films The Outsiders and Taps.
