Few names in Hollywood history evoke the same blend of mystique, rebellion, and speed as James Dean. Though he starred in just three major films, Dean left an outsized cultural footprint—especially when it came to his love of fast machines. Off-screen, he was a bonafide gearhead, known for carving through California’s backroads, racing at amateur circuits, and falling head over heels for sleek European sports cars. Dean’s passion for speed went beyond one infamous crash—this is the story of his fast toys, and the rebel who refused to slow down.
