He also has a Koenigsegg CCXR that's capable of producing speeds of 250 mph. On the 'stylish' end of the spectrum, there's a Rolls-Royce Ghost and a Mercedes SLS AMG Black—one of only 150 ever made.

John Cena

John Cena's catchphrase, "You can't see me," is a little less believable when the big, burly professional wrestler and actor steps out from his 1971 Plymouth Road Runner, 1970 Buick GSX, or his 1989 Jeep Wrangler or Rolls-Royce Phantom. The bulk of his cars are classic American muscle cars, though.
