Houston Astros pitcher Justin Verlander has a thing for baseball, Kate Upton, his daughter, and cars. A quick scroll through his Instagram feed shows pictures of little else. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

Among his collection, past and present, is a Ford GT, a replica of the 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback Eleanor, Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, Ferrari California, Ferrari 458 Italia, a Maserati Gran Turismo, a Mercedes-Benz SL55, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Audi R8, BMW M760i, and an Aston Martin DBS.

In January, Verlander told MLive.com, “I always envisioned having a collection if I made it and got to that point,” Verlander said. “It was always a dream of mine. And I would say I have a pretty decent collection now.”

Second-Generation Ford GT

Verlander’s Ford GT is one of one, a custom-made creation with lightning fast speed, planted performance, and sleek lines. The model debuted in 2016 and deliveries began in 2017. The Ford GT is powered by a EcoBoost 3.5-liter V6 that employs 647 horsepower and 550 pound-feet of torque to get its 3,300-ish pound body moving.

1967 Ford Mustang Fastback Eleanor

The Eleanor Mustang, as its affectionately called, is the car Nicolas Cage drove in “Gone in 60 Seconds.” The production company built 11 of them for the movie but only three were used in driving scenes. Those three are the only fully functioning models.

Verlander got his with help from Fusion Motor Company about 19 months ago. The replica of a Mustang Eleanor has a starting price of $189,000 and tops out near $285,000. The car is officially licensed by Ford Motor Company and models are still available for purchase.

Lamborghini Aventador Roadster

Verlander clearly has a penchant for powerful cars and the Lamborghini in his collection is no exception. Powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine the open-top model has typically beefy Lambo lines and an aerospace-inspired interior.

Ferrari California T

There have been two generations of the Ferrari California with the second (2015-2018) being the sexier and more desirable. The second-gen is powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 that gets 553 horsepower and 557 pound-feet of torque. It’s only 60 percent as heavy as the Ford GT, with nearly as much oomph. According to Verlander, his wife chose the specs on this one.

Ferrari 458 GTB

The smile on the Ferrari 458 Italia is like that on the Cheshire Cat. Its soft and subtle supercar lines are of a bygone design area despite the fact that the car was produced starting in 2011 and running through 2016. The predecessor to the Ferrari 488 was available new in a traditional format or in several special editions. Power comes from its 4.5-liter V8, which achieves 562 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque.

Ferrari 488 Pista

About a year ago, Verlander teased a Ferrari 488 Pista he touted as being on order. The model features the most powerful Ferrari V8 ever made, which gets it from zero to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds. It has Formula 1-inspired ducts and a massive rear spoiler. Certain components are made of carbon fiber including the engine cover, bumper, and rear spoiler.

Astin Martin DBS

The Aston Marketing DBS was made through 2012. It came standard with a V12 engine that was paired with either a standard six-speed manual or an available six-speed automatic transmission. The only 3,400 units of the 510-horsepower model were built.

Audi R8

Sold starting in 2006, the Audi R8 is a coupe that sports the automaker’s permanent all-wheel drive system. It was originally based on the Lamborghini Gallardo platform. When it was new, the R8 was the first production car with full-LED headlights, something that is commonly available on most mass market models today.

BMW M760i

This luxury large sedan is massive in its size and power. Up until 2019, it was one of the few remaining models that housed a V12 engine under its hood. The car is mostly steel but there are key aluminum elements like the hood, trunk, and door skins. With the V12 it can hit 601 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque.
