Top 32 Football players amazing supercars you can take on a drive
33 Sweetest Cars Owned by Footballers
Footballers are not known for their subtlety when it comes to style choices and if they could drive around on a pair of trainers on wheels I am sure they would be as happy as a pig in shi-t.As evidence I would present the example of the Gold-Plated Cadillac Escolade of El Hadji Diouf, the hideous Bentley convertible belonging to Stephen Ireland and the all chrome Aston Martin of Jermaine Pennant but perhaps they are best left for another article.
What we are looking at today are cars that are clearly not low-key but the owners have at least left matters of style and taste to designers rather than footballers.
When you're paid millions of dollars every week to kick a ball around, there's bound to be some incredible purchases scattered throughout your bank balance.
For footballers, one of the biggest and greatest purchases they make is their cars, splashing out ridiculous amounts of money for some very sweet-looking rides.
And we're talking very sweet-looking cars here.
Cars that most likely ate my 2003 Toyota Camry for breakfast.
Here's the top 33 cars owned by footballers at the moment.
33. Son Heung-min – (Ferrari LaFerrari) – $3.00m
Son Heung-min – (Ferrari LaFerrari) – $3.00m
32.Obafemi Martins – Lamborghini N50M (£250.000)
Obafemi Martins – Lamborghini N50M (£250.000)
Former Inter Milan and Newcastle striker, is one of the richest Nigerian footballers.
The Nigerian footballer who plays as a forward for Seattle Sounders FC and the Nigeria national team is known for his speed on the ball.
At age 16 Martins left Nigeria to move to Italy and has since played for a number of top-division clubs around Europe.
His senior career began in 2002 at the Italian Series A club Inter Milan, and then moved to the English Premier League club Newcastle in 2006.
His highest scoring league seasons so far have seen him score 11 goals in the 2004–05 Serie A, and 17 2006–07 English Premier League. In international football, Martins has been in the Nigerian squad for the Africa Cup of Nations in 2006, 2008 and 2010, and for the FIFA World Cup in 2010.
On 21 September 2020, Martins joined Chinese Super League club Wuhan Zall on a one-year deal after his Shanghai Shenhua contract was terminated.
Obafemi Martins is one of the footballers that drive an expensive car. He is the happy owner of a Lamborghini N50M.
He bought a very nice Lamborghini N50M value £ 250,000.
31.Karim Benzema – Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang
Karim Benzema – Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang
One of his most expensive purchases is a Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang.
The car boasts an aluminum body and can reach a top speed of 400+ kmph and costs $1.90m.
Real Madrid and France striker Karim Benzema showed up for training at Valdebebas in a Bugatti Veyron, according to Spanish newspaper AS.
At a price of €2 million, this is definitely a Galacticos' car.
30. Arda Turan – Mercedes-Benz SLS (£145.000)
Arda Turan – Mercedes-Benz SLS (£145.000)
Arda Turan is a Turkish footballer who plays for Atletico Madrid as a left winger.
The Atletico Madrid superstar, Arda Turan is on the 9th spot of our list who spent £ 145,000 on his car, Mercedes Benz SLS AMG.
Arda Turan had a great time on the pitch with Atletico Madrid last season so how can he stay far away from off the pitch? The Mercedes SLS is a terrific car which one would always wish to buy considering its beauty and essence.
In the garage he has a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG worth 145,000 which is enough to be part of this list. His £ 145,000 definitely went in a right direction.
29. Zlatan Ibrahimovic – Ferrari Monza SP2
Zlatan Ibrahimovic – Ferrari Monza SP2
Zlatan Ibrhimovic gifted himself a Ferrari Monza SP2 on his 34th birthday, which set him back by a sum of $1.70m. The Swede is still going strong at the age of 39, playing for AC Milan in the Serie A.
Only 499 Monza SP2’s were produced in total, and Ferrari limited the sale to only the most loyal customers, of which Ibrahimovic can count himself. Prior to his latest purchase, his collection already included a Ferrari Spider and a Ferrari Enzo, and the Monza SP2 now sits nicely amongst this collection. It boasts a V12 engine with 810 hp (603 kW) at 8,500 rpm and it is the most powerful of the Scuderiacan, allowing it to go from 0-60mph in around 2.9 seconds, with a top speed of 186 miles-per-hour. Not a bad birthday present to treat yourself to.
28.Lionel Messi – Maserati Gran Turismo MC Stradale
Lionel Messi – Maserati Gran Turismo MC Stradale
Lionel Messi owns one of these limited production super sports cars that are based around the standard 2007 launched coupe but with some rather immense numbers added.Improved aerodynamics, less weight and more power make this machine very fast with a top speed listed as 188mph which for a sporty coupe is quite impressive.
