Messi, the “boss” of supercars in the football world
Lionel Messi not only owns the most individual titles in the world, his car collection is also the most…
Over the years, when talking about cars, fans will definitely think of Ronaldo first. He owns many expensive cars, from racing cars to luxury cars. Messi is more discreet, but in fact his garage is much more expensive than Ronaldo’s.
In a recent survey of the top 10 most expensive cars among football players, the Argentine superstar has 2, and just one of his cars is worth many of the cars below combined.
That is the Ferrari 335 s Spider Scaglietti supercar that Messi successfully bought at an auction in 2016. This car cost him up to 35 million USD (more than 800 billion VND). Not only limited to the football field, Messi owns the most expensive car in history.
The Ferrari 335 s Spider Scaglietti was bought by Messi for display
Interestingly, according to the New York Post , Ronaldo also participated in this auction. He did not want to lose the most expensive supercar to Messi. But when the price reached more than 30 million USD, Ronaldo gave up.
The Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti is super expensive partly because it is a classic car, born in 1957. It is equipped with a 3.8-liter V12 Tipo 140 engine, 360 horsepower. The car reached a maximum speed of more than 300 km/h, a world record at the time of its launch.
Messi is very fond of his “baby car”, although he can only use it for display and cannot drive it on the road. When he needs to move, he chooses other supercars that even football players would be jealous of.
Ronaldo’s $18.6 million Bugatti La Voiture Noire
That’s the Pagani Zonda Tricolore, which costs $1.7 million. Only three were ever made. That’s why this 829-horsepower, 6.0-liter V12 twin-turbocharged supercar is so expensive.
Of the top 10 most expensive cars owned by football players, Messi has two, and their combined value is more expensive than all of Ronaldo’s cars combined. The Portuguese star proudly drives a Bugatti La Voiture Noire, which costs $18.60 million. It is the second most expensive car owned by a football player, but it is only half of what Messi spent on a Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti.
Another car that CR7 really likes is the Bugatti Chiron. It costs 3 million USD, ranking 3rd. Surprisingly, Son Heung-min’s Ferrari LaFerrari supercar shares this position with the Bugatti Chiron. This is a limited edition of Ferrari, which can reach a maximum speed of 365 km/h.
