Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. The two most famous names of the last decade in football fields. Players who not only competed for impressive goals, team and personal trophies, but also hunted down lucrative endorsements from wealthy companies and luxurious cars. Let's compare both C. Ronaldo and L. Messi car collections, looking at some publicly known superstars' purchases.
Ronaldo: "Ferrari F12" Both footballers are fans of this brand, but their tastes differ - the Portuguese chooses contemporary Italian masters, while the Argentine looks at the "Ferrari" models with historical value. The F12 is powered by a 770 hp 6.3-liter engine. Not everyone can buy this "Ferrari" - the company itself decides who to accept into the exclusive group of buyers.
Messi: "Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti" The 1950s car was purchased at an auction for 25 million US dollars, and the then Barcelona striker outperformed even C. Ronaldo in competitive battle.
Ronaldo: "Ferrari 599 GTO" This is a 6-liter, 12-cylinder, 661 hp supercar.
Messi: "Ferrari F430 Spider" This model was first introduced at the "Paris Motor Show" in 2004. It was during that period that L. Messi's career began to rise, and the "F430 Spider" became one of the first expensive purchases.
Ronaldo: "Bugatti Chiron" Breathtaking car worth 3 million US dollars, which stands out not only for its stunning appearance, but also for its achievable speed of 418 km/h.
Messi: "Maserati Granturismo MC Stradale" This car (125 thousand US dollars) cannot be compared to "Bugatti" in terms of price, but it can boast a top speed of 302 km/h, which is achieved by a 460 hp 4.7-liter V8 engine.
Ronaldo: "Bugatti Veyron" It is estimated that Ronaldo only needs to "work" for 5 hours and 15 minutes to earn enough money to purchase the 1.8 million euro street giant.
Messi: blue "Audi R8" It is difficult to compare "Bugatti" with "Audi", but this car is one of L. Messi's favorites and the player constantly drove it while playing for the "Barcelona" team.
Ronaldo: "Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE 63S" C. Ronaldo cannot be called a fan of "Audi" - he had acquired only one car of this brand in 2004 ("A3 Coupe"), which was later sold at an auction for a substantial sum. Portugal shifted his focus to another German manufacturer - for at least 100 thousand US dollars, he treated himself to the "AMG GLE 63S" for Christmas.
Messi: white "Audi R8" The Argentinian responds with another "Audi" branded car, which was noticed when the player arrived at the "Camp Nou" stadium in 2011.
Ronaldo: "Chevrolet Camaro SS" The striker focused not only on European supercars - he demonstrated this with his "Chevrolet" on "Instagram", when he drove his son and mother, and later went to training camp.
Messi: "Dodge Charger SRT8" With this choice, which is unbelievable for a football star earning millions, the player seemed to hint that he might move to the Miami "Inter" team in the future.
Ronaldo: "Porsche 911 Turbo S" Once unlucky in the "Golden Ball", the player decided to treat himself by purchasing the legendary "Porsche" car, which reaches 100 km/h in just 3 seconds.
Messi: "Mini Cooper S Cabriolet" The "Mini Cooper" is a decent car, but it simply cannot be compared to C. Ronaldo's "Porsche". Of course, it should be added that the Argentinian bought this vehicle at the beginning of his career.
Ronaldo: "Range Rover Sport SVR" The legends move on to the SUV category. Unlike American sports stars, both athletes, famous in the Old Continent leagues, do not look towards huge cars. "Range Rover" is a good choice for C. Ronaldo for everyday trips, and can accelerate to 100 km/h in just 4 seconds.
Messi: "Audi Q7" Lionel responds with another "Audi" branded car, which was spotted when the player arrived at the "Camp Nou" stadium in 2011.
Ronaldo: "Mercedes S65 AMG" A costly choice for the Portuguese, which cost him 244 thousand euros. The "Mercedes" purchased in 2015 has a 630 hp 6.2-liter V12 engine.
Messi: "Range Rover" After the last failure in the world football championship, the player went home, and his wife Antonella Roccuzzo was spotted at the airport waiting for the footballer in this brand of car.
Ronaldo: "Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4" A true beauty on the road, which could be appreciated even by Portuguese fans on Instagram. True, the player has already sold this car, which features a V12 690 hp engine.
Messi: "Toyota Prius" Possibly the most curious car in Lionel's collection history. The footballer did not even need to buy a "Toyota", but it is doubtful whether the athlete kept his "Prius", purchased at the beginning of his career, in his garage for long.