This is however at heart a coupe that pretends to be a proper sports car and as such is a comfortable drive first and a super sports car second.
You can pick up an MC Stradale for as little as £109,995.
Lionel Messi – (Pagani Zonda Tricolore) – $1.70m
Lionel Messi – (Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti) – $35.00m
27.Neymar – Porsche Panamera Turbo S
Neymar – Porsche Panamera Turbo S
The Porsche Panamera is a practical four-door sedan luxury car with a large engine added and its name is derived like the Carrera line from the Carrera Panamericana race. In the case of the Turbo S the large engine is a 4.8-litre V8 twin turbo which is something of an improvement to the lesser 3.6 litre V6 of the standard models.The 550 bhp of Neymar’s model has a listed max speed of 190mph and 3.8 sec 0-62mph, the top speed is rather academic unless you take the car on a Track Day. The Porsche Panamera Turbo S is a two-seater so loses the practicality and stretched appearance of the standard four-door. The Turbo S is the most powerful mass production Porsche on sale.
A Porsche Panamera Turbo S will set you back a trifling £122,623.
26.&Cristiano Ronaldo – Lamborghini Aventador
Cristiano Ronaldo – Lamborghini Aventador
A Lamborghini Aventador is a classic and glorious mid-engined supercar with killer styling and stats to match. The car is one of the last V12 supercars in production and the roadster and coupe versions deliver an eye-watering 690bhp and 217mph with a 2.9s 0-60mph.The Aventador looks like it could belong to a superhero with its theatrical and aggressive geometry, perhaps it could also transform into a killer robot at the touch of a button. Having those dreams or nightmares is going to set you back a fair bit I’m afraid.The base price for the Aventador Roadster is in the region of £300,000.
25. Wayne Rooney – Range Rover Overfinch
Wayne Rooney – Range Rover Overfinch
Nothing wrong with a Range Rover, it’s no supercar of course in the sense of having scintillating acceleration or an outrageous top speed but then Rooney is of course a class-apart in the upper
echelons of football aristocracy…Yes that’s a big load of tosh and the Range Rover has become an annoying and unwelcome fat tank that spreads itself unflatteringly over Britain’s streets, school-runs and car parks these days. There is no need for it except on farms pulling trailers full of pig swill. The Overfinch brand means you have paid £60k extra for nice cushions, a gun cabinet with matching tumblers and because you obviously wouldn’t be seen dead in the same Range Rover as seemingly half the population at the moment.
Expect to use your chrome-plated fork and dig out £145,000 for one.
24. Gareth Bale & Stephen Ireland – Audi R8
Gareth Bale – Audi R8
The Audi R8 is another popular sports car as it marries the performance and handling of a supercar with the refined comforts and instruments of a saloon car and is considered comparable to a Porsche 911.
The car went into production in 2007 and is available like most cars of this level as a coupe and roadster.
The three R8 versions range in price from around £90,000 to £130,000.
23. Alvaro Arbeloa - Morgan 3 Wheeler
Alvaro Arbeloa - Morgan 3 Wheeler
The cheapest, most eccentric and arguably most madly-fun car on our list was driven into training at Real Madrid by Arbeloa.The Morgan, is English through-and-through and let’s face it no other
country would consider developing and producing such a car which resembles a WW1 fighter cockpit on wheels.
The fun contraption and looks like it belongs in the past and is powered by a 2.0Litre S&S two cylinder motorbike engine which is exposed on the front of the car with chrome exhausts running each side of the vehicle.
The high-revving engine delivers just 80hp and claims a top speed of 115mph although by all accounts you would be mad to attempt it.
The car is hugely impractical, a charming toy designed more than anything to make you and everyone around you smile and long may it continue.
A Morgan 3 Wheeler will set you back about £30,000.
22.Frank Lampard – Aston Martin DB9.
Frank Lampard – Aston Martin DB9.
The Aston Martin DB9 has been around since 2004 and is the successor of the DB7 and carries under
its bonnet a 6.0L V12 Ford Duratec power plant.
The Aston Martin is widely considered one of the most beautiful cars ever produced which goes some way to explain the cars longevity.
Despite being a gand tourer the DB9 is no slouch and that V12 generates some 476 bhp and can deliver a 0-60 in 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 183 mph.
The car is one of the cheaper luxury cars to own and could be yours for a paltry £132,000.
Frank Lampard – Ferrari 612 Scaglietti Price = £197,000 ($292,178)
There is no much to say about Frank Lampard that you already know. Shortly he is an English professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder, attacking midfielder or defensive midfielder for Manchester City.
