He is known for
his looks, mostly funky hairstyles, and is the brand ambassador for many
fashion labels. However, if there is one thing that Cristiano Ronaldo
loves other than scoring amazing goals, it is cars.
The Real Madrid star
has a long list of vehicles, which includes some fantastic sports
cars.According to sources, up till now, Ronaldo has spent around 4.9
million dollars on purchasing vehicles. And if reports are to be
believed then the footballer is set to splash another 1.3 million on
Ferrari LaFerrari, which is counted among the top sports cars on the
planet.
At present, Ronaldo is one of the
499 customers who are waiting for this prancing horse model. Reports
suggest that the Italian car manufacturer has kept a clause for selling
the LaFerrari.
It is believed that Ferrari is going to sell the
LaFerrari only to those customers who own a minimum of five models from
the brand. If this is the case then the situation might be a little
tricky for Ronaldo as he, reportedly, owns only four Ferrari cars.
Thereby, to purchase the LaFerrari, the former Manchester United star
will have to either buy another car from the brand or shell out extra
money to get the model. If Ronaldo does end owning the LaFerrari, it
will join the list of the likes of Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, Lamborghini
Aventador LP 700-4, Bugatti Veyron, Aston Martin DB9 and Phantom
Rolls-Royce. However, he will have to be careful while driving the
LaFerrari as the footballer had a bad experience when he crashed the
newly bought Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano in England.
Ferrari
is known for producing scintillating looking vehicles that are fast,
stylish and technologically advanced. Some of the most popular models
from the Italian car maker are California, 458 Italia, F12berlinetta and
FF.
The LaFerrari is a limited edition car that was showcased for the
first time at the 2013 Geneva Auto Show. Interestingly, the design of
this model has got no inputs from Pininfarina, a car design firm based
in Italy that has been associated with Ferrari for over six decades.
The
LaFerrari has a wheel base of 2655 mm along with a kerb weight of 1255
kg. Incredibly, this hybrid sports car runs on the combination of a
6.3-litre V-12 engine and two electric motors, wherein one controls the
driven wheels while the other operates the ancillaries.
The LaFerrari is
capable of generating peak output of 963 bhp, which includes 800 bhp
from the V12 engine and the remaining from the motors. This sports car
has the capability of clocking 100 kmph from scratch in a time frame
below 3 seconds. In addition, it has a company claimed top speed of
around 350 kmph.
Cristiano Ronaldo
has been in sublime form during the 2013-2014 season, scoring 11 goals
in 9 appearances. The highlight of Ronaldo's season so far has been his
hat-trick against Turkish club Galatasaray in the group stage fixture of
the UEFA Champions League.
There was a lot of speculation about
Cristiano Ronaldo moving back to his former club Manchester United
during the summer following the arrival of Welshman Gareth Bale to Real
Madrid, making the latter the most expensive player in the football
history. However, contrary to rumours, the Portuguese star penned a new
deal with the Los Blancos, which also made him the most paid footballer
on the planet.
