What Car Does Auston Matthews Drive?

The Toronto Maple Leafs captain has never posted a full garage list. Here is what public reports actually say — and what Canadians can realistically lease instead.

Quick answer

Auston Matthews does not publish an official car list. Recent lifestyle coverage most often names a Lamborghini Aventador, a Porsche 911 Turbo S (he has a documented Porsche Oakville relationship), a McLaren 720S, and luxury daily drivers such as a Mercedes-Benz S-Class or Range Rover. Photos on this page show those models, not vehicles confirmed to sit in his driveway.

Who Auston Matthews is

Auston Taylour Matthews was born 17 September 1997 in San Ramon, California, and grew up in the Scottsdale, Arizona area. The Toronto Maple Leafs selected him first overall in the 2016 NHL Draft. He is the team’s captain and one of the league’s highest-paid centres. In 2023–24 he signed a four-year, US$53 million extension (US$13.25 million AAV) covering 2024–28. Endorsement partners have included CCM and, more recently, Ontario dealer group Policaro. He has also had a public relationship with Porsche Oakville.

That mix — NHL salary plus local auto partners — is why “what car does Auston Matthews drive” stays a Toronto search every season. It is also why the answer has to stay honest: players rotate cars, dealers loan press vehicles, and gossip sites copy each other.

Reported cars in his garage (2026)

The table below is a reported list compiled from lifestyle write-ups and past dealer announcements. None of these rows is a CarLeaseCanada inspection of his garage.

Model (reported) Role Typical Canada price band
Lamborghini AventadorHeadline exotic$450,000–$650,000+ used/new leftover
Porsche 911 Turbo S / GT3Track / weekend$250,000–$350,000
McLaren 720SSupercar$350,000–$450,000
Mercedes-Benz S-ClassQuiet daily$130,000–$200,000
Range Rover SportWinter / family$100,000–$160,000

1. Lamborghini Aventador

The Aventador is the car most recaps put first. The LP700-4 uses a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12; later SVJ versions made about 770 horsepower. Canadian list prices sat well above half a million dollars when new. It is a statement car, not a winter commuter. Toronto snow, speed bumps and underground-garage ramps are why even wealthy owners keep a second vehicle.

2. Porsche 911 Turbo S and GT3

Matthews’ Porsche Oakville partnership is the strongest public car fact we have. Coverage usually names a 911 Turbo S; some lists say GT3. The 992 Turbo S is the all-weather rocket (wide body, AWD). The GT3 is the track-focused, naturally aspirated sibling.

3. McLaren 720S

The 720S (710 hp twin-turbo V8, dihedral doors) appears in 2026 lifestyle recaps alongside the Aventador. It is lighter and more usable than a V12 Lamborghini, still impractical as a GTA daily.

4. Mercedes-Benz S-Class — the likely daily

If the question is “what does he drive to practice,” the honest answer is: probably not the Aventador. An S-Class, G-Class or Range Rover is what you see in Leafs player lots. The current S-Class is quiet, AWD-capable and easy in winter.

5. Range Rover Sport — Toronto winter car

High-riding, heated everything, and common in Forest Hill and Oakville. This is the vehicle class most Maple Leafs players actually keep year-round.

How he can afford them

The 2024–28 NHL deal alone is US$13.25 million a year. Add endorsements (CCM, Policaro, past bank and QSR work) and the exotic cars are a rounding error. That does not mean every photo of him next to a car is a purchase — athletes sit in dealer and sponsor cars constantly.

What other NHL stars drive

Connor McDavid is usually photographed with Porsches and a Range Rover. Sidney Crosby is famously dull on purpose (BMW X5, Audi Q7). Alex Ovechkin leans Mercedes G-Class. The pattern is the same: one loud car, one winter SUV. See the full roundup: what cars NHL players drive.

Can you lease Matthews-style cars in Canada?

A new Aventador or 720S lease is rare and expensive. The useful move for a Toronto driver is a luxury lease takeover: assume the remaining months on a car someone else already leased, often with a cash incentive and no new down payment.