But he is the all-time leading goalscorer for Chelsea where he played for 13 years. Lampard is considered by many supporters, journalists and football experts as one of the best midfielders of his generation.
He began his career at West Ham United, from whom his father Frank Lampard Sr. had also played.
By the 1997-1998 season he secured a place in the first team and the following year he helped the team finish 5th in the Premier League. The team highest-ever Premier League placing is due to his performance.
In 2001, he moved to rival London club Chelsea for £11 million. Lampard then joined New York City FC on a two-year deal, in preparation for the club’s Major League Soccer debut in 2015, as a free transfer, being loaned out to Manchester City in the meantime.
From his début, he was ever-present in the Chelsea first team and made 164 consecutive Premier League appearances, a record for an outfield player.
Today, everyone knows who Frank Lampard is, the reason that allowed him to buy a Ferrari 612 for $292,178.
21. Di Maria - Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
Di Maria - Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
The Corvette Stingray is a car with a lot of history, glitz and glamour being one of America’s most endearing sports cars with many generations from initial production in 1953.
The Sting Ray model coupe didn’t arrive until 1963 and its recognisable shape has evolved into the car now owned by Manchester United new signing Angel Di Maria.
The C7 has a 6.2 L V8 which generates 460 bhp a 0-60 time of 3.8 seconds and a listed top speed of 195mph.
The Stingray is one of the cheapest sports cars available at a barely noticeable £33,500, another good move for Di Maria.
20. Djibril Cisse: Plymouth Prowler
Djibril Cisse: Plymouth Prowler
Kicking off our list is a car owned by Queens Park Rangers player Djibril Cisse—the Plymouth Prowler.
Personally, I'm not much of a fan of the mustache-front design of the Prowler, but that doesn't mean that it isn't a nice ride or that someone out there doesn't like it.
After all, Cisse did choose to buy this car.
Price: £30,000 (estimate)
19. Thierry Henry: Lincoln Navigator
Thierry Henry: Lincoln Navigator
Arsenal legend and MLS star Thierry Henry certainly makes a statement with the Lincoln Navigator.
It might not be the speed or sleekness that exists in some of the other supercars on this list, but there is sheer power from Henry's vehicle, and it looks pretty nice as well.
At the end of the day, his car could crush basically anything on this list, all without sacrificing style or class in its design. A very nice, smart car.
Price: £50,000 (estimate)
18. Jermain Defoe: BMW X5
18. Jermain Defoe: BMW X5
Tottenham Hotspur striker Jermain Defoe stands at just 5'5", thus making the seven-seater BMW X5 a strange purchase for the England international.Having said that, the X5 is still one of the better large cars on the market at the moment (luxury wise) and still looks very nice in full flight, as seen above.
Even if Defoe needs to sit on a pillow to drive it.
Price: £70,000 (estimate)
17. Steven Gerrard: Jaguar XKR Convertible
Steven Gerrard: Jaguar XKR Convertible
Liverpool and England legend Steven Gerrard recently sold his £120,000 Range Rover (per The Sun), meaning that we must then look to his Jaguar XKR convertible as his next best car.Not that the Jag here is a bad alternative, being able to reach 62 mph in under five seconds, and it looks pretty darn stylish in the meantime.
Price: £90,000 (estimate)
16. Michael Owen: Aston Martin DB7 Vantage
Michael Owen: Aston Martin DB7 Vantage
To top off his collection, an Aston Martin DB7 Vanquish sits outside the Newcastle striker’s home.
Nothing says class quite like an Aston Martin.
However, nothing says bench quite like Michael Owen.
It's like a match made in heaven.
Price: £100,000 (estimate)
15. Theo Walcott: Audi R8
Theo Walcott: Audi R8
Theo Walcott is looking for a new contract at Arsenal this January transfer window.What he isn't looking for at the moment, however, is a brand new car, with his black Audi R8 cutting a mean and slick figure every time it hits the road.
Touted as Audi's potential answer to the Porsche 911, there's little doubting just how nice this car is.
Price: £120,000 (estimate)
14. Carlos Tevez: Porsche Panamera
Carlos Tevez: Porsche Panamera
We know Carlos Tevez has a Porsche Panamera because we saw it being towed away (via The Sun). Now we know that Tevez is facing a ban from driving his beloved Porsche.Putting it out there, if he needs anyone to take it out for a spin and check that everything's OK in the next few months, I'm happy to put up my hand and selflessly volunteer myself for this incredibly difficult and time-consuming job.
Selfless, I know.
