10 Cars Cristiano Ronaldo is most proud of

While most of the expensive cars in Ronaldo’s garage are there just for variety, here are 10 that he really couldn’t do without.

Cristiano Ronaldo, fondly called “CR7” by fans. Widely considered the greatest footballer of all time, CR7 has smashed and set new football records, with a total of 32 trophies in his career. But don’t just think of Ronaldo as a great footballer. CR7 has become a global brand that makes fashion wears like shirts, underwear, and shoes.

With his charm on and off the pitch, Ronaldo has attracted a solid online following, now boasting more than 500 million followers across all social media platforms. Ronaldo has been able to amass a net worth of over half a billion dollars, and one way he spends his money is by purchasing rare and expensive sports cars. But while some of the extremely pricey cars in his garage are just there for show, others are of huge sentimental value to the Portuguese athlete, and some he’ll never even consider selling. Here are the 10 cars Cristiano Ronaldo is most proud of owning.

10. Ferrari F12 TDF

With the F12 TDF, Ferrari brings back memories of the iconic Tour de France endurance road race of the 60s. The Tour de France was a platform for race car makers to showcase what they are capable of doing in terms of performance and driving experience.

CR7 is a big fan of go-fast machines, so you can see why he instantly fell in love with the Ferrari F12 TDF. As with most of Ronaldo’s cars, the F12 TDF is rare, with the Italian carmaker building only 799 examples. The F12 TDF cost around $434,998, and it’s not even near the most expensive car in his garage. Ronaldo’s F12 TDF hits 62 mph in less than 3.0 seconds.

9. Bugatti Centodieci

Apart from Ferraris, Cristiano Ronaldo also has a thing for Bugattis. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner spent a whopping $10 million on the Bugatti Centodieci, which is one of only 10 built. The Centodieci was designed in honor of the Bugatti EB110, which was one of the fastest supercars introduced in the 90s.

Unlike the EB110 that came with a quad-turbo V12 engine, Cristiano’s Centodieci, which was unveiled in 2019, was equipped with an 8.0-liter W16 engine that blasts out 1600 horsepower and pushes the supercar to 62 mph in 2.4 seconds.

8. Bugatti Chiron

Up until the introduction of the 2017 Bugatti Chiron, the Veyron’s raw speed and sheer power set the standard for hypercars. Cristiano Ronaldo actually tested and approved the Bugatti Chiron before he spent roughly $2.6 million to get one of the 500 units made.

The Chiron’s power comes from an 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 engine that pumps out 1,500 hp and tops out at nearly 300 mph. In 2021, the Portuguese football star was spotted taking his Chiron for a spin on the streets of Lisbon.

7. Lamborghini Aventador

To mark his 27th birthday, Cristiano Ronaldo gifted himself a 2012 Lamborghini Aventador, which comes with a 6.5-liter V12 engine that dispenses 700 horsepower and 509 lb-ft. Unrivaled in the super sports car market, this one of 600 Aventadors made by Lamborghini in 2012, and it cost CR7 roughly $387,000.

The Aventador’s engine gets from 0 to 60 mph in under 3.0 seconds and tops out at 217 mph. This supercar is skillfully crafted to weigh only 3,472 lb and has a power-to-weight ratio of 2.25 Kg/hp.

6. Mercedes G-Wagon Brabus

Cristiano Ronaldo got a Mercedes G-Wagon Brabus as a gift to mark his 35th birthday in 2020. The $850,000 SUV was gifted to the highest goalscorer in football history by his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez. This Mercedes G-Wagon Brabus was unveiled at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 2019, and it comes with a 6.3-liter twin-turbocharged V12 that makes up to 900 hp and 1,106 lb-ft of peak torque.

With the amount of power from the V12, the Mercedes G-Wagon Brabus can sprint to 62 mph in under 3.8 seconds. Although buyers have the option of choosing a V8 or V12 engine, Ronaldo got the latter, which is one of only 10 made by Mercedes in 2019.

5. Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead

Cristiano Ronaldo is currently the third highest-paid footballer on the planet, but even before he started making such huge money, he already had a taste for luxury. Back in 2008, the Manchester United forward splashed over $500,000 on a Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead. The super-expensive convertible luxury car doesn’t share the typical Rolls-Royce design that takes you back in memory lane to the 1930s.

The Phantom Drophead’s special grille and the smooth lines of the car give you a sense of high momentum even when the car is at rest. To set up a more intimate setting with your partner, raise the roof of the Drophead, but if you want to get a good feel of what a quality performance machine feels like, lower the roof.

4. Maserati GranCabrio

Maserati once again showed what it’s capable of when it comes to performance and handling with the grand-touring convertible called GranCabrio. The four-seat convertible was unveiled at the Frank Motor Show in 2009, and shortly after Ronaldo grabbed one for himself.

The GranCabrio comes with a 4.7-liter V8 engine that is mated with a 6-speed automatic transmission and puts out 450 hp. Maserati optimized the Skyhook active suspension and recalibrated the MC Auto Shift programming for faster feedback.

3. Ferrari 599 GTO

In his early days at Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo was making around $320,000 per week, so getting a Ferrari 599 GTO barely weeks after crashing his 599 GTB was not exactly something he would lose sleep over. Perhaps it’s his love for speed within and outside the pitch that made him get a replacement for the 599 GTB so quickly.

The Ferrari 599 GTO is made of as much carbon fiber material as Formula One cars, and with a black paint job, the speed machine can be said to look like a Batmobile. Ronaldo’s 599 GTO makes up to 670 horsepower and darts to 62 mph in 3.4 seconds.

2. Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse

Cristiano Ronaldo’s first-ever Bugatti is the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, which he bought in 2016. Ronaldo buys supercars to celebrate special occasions like birthdays, transfer to a new club, and in the case of Bugatti Veyron—to celebrate Portugal’s historic 2016 European Championship win over France.

The Bugatti Veyron was once the fastest open-top production car on the planet and only 450 units were made, so it’s another very rare sports car in Ronaldo’s garage. It comes with an 8.0-liter quad-turbo W16 and tops out at 254mph.

1. McLaren Senna

In 2019, Cristiano Ronaldo bought a limited edition McLaren Senna for over $1 million, but that’s nothing compared to making over $31 million while playing at Juventus at the time. The supercar was named in honor of Ayrton Senna, the legendary F1 driver who won World Drivers’ Championship titles in the late 80s and early 90s.

Ronaldo’s McLaren Senna is one of only 500 built, and it features a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that gushes out 789 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of maximum torque. The former Juventus striker was spotted driving his McLaren Senna in Lisbon.
