What does the actor turned race car driver keep in his garage?


Patrick Dempsey is an actor who's had global fame in several different generations. I grew up with him as a scrawny, but charming, character in several iconic '80s movies, but most people know him as McDreamy from Grey's Anatomy or Robert from Enchanted. These days, Dempsey seems to enjoy activites off camera, like racing. So what kind of cars spark the interest of Patrick Dempsey? Let's see.

Jaguar XK120

When McDreamy was swooning viewers on Grey's Anatomy, Patrick Dempsey was picking up this classic Jag. The XK120 was an extremely important model for Jaguar and it is accredited for launching the auto maker into the global spotlight.

Ferrari Daytona

It's not all smooth sailing with the cars he's owned, Dempsey called his Ferrari Daytona the worst car he's ever owned, but still loves the car. He noted that it had an impressive V12 engine, but it's a very difficult car overall.

Dempsey's 1982 Porsche 911 SC was given an upgraded 3.6-liter engine for more power, but it's largely a stock otherwise.

The track-ready Lotus Exige S is another vehicle Dempsey uses daily. This is an immensly fast car and shows that he's a true car guy with thirst for speed.