Price: £125,000 (estimate)
13. John Terry: Ferrari F430 Spider
John Terry: Ferrari F430 Spider
We had to get a Ferrari in on this list, and John Terry obliges with his F430 Spider.You might be wondering why we don't see the Chelsea defender driving it much; it's most likely because he's also driving his Range Rover Sport, BMW X5, Porsche 911 Turbo or Bentley Continental around.
It's a tough life sometimes.
Price: £130,000 (estimate)
John Terry – (Ferrari 275 GTB) – $2.20m
12. Ashley Cole: Mercedes-Benz SL63
Ashley Cole: Mercedes-Benz SL63
The SL63 is a very classy machine, and one owned by Chelsea defender Ashley Cole.Whether he stays in London or leaves to France at some point in the future doesn't matter—this car will certainly make a statement no matter where Cole is.
Love rat and Cheryl Cole’s ex husband, Ashley Cole is an England International and defender for Chelsea FC. His resume is so impressive, with many F.A. Cup wins, a Champions League win, and a list of individual honors as long as my arm, Cole has certainly earned enough cash to fill his garage with some pretty impressive rides.
Somewhat understated compared to the other rides soccer players drive, this ‘murdered-out’ SL 63 certainly makes an imposing impression. I’m not quite sure what Cole is looking for – maybe he hasn’t figured out the gearbox yet?
When it comes to luxury brands like Mercedes, I think it’s best to stay classy and not force the issue with OTT mods. Cole has maintained a cool look with the flat black and matched the rims and that’s just about right.
Price: £150,000 (estimate)
11. Rio Ferdinand: Bentley Arnage
Rio Ferdinand: Bentley Arnage
Some people might not like the Bentley Arnage—saying that it's old and isn't really a "modern" car at all. Some people might love it, saying that is resonates class and beauty, power and pose all at the same time.
That's all probably fair enough, because Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has an Arnage, and those opinions are exactly what people think of him as well.
Price: £160,000 (estimate)
10. Mario Balotelli: Bentley Continental GT & Ferrari F12 Berlinetta
Mario Balotelli: Bentley Continental GT
Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli has a Bentley Contentintal GT.If you're wondering why that picture doesn't look like one, that's because Super Mario decided to completely camouflage it earlier in the year so that it would look like that.
Why you would do that to a car that looks like this is beyond me.
But hey, that's Mario.
Mario Balotelli Gave Away His $160,000 Camouflage Bentley To A Teammate
One of the best ones: Balotelli just gave away his infamous camouflage luxury car to a teammate.
The $250,000 Bentley Continental GT was a big part of the Balotelli mystique when he lived in England and played for Manchester City.
It was once peed on by a Manchester United fan as well.
Balotelli told Kickbola that he gave the car to teammate Urby Emanuel, who subsequently look off the camouflage wrap and returned the car to its original white color.
Balotelli, Wahl said, seemed disappointed that he changed the color.
Price: £160,000 (estimate)
Mario Balotelli – Ferrari F12 Berlinetta
Nicknamed Super Mario, Balotelli started his career playing twice for the same team before having an unsuccessful trial at FC Barcelona.
After he moved for a brief time to Inter Milan and then has moved to Manchester City.
His departure from City and return to Italy with A.C. Milan followed several weeks later. After 18 months at Milan, he returned to the Premier League with Liverpool.
Balotelli earned his first cap for Italy in a friendly match against Côte d’Ivoire on 10 August 2010. He has since amassed over 30 caps and represented his country at UEFA Euro 2012 and the 2014 FIFA World Cup, helping them reach the final of the former.
Mario Balotelli loves his cars and has recently taken ownership of a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta to add to his fleet of supercars.
He drives a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta which cost him around $355,953.
9. Jermaine Pennant: Aston Martin DBS CHrome
Jermaine Pennant: Aston Martin DBS
Once upon a time he was named as the new Beckham and that’s not for the his looks.Jermaine Pennant has played for eight different teams throughout his career.
his Aston Martin with a value in £ 170,000 is quite unique because of the color, which is chrome.
That there is Jermaine Pennant's Aston Martin DBS.
The Stoke City player fitted out the sleek-looking car with a chrome finish—giving it a very stylish and noticeable look that simply mirrors everything it ever sees.
If only Pennant was at the standard that his car is.
Price: £180,000 (estimate)
8. Claude Makalele: Ferrari 360
Claude Makalele: Ferrari 360
Technically not a player, Claude Makalele still makes this list as a footballer because the former Chelsea player is now the assistant coach to Carlos Ancelotti at Paris St. Germain.Oh, and because he drives a Ferrari, which few can dispute as being a sweet-looking car.
