Matt LeBlanc\u2019s classic car collection is nothing short of extraordinary YouTube: BBC AmericaWhile many were surprised to see Friends star and sitcom actor Matt LeBlanc as one of the hosts for BBC\u2019s Top Gear for a stint, it turns out LeBlanc is in fact a massive petrolhead, and has a collection of classic cars that is the stuff of dreams. Anyone that has watched Friends knows the scene where Matt\u2019s character Joey pretends to own a Porsche. Well, it turns out that there\u2019s a degree of truth in that scene \u2014 LeBlanc is a massive fan of the Porsche brand, and has a number of their cars in his fleet. Unlike most celebrity car collections, however, Matt\u2019s is a lot more classic-oriented than most. From early air-cooled Porsches to unusual Jeeps, he has a classic for almost any occasion, as well as a number of cutting-edge supercars for good measure. Matt LeBlanc\u2019s incredible Porsche collection Porsche clearly hold a special place in Matt\u2019s heart. From the air-cooled \u2018widowmaker\u2019 930 911 Turbo to the cutting-edge 911 GT2 RS, his collection spans a number of decades and styles. There is a noticeable bias towards the classics here, too. Prior to the 996-era of 911 launching in 1997, Porsche\u2019s engines were mostly air-cooled, and this is where most of Matt\u2019s collection is focused. While there are no doubt some hidden gems that are kept away from public eyes, we do know he owns the following: 2012 911 Carrera GTS – 1988 964 (911) Carrera – 1987 930 (911) Turbo – 2014 911 Turbo S – 2016 911 R – 2017 911 GT2 RS – Despite his love for Porsche, there\u2019s one he\u2019d never buy: A 914. In an interview with Men\u2019s Journal, he said \u201cI\u2019m not a fan of the 914, though I know there are some die-hard fans out there. I\u2019ll get letters about that.\u201d Matt LeBlanc\u2019s exotic cars While his biggest love is Porsche, Matt also enjoys dabbling in other brands of four-wheeled transport too. Satisfying his \u2018hot hatch\u2019 requirements is his Ford Focus RS, an all-wheel-drive hatchback complete with \u2018drift\u2019 button. He also has a classic American muscle car in the form of a De Tomaso Pantera, complete with its room-shaking V8 engine. Good friend and previous co-host Chris Harris also revealed that Matt has bought himself a Ferrari Testarossa, which will sit nicely alongside his Pantera, and his other Ferraris \u2014 a 360 Modena and 458 Italia. Perhaps the most unusual car in his collection is a Fiat X1\/9. This diminutive, rear-engined Italian sports car must\u2019ve struck a chord with LeBlanc, as it\u2019s totally different from anything else in his collection. With its mix of iconic classics and modern supercars, Matt\u2019s collection is enviable \u2013 just don\u2019t tell him you\u2019re a fan of the Porsche 914, whatever you do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
