It’s not just fish Harry Styles would walk through fire for—the classic Mercedes and Ferrari Dino in this singer’s garage says he’s got a sweet spot for vintage sports cars, too.
At just 18 years old, Styles made a splash when he started off his high-profile car collection with an Audi R8 and a 1970 Ford Capri. Since then, he’s been seen driving around in a gorgeous fleet of distinct sports cars that would make any car enthusiast’s heart rev.
Ready to see what sort of fine lines a billionaire singer and fashion icon curates in his vehicles? Let’s dive in.
2012 Range Rover Sport HSE
It’s rumored that Styles purchased his Range Rover Sport HSE
second-hand from his stepfather. While it’s unknown how much this transaction cost him, many report that he paid £15,000—about $19,612.88—just to insure this impressive SUV. At its lowest trim level, the HSE already comes with features like adjustable air suspension, front and rear parking sensors, and a navigation system with off-road tracking. Upgrading to the luxury package or the supercharged model brings even more comfort to your ride with Brembo brakes, premium leather upholstery, and an upgraded suspension system.
Had he or his stepfather upgraded to the Autobiography package, Styles would also be privy to adaptive headlights, a 360-degree parking assist camera, and a 17-speaker surround-sound audio system.
Not a bad idea for a pop singer’s first set of wheels, but truly any trim level of this model is a solid starter SUV.

The second vehicle Harry Styles was spotted in after turning 18 was a zippy, dark sun gray metallic Audi R8
coupe with sleek metallic silver side blades. It’s predicted that at the time of the purchase, Styles likely spent more than £100,000 for this desirable ride—which translates to roughly $130,751. Arguably, the steep price point is not without good reason, either: the R8’s impressive 4.2 V8 engine has 424-horsepower, can hit 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds, and allows a top speed of 187 mph.
It’s ironic, perhaps, that Styles’ first recorded outing with such a powerhouse sports car was to visit his parents in Cheshire. But hey, who said sports cars couldn’t be versatile in their use?
1970s Ford Capri
Just before his 19th birthday, Harry Styles picked up a white vintage Ford
Capri, which immediately got heads turning. Believed to be the MK1 1973 model, this vintage vehicle was considered an odd choice for Styles at the time because no one expected a boy band member to be a vintage motorhead. A UK-produced coupe intended to compete with the US Mustang
, the Capri was designed to be a luxury vehicle with an affordable price tag. While its high-quality interior and trim were well-praised, a face-lift to the grille from previous models and later a replacement of the CologneV6 based RS 2600 engine with the Essex V6 based RS 3100 encouraged better performance and higher sales. Marketed to North America as the “sexy European,” the Ford Capri certainly fit Harry Styles’ image for One Direction fans.

Sticking to his new affinity for vintage sports cars, Harry Styles was next seen cruising around Hollywood in a white 1966 Mercedes-Benz
230SL convertible. Designed to emphasize luxury while maintaining sports car edginess, the 1966 230SL was equipped with distinctive new proportions and a smoother V6 engine capable of hitting 125 mph.
Its removable hardtop has a concave center and lifted edges—improving cabin visibility while also giving it a landmark “pagoda” look. Typical of a Mercedes Benz, its build quality is exceptional—complete with a sturdy aluminum frame, double-wishbone front suspension, and a four-speed manual gearbox.
The 1966 230SL is definitely a vehicle that ages well. Like Styles himself, its look and brand only seem to grow cooler over time.
1972 Ferrari Dino 246 GT
Perhaps one of the priciest vehicles in Harry Styles’ collection is a bright yellow 1972 Ferrari Dino.
Listed at number seven of Motor Trend Classic’s “Ten Greatest Ferraris of All Time,” the 1972 Ferrari Dino 246 GT is a well-loved mid-engine sports car. Named after Enzo Ferrari’s son, Alfredino Ferrari, the 246 GT (and 206 GT) models were introduced as the “junior” Ferrari—engineered with compact structure, aerodynamic efficiency, and tight handling in mind.
The vehicle’s iconic appearance, incredible responsiveness, and easy handling and braking make it an extremely sought-after Ferrari by classic car collectors today. It’s no wonder Harry Styles snagged this golden gem up for himself.
2019 Tesla Model X
Engine: AC electric motor with 100-kWh lithium-ion battery pack
Perhaps returning to his SUV roots, Harry Styles has recently been observed going electric with the very capable 2019 Tesla Model X
compact SUV. In its standard trim, this impressive vehicle comes equipped with the famous (and controversial) autopilot mode along with a 17-inch cutting-edge infotainment screen, power rear Falcon Wing doors, and ample safety features like blind-spot warning and forward-collision warning.
The Model X’s greatest achievement, however, comes in its engine performance. With a 3.4 second 0 to 60 mph speed in its Performance model and a 2.7 second 0 to 60 mph time in Ludicrous Mode, the Model X is rated as the fastest electric SUV of 2019. Perfect for fuel-efficiently escaping those throngs of adoring fans!
Honorable mentions
As a singer, actor, and fashion icon, Harry Styles is a man of many talents—and a man of many vehicles, too. Here are a few more “sweet creatures” Styles has taken an interest in—but didn’t necessarily take home.
1975 Jaguar E-type Roadster
Harry Styles was spotted back in 2012 test driving a red 1975 Jaguar
E-type Roadster. While the singer ultimately left the sleek E-type at the dealership, his interest in it indicates his good taste—with 270 horsepower behind its V12 engine, this Jaguar is one powerhouse classic. Porsche 911 Sport Classic
After taking the Jaguar for a spin, Styles went for a drive in the ultra-rare, white Porsche
911 Sport Classic—an upgraded cousin of the 911 Carrera S
. With only 250 of these models out there, Styles could have been an exclusive owner of a 408 horsepower, double-dome roofed, highest standard Porsche sports car—but alas, it appears he needed to think this one over. 2018 Maserati Gran Turismo Convertible
While it’s unclear whether Harry Styles owns a 2018 Maserati
Gran Turismo convertible or he was just borrowing or renting, he was photographed arriving in one at a Google Camp event in July 2018. A comfort-oriented sports car with 454-horsepower, firm suspension, and carbon-fiber trim, the Gran Turismo would certainly be a fine choice if he did indeed back this out of his own garage. 1985 Alfa Romeo Spider
It’s well-known that Styles doesn’t own a 1985 Alfa Romeo
Spider, but he famously drove one in his music video for Golden, which earns it a place on this list. With the 1966 model already immortalized as Dustin Hoffman’s ride in The Graduate, Harry Styles draws fresh attention to the wooden steering wheel and roomier trunk that characterized later models. How to tackle car insurance shopping (and save money!)
Harry Styles has famously suffered from vintage vehicles breaking down on the road. But while camping out in a fan’s house until roadside assistance arrives is a luxury exclusive to a celebrity, having roadside assistance coverage
is not. With Jerry

“I heard about Jerry
