Do you want to know what are the “machines” of football stars around the world? We've put together some examples.
In the following list there are cars for all tastes. Typical models of “soccer stars”, SUVs and even more classic and refined ones.Andrés Iniesta – Bugatti Veyron
Considered by many as the ultimate car until the arrival of the Chiron, this model has numbers that match the price: the 1001 horsepower of the W16 8.0 engine achieves, with the help of all-wheel drive, an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds.
Antonio Valencia – Chevrolet Camaro
Do you know how much Antonio Valencia paid for his Camaro? Nothing. Zero. Why? Because Chevrolet decided to provide all Manchester United players with several models of the brand and Valencia ended up choosing this American muscle car. Underneath the package, we find a Chevy with a V8 engine capable of delivering 400hp.
Cristiano Ronaldo – Ferrari LaFerrari
Despite having only rear-wheel drive (like a good supercar that it is…), the hybrid from Maranello's house attacks the asphalt with 963hp of power and 700 Nm of maximum torque. Besides this, Cristiano Ronaldo owns many other models (very many), such as: Bentley Continental GTC, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Porsche 911 Carrera 2S Cabriolet, Maserati GranCabrio, Audi R8, Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, Audi RS6, Audi Q7, Aston Martin DB9, BMW M6, Porsche Cayenne, Ferrari F430, Bentley GT Speed, Ferrari 599 GTO, Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 and Rolls-Royce Phantom – and possibly the list doesn't end there.

Lionel Messi – Audi Q7
One of the cars in which the best player in the world (allegedly…) is most often seen is, without a doubt, in his Audi Q7. It goes without saying that this is not the only luxury car in its fleet. In his garage, the Argentine driver still has models like Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale, Audi R8, Ferrari F430 Spider, Dodge Charger SRT8, Lexus ES 350 and Toyota Prius – Prius? No one would say…
Mario Balotelli – Bentley Continental GT
The Bentley Continental GT is the favorite sport of the well-known ‘Super Mario’. It's coated in camouflaged matte film, which, it turns out, is the player's favorite pattern.

Ronaldinho – Hummer H2 Geiger
This Hummer H2 with lots of after-market details from the German Geiger preparer has been talking about. There are those who don't like the combination of colors, others don't like the 30-inch wheels and even those who think they don't have “the edge to stick”. Underneath the bonnet is a powerful six-liter V8 engine capable of producing 547hp and 763Nm – more than enough horsepower to support three tonnes of SUVs.
