Football is one of Cristiano Ronaldo’s greatest passions, if not the greatest passion, but he is also an avid collector of exclusive cars. The attacker of Juventus and the Portugal national team is said to have more than twenty luxury vehicles, parked in Portugal, Spain and Italy. After half a year, Ronaldo finally shows his latest purchase, although it was a gift for his birthday.
Ronaldo celebrated his 36th birthday on February 5 this year with friends and Georgina Rodriguez. His Spanish girlfriend had a big surprise just before the group entered a restaurant: a Mercedes Clase G Brabus Widestar 800, with a catalog value in Italy of at least 380,000 euros excluding taxes. BRABUS is well known for tuning the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and built only ten examples, including one now owned by Ronaldo.
Until this week, Ronaldo had not appeared in public with Georgina’s gift, but this week he posted a photo on social media that has now garnered nearly 14.5 million likes. The Mercedes Clase G Brabus Widestar 800 has a tuned powertrain with a power of 800 hp and a torque of no less than 1000 Nm. Thanks to the extra power, the car can reach 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds and the top speed is 240 km/h
The new wheel arches increase the width of the G-Class by ten centimeters. The 23-inch rims complete the wide look. Furthermore, the hood with air scoops, the extra lights on the roof, various grilles and the stainless steel double exhausts, just like the quilted leather in the interior and especially the speedometer for the rear passengers.
In May of this year, Ronaldo was linked with a departure from Juventus after some of his cars were loaded into a large truck in Turin. The cars were transported by RodoCargo, a Portuguese transport company. Nevertheless, the Portuguese has entered his fourth season with Juventus and appears to have only moved his Ferrari Monza SP2 (€1.6m) and Bugatti Centodieci (€9.4m) among others.
