With Euro 2024 now under way, the tournament not only brings together the best football talent across Europe, but also showcases the luxurious lifestyles of these star athletes. Among the many symbols of their success, their high-end car collections often stand out.
While there are undoubtedly many cars kept under wraps, let's take a look at some of the most expensive vehicles owned by footballers participating in Euro 2024, recently retired stars, and a certain Argentinian superstar.
Cristiano Ronaldo – Bugatti Centodieci
Cristiano Ronaldo is known for his extensive and extravagant car collection. One of the crown jewels is his Bugatti Centodieci, which he paid a reported £8.5 million. Limited to one of just ten ever produced, it is one of the rarest modern-day hypercars in the world and boasts a 1,600-horsepower engine capable of reaching speeds up to nearly 240 mph. Ronaldo's penchant for luxury and speed is perfectly epitomised by this automotive masterpiece.
Kevin De Bruyne – McLaren P1
Belgian footballer Kevin De Bruyne has a refined taste in cars, exemplified by his McLaren P1. This hybrid hypercar, valued at around £1.15 million, was one of the first hypercars of its day to combine cutting-edge hybrid technology with breathtaking performance. The McLaren P1 features a 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8 engine paired with an electric motor, producing a total of 903 horsepower. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.8 seconds.
Paul Pogba – Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Badge
Paul Pogba might not be travelling to the Euros with the French national team, but at least he has his extensive car collection to keep him company. The former Juventus and Manchester United midfielder is known for his flamboyant style both on and off the pitch, and his Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Badge, costing around £350,000, is a testament to his tastes.
The Wraith Black Badge is renowned for its bespoke craftsmanship, a twin-turbo V12 engine, and a top speed of 155 mph. The car allegedly spent 270 days in a police car pound running up charges of more than £5,500 after its number plates were reported to be registered in Monaco. This car perfectly matches Pogba's larger-than-life persona.
Sergio Ramos – Porsche 911 Turbo S
Now retired from professional football, Spanish defender Sergio Ramos has an impressive array of cars in his stable to keep him busy now that he has hung his boots up – including a Fiat 600!
However, it is his Porsche 911 Turbo S that has caught our eye. A car that combines every day usability with explosive performance. The 911 Turbo S, priced at approximately £160,000 when new, boasts a 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six engine, delivering 640 horsepower. It can reach 0 to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds, making it one of the fastest cars in its class.
Gareth Bale – Lamborghini Aventador
