He’s not as flashy as some celebrities.

In his hit single Starboy, The Weeknd (Abel Makkonen Tesfaye) says “we don’t pray for love, we just pray for cars.” When you look at the singer’s garage it’s obvious what he meant, because The Weeknd definitely appreciates exotic vehicles. Like many, he has a craving for speed and precision handling, things we can both respect and relate to.

The Weeknd’s car collection isn’t the largest we’ve seen from a celebrity. In fact, it’s on the smaller side of things. But quantity doesn’t necessarily equal quality. As you’re about to see, the musician’s car collection seems to have been carefully crafted and is an exercise in surprising restraint. The man isn’t applying leopard-print wraps or anything crazy to his vehicles, but instead seems to enjoy them in the purest sense.

It also came out earlier this year that The Weeknd has a cool garage where he keeps his rides in Los Angeles. The mansion contains a 5-bay garage with cool neon lighting which even marks out the parking spot for each vehicle, looking like something out of one of the artist’s music videos.

Porsche 911

Very little is known about The Weeknd’s Porsche 911, including exactly what year it is. Looking at few photos of the man with this classic German car reveals it’s almost certainly a G Series 911, which was made from 1974 to 1989. These air-cooled 911s are quite the collector’s items today, going for big money, although that would be chump change to The Weeknd.

Considering this might be the cheapest car in the man’s collection, some might just dismiss it and focus on other vehicles. But this 911 reveals that The Weeknd has an appreciation for simple German GTs and doesn’t just focus on how flashy a vehicle is. We can respect that.
