Chevrolet makes the cut 

It’s not surprising to find quite a few vintage muscle carts in Diesel’s collection. According to
Hot Cars
, the 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Grand Sport seen in the Fast Five movie made its way to his garage. 
This model is one of only 199 ever made, and typically racks up a smooth 100 grand at auctions. 
This ultra-rare model has a unique look and features including a front anti-roll bar, large-diameter shocks, and a vacuum brake booster. The 3.2-liter V8 engine delivers 300 horsepower and can reach speeds of 142 mph. 
Another notable muscle car from Chevrolet in Diesel’s garage is the 1970 Chevelle.
Often regarded as the best muscle car of the 1970s, the Chevelle was one of the first General Motors cars to feature a 7.4-liter (400ci) V8 engine—something that had previously been banned among midsize vehicles made by GM prior to 1970. 
The engine in the 1970 Chevelle makes 360 horsepower and can go from zero to 60 mph in 6.0 seconds.

Vin Diesel is partial to Dodge muscle cars

Another brand you’re going to get familiar with if you step into Vin Diesel’s garage is Dodge. 
The 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona stands out among the collection for its extremely timeless appeal and signature red color. Vin’s was built on the Chrysler B platform and sports a 7.0-liter HEMI V8 engine that makes 390 horses. Only about 503 were ever built. 
Fans of Dodge muscle cars will also be pleased to find the 1970 Dodge Charger Tantrum. This glossy, jet-black beauty was a birthday gift from the Fast & Furious crew. 
The Dodge Charger Tantrum produces an astronomical 1,650 horses thanks to a 9.0-liter 9.0-liter Mercury Racing twin-turbo V8 boat engine. It's worth over $700,000. 

Plymouth, BMW, and more

Among the other impressive cars in Vin’s collection include a 1993 Mazda RX7, a 1974 Plymouth Barracuda, a 1994 Toyota Supra, a 2010 BMW E60 M5, and the 2014 Lykan Hypersport. 
Out of all of the cars in his collection, the Lykan Hypersport is probably the most impressive. Just one of 7 ever made, this car is estimated to be worth over $3.4 million. 
It features a 3.7-liter twin-turbo flat-six-cylinder engine that makes 780 hp and reaches speeds of 245 mph.
 While it wasn’t driven by Diesel in the movie, this car did make an appearance in Furious 7.
