Over the years, when talking about playing cars, fans certainly always remember Ronaldo first. He owns many expensive cars, from racing to luxury cars. Messi is more silent, but actually his garage is much more expensive than Ronaldo’s.
In a recent statistic about the top 10 most expensive cars among football players, the superstar of the Argentine national team accounts for 2, even just one of his cars is equal to many of the following cars combined.
It is the Ferrari 335 s Spider Scaglietti supercar that Messi successfully bought at an auction in 2016. This car cost him 35 million USD (more than 800 billion VND). Not only in the field of football, 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 doesn’t want to lose the most expensive supercar to Messi. But when climbing to the price mark of 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 V12 Tipo 140 engine, 3.8 liter capacity, 360 horsepower. The car reached a maximum speed of more than 300 km/h, which was a world record at the time of its launch.
Messi is very excited about his “pet car”, even though he can only use the car for display and cannot drive it on the street. When he needs to move, he chooses other supercars that even football players are jealous of.
Ronaldo’s Bugatti La Voiture Noire costs $18.6 million
That is the Pagani Zonda Tricolore priced at 1.7 million USD. Only 3 units were produced worldwide. That’s also the reason why this supercar with a 6.0 V12 twin-turbo engine and 829 horsepower is so expensive.
In the top 10 most expensive cars owned by football players, Messi occupies 2 and their total value is more expensive than all of Ronaldo’s cars combined. The star of the Portuguese team proudly drives a Bugatti La Voiture Noire worth 18.60 million USD. This is the second most expensive car among football players, but it is only half of what Messi spent on the Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti.
Another car that CR7 really likes is the Bugatti Chiron. It costs 3 million USD, ranking 3rd. Quite surprisingly, sharing this position with the Bugatti Chiron is Son Heung-min’s Ferrari LaFerrari supercar. This is a limited edition of Ferrari, able to reach a maximum speed of 365 km/h.
