Much like her MCU character, Black Widow, Scarlett Johansson prefers her cars brawny, bold, and blacked-out.
We all love Scarlett Johansson, don’t we? The MCU star is among the most influential celebrities in the world. She was the world’s highest-paid actress in 2018 and 2019 and is a constant on the Forbes Celebrity 100 list these days.
We fell in love with ScarJo when she drove a modern-day Corvette in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. While ScarJo doesn’t own a Corvette in real life, her car collection is nonetheless incredibly impressive, just like her Hollywood counterparts and Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) co-stars.
Much like her MCU character, Black Widow, Scarlett Johansson prefers her cars black. Her collection seems to be heavily on the German side with five of them from Mercedes-Benz alone. The rest of the cars include a Maserati Quattroporte, Mini Cooper JCW, and an Audi Q5.
Let’s have a look at some of the cars that “The Black Widow” drives.
Two Mercedes-Benz SUVs: GLC 250 & GLE 350
We know that Scarlett Johansson likes her cars German and big. The Jojo Rabbit star seems to be a massive Merc fan. She is a proud owner of the Merc GLC 250 and has been captured cruising in this luxurious beast plenty of times by the shutterbugs. With posh interiors and stunning exteriors, ScarJo’s GLC 250 is an expensive car that would cost you over $50,000.
Powered by impressive performance features, it can easily clock over 100 miles per hour and is capable of going from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 6.8 seconds. It is almost like her taste in automobiles matches that of her MCU character. The Corvette she drove in the Captain America film is black, and so is the CCM Spitfire Scrambler that we saw her riding in the Black Widow trailer. Just a mere coincidence? Maybe or maybe not.
The Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 happens to also have a spot in her collection. The GLE 350 seems to be the perfect mix of comfort, style, and luxury, and it is not a surprise that ScarJo has taken a liking to the car. She loves her GLE 350 so much that she prefers cleaning it herself, whenever she gets a chance.
ScarJo’s GLE 350 is equipped with a 2.0 liter, four-cylinder turbocharged engine, with the ability to generate about 255 horsepower and 273 pounds-feet of torque. The powerful engine works in tandem with a nine-speed automatic transmission, to deliver seamless performance. The Merc GLE 350 also boasts the “Hey Mercedes” feature: a voice-controlled concierge, that works like Apple’s Siri or the Google Assistant. ScarJo’s GLE 350, not so surprisingly, features incredibly impressive interiors.
On the outside, Johansson’s model – a stunning-looking all-black beast – is a sight to behold. If you haven’t noticed it already, apart from her liking for big and luxurious German cars, Scarlett Johansson also prefers her automobiles black. And it is no different when it comes to her GLC 350 model, just like her Audi Q5 and Merc GLE 250 models.
Audi Q5
During her Don Jon days, the American actress was often spotted arriving for shoots and promotional events in her stunning 2012 Audi Q5. It is just another instance of the Black Widow star making a strong case for classy European cars, with the Audi Q5 being an extremely popular choice for luxury car enthusiasts around the globe.
Her Audi Q5 is an incredible-looking all-black model that is capable of turning plenty of heads. This 5-door SUV is a performance monster, featuring an all-wheel-drive layout. Originally designed by Christian Winkelmann in 2005, the 2012 facelift saw the Q5 receive a set of front and rear light configurations, and a new set of engines that increase both output and efficiency.
The turbocharged 2-liter 16v-inline-4 engine produces 175 horsepower and works in tandem with an efficient transmission system. The result is a top speed of 127 mph and a 0-62 mph time of 9.3 seconds.
Maserati Quattroporte
While Scarlett seems to have a soft spot for German cars, she has a very desirable Italian in her collection too. She owns a Maserati Quattroporte. While she hasn’t been clicked much along with her Italian counterpart, there have been instances of her arriving for award functions in the Maserati. This sporty Italian saloon is offered in two engine options – a 345 hp 3.0-Liter V6 and a 523 hp 3.8-Liter Twin-Turbo V8. We suspect Scarlett to have the sober V6-powered Quattroporte, finished in a shade of silver.
Mini Cooper JCW
A unique car in ScarJo’s collection is this furious little Brit. The Mini Cooper JCW is a hoot to drive around and is aptly called a go-kart for the roads. She owns one, and we bet that she will not sell it off, because of the grin that it puts on her face. The tiny inline-4 in the JCW-ed Cooper churns out 228 hp and also comes with an option to slap on a stick shift.
Scarlett sure does have a versatile taste in automobiles. Apart from these, she also owns occasion-specific cars like a Mercedes-Benz V-Class, a Mercedes E-Class, and a Mercedes S-Class (the 550). As we mentioned earlier, she is a huge German fan.
