Inside Pedro Pascal’s garage: Exploring his car collection

Pedro Pascal is the very definition of “chameleonic,” equally embodying Din Djarin in The Mandalorian than Oberyn in Game of Thrones, a curious police officer (Javier Peña) in Narcos or even a character from a zombie video game, like Joel Miller in The Last of Us — a series that has just been recognized at the SAG Awards, where Pascal won the prize for Best Actor. He will soon play the role of Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic, in The Fantastic Four.

But what many do not know about this 48-year-old Chilean actor is that cinema and television are not his only passions: his acting skills are impressive, but so is his garage. Although this is not something he tends to mention on social media, the cameras have captured some of his models from time to time, and he certainly has his favorites.

According to various entertainment media outlets, Pascal has two Mercedes-Benz (G63 AMG and SL 550), a Porsche (a 1952 356) and a Dodge (a Challenger SRT). His predilection for German brands is clear.

Viral in a Porsche with Nicolas Cage

An image that went viral on TikTok shows the actor with Nicolas Cage in a 1952 Porsche 356. Although some media outlets report that this car in fact belongs to the Chilean, what is certain is that it was used in Croatia for the filming of Tom Gormican’s The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.

A scene from the film in which both characters make funny faces while riding in the car under the influence of drugs became a meme, so you probably have seen it. As for the vehicle itself, this model was presented for the first time on June 8, 1948, and it was the first that the German company ever made. As a fun fact, the car was inspired by previous Volkswagen models, such as the Beetle.

Pedro Pascal and his Dodge Challenger SRT

Although there are no photos to prove it, many media outlets claim that Pascal owns a Dodge Challenger SRT, a powerful American car with a powerful 807 HP engine. The Challenger SRT is one of the most powerful muscle cars on the market, capable of going from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds. A notable coincidence is that this is the same car that Vin Diesel used in Fast & Furious.

Mercedes-Benz SL550

This would be another jewel in his collection: a Mercedes-Benz SL 550. This two-door coupe has a 4.7-liter V8 engine, is capable of achieving 449 HP and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 4 seconds. The vehicle, in white, costs around $130,000.

Mercedes-Benz AMG G63

According to VIP Fortunes, another German car that Pascal owns is a Mercedes-Benz AMG G63. Considered one of the most capable SUVs on the market, it has a 4-liter V8 engine with 585 HP. This luxury SUV has an imposing exterior and a premium interior, with ample space for its five passengers and state-of-the-art technology in its infotainment system. Its price exceeds $215,000.

Yet another German car

Although the Audi A6 does not appear in the usual lists, this TikTok video is further proof of the Chilean’s taste for German cars.

Bonus: Pedro Pascal and a Ford Mustang

Even if this one it does not figure on his list of possible four-wheeled treasures, the truth is that Pedro Pascal enjoys driving any car. In an interview published by Esquire in 2019, the famous actor can be seen enjoying a 1969 Ford Mustang which, by the way, is the same model that Steve McQueen drove in the famous film Bullitt.