Price: £190,000 (estimate)
7. Wayne Rooney: Lamborghini Gallardo & Aston Martin Vanquish
Wayne Rooney: Lamborghini Gallardo
England international, Manchester United legend, well on his way to winning another Premier League title—life isn't all bad at the moment for Wayne Rooney.Especially when he has this sweet Lamborghini sitting amongst his collection, albeit not in bright yellow.
Price: £260,000 (estimate)
Wayne Rooney: Aston Martin Vanquish (£ 150,000)
6. David Beckham: Bentley Continental Supersports
David Beckham: Bentley Continental Supersports
David Beckham has a huge array of wonderful cars at his disposal, but the one that sticks out the most is the Bentley Continental Supersports.Just think, all he had to do to get there was become one of the greatest players in the modern game—a Manchester United and Real Madrid legend who completely revolutionized football in the United States.
Well played, sir. Well played.
Price: £260,000 (estimate)
David Beckham – Rolls Royce Phantom (£350,000)
5. Nani: Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2
Nani: Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2
Another footballer who owns an expensive ride is Nani.
LuÃs Carlos Almeida da Cunha also known as Nani is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a winger for Sporting CP, on loan from English club Manchester United, and the Portugal national team.
The car he is driving is a sport car made by Lamborghini from 2003 to 2013. It is Lamborghini’s best-selling model with 14,022 being built throughout its lifetime.
With a V10 engine and power that will blow your mind away, Nani’s car is priced at £137,000, making it the 9th most expensive footballers’ cars.
Manchester United midfielder Nani has a car very similar to that of his United teammate, Wayne Rooney, only that Nani's is the LP 550-2 version, of which only 250 were ever made.
That makes Nani just a little bit special—as does the fact it does 0-60 in under four seconds. Now if only the winger himself were that quick.
Price: £300,000 (estimate)
4. Didier Drogba: Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster
Didier Drogba: Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster
Former Chelsea player and current Shanghai Shenhua striker Didier Drogba will no doubt go down as one of the legends of the game when he eventually retires. He's a true statesman for world football who modeled the game beautifully and achieved so much within it. It is no surprise, therefore, that Drogba has himself a classy Mercedes SL65—a true statesman car if ever there was one.
This 25-unit limited edition car went into production a year after the SLR itself was discontinued in 2010 and is a grand tourer class sports car developed jointly by Mercedes-Benz and McLaren Automotive at the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, Surrey. The Roadster features a supercharged V8 AMG power plant that generates 617 bhp and enables a top speed of 208 mph and 0-100 acceleration in 3.1 seconds.
The standard Roadster version of the SLR is no longer available but would have cost £350,000 but Drogba’s limited edition car would be significantly more.
Price: £330,000 (estimate)
3. El Hadji Diouf – Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren (£420,000)
El Hadji Diouf – Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren (£420,000)
El Hadj Djouf is currently playing for Leeds United in the Championship after stints at Sunderland, Bolton Wanderers, Blackburn Rovers and Liverpool throughout his career.But with a car like the Mercedes McLaren SLR, does it really matter where he's playing?
Former Liverpool player and Leeds United player, has been on the list of “the most ugliest cars of footballers”, but this does not prevent him to ranked second on the list. He holds a very expensive car (McLaren SLR) with a stratospheric value of £ 420,000 .
Price: £420,000 (estimate)
2. Samuel Eto'o: Maybach Cruisero Coupe & Aston Martin One-77
Samuel Eto'o: Maybach Cruisero Coupe
Known for their spaciousness and class, the Mayback Cruisero Coupe is one seriously nice-looking car, and one is owned by former Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o.Few of the models were ever made before the company went broke, with the Anzhi Makhachkala striker one of the fortunate few who got their hands on one.
The 5.7-meter car can do 0-60 in five seconds and has a top speed of 170 mph—all incredible numbers for a car so large and dominant.
Price: £600,000 (estimate)
Samuel Eto’o – (Aston Martin One-77) – $1.80m
1. Cristiano Ronaldo: Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport & Ferrari 2014 Model (£2million)
Cristiano Ronaldo: Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport
It seems only fitting that we end this list with one of the greatest footballers in the world as well as one of the greatest cars in the world—Cristiano Ronaldo and a Bugatti Veyron.
The fastest car in the world meets with one of the greatest dribblers of our time.
Class, poise, elegance, power and brilliance—all of which can be said about both the car and player in question here.
The world just works sometimes.
Price: £1,100,000 (estimate)
Cristiano Ronaldo – (Bugatti Chiron) – $3.00m
Cristiano Ronaldo – (Bugatti La Voiture Noire) – $18.60m
Cristiano Ronaldo – Ferrari 2014 Model (£2million).
Any sweet-looking footballers cars that missed the list?
