Inside Lionel Messi’s incredible car collection
Lionel Andres Messi, also known as Messi, is often thought to be the best player in the world. Lionel Messi is also a car aficionado.
Even though his biggest rival Cristiano Ronaldo might not be able to beat his 8 Ballon d’Or records, their car collections are the same.
Messi has played for Barcelona for more than 20 years and has won a record 35 trophies with the team. He currently holds the record for most goals scored in La Liga.
This unstoppable force has also built up a garage full of beautiful car collections.
11. 2017 Audi Q7 SUV
According to cbssports.com, the Audi Q7 was given to most Barcelona players in 2016, including Lionel Messi. The 2017 Q7, on the other hand, had two engine options and started at $49,000. The price went up to $65,000, and there were only three trim levels. Also, the Q7 is still around with the same trim structure in 2023. But it now starts at $58,200 and has a turbo engine with a mild hybrid system.
The standard engine in the Q7 SUV is a 2.0L Turbo Inline-4 that makes 252 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. At the same time, the Q7 was also available with a 3.0L Supercharged V6 engine that made 333 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. Both engines were also connected to an automatic transmission with 8 speeds.
10. 2015 Audi A7 Sportback
Messi owns another Audi, but this time it’s a 2015 Audi A7 Sportsback, like many other Ballon d’Or winners. A sedan with a Turismo body style is one of Audi’s best and one of the best sedans in general. This trim’s high-end model is very stylish and comes with a number of great features. Bi-Xenon lights that are joined together show a clear sign of the headlamps. The inside is made of a special kind of leather called “Valcona,” and it has a lot of padding, so it feels like one of Audi’s most luxurious cars.
The 3.0-liter V6 engine in the 2015 Audi A7 Sportsback Premium Plus trim makes about 310 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds and can go as fast as 155 mph.
9. 2015 Cadillac Escalade
Messi is the highest-paid athlete in the world, and the Argentinian soccer player knows that the 2015 Cadillac Escalade is his favorite car. When he won an El-Classico match, he was seen celebrating with his girlfriend in a car with one of the most luxurious interiors. In addition to having a lot of space for cargo, it also uses high-quality leather, which looks good and fits with its style.
The 6.2-liter V8 EcoTech 3 engine in the 2015 Cadillac Escalade makes 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. It turns out to be very slow, taking 6 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph and having a top speed of 130 mph. Many of its rivals, such as the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, the Lincoln Navigator, and even the Infiniti QX80, are worth keeping an eye on.
8. 2018 Audi RS6 Avant Quattro
Lionel Messi owns a total of three Audis. The Audi RS6 Quattro is the most expensive of the three. When Messi was in charge in Barcelona, he and his team went to an Audi event. Leo chose a 2018 Audi Avant RS6 Quattro because an Argentine soccer player gave him a dark blue model as a gift. This deep blue wagon looks very tough and the inside looks very high-end. The trunk has enough space for us to have a good trip as a family.
The 4.0-liter TFSI Quattro engine in the 2018 RS6 Quattro trim makes 543 hp and 518 lb-ft of torque. Third parties say that this can go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds and reach a top speed of 190 mph.
7. Audi R8 V10
Audi and his old team, FC Barcelona, worked together for more than ten years. So, Messi couldn’t have had the R8 in his garage at this time. On the Internet, there are videos of Lionel Messi driving both a blue and a white R8 V10 on different occasions. CarHP does not confirm the exact model year, though. So, the table below shows the specs of the latest R8 model from 2023.
The prices for the 2023 Audi R8 Coupe and Convertible are $158,600 and $171,000. Both body styles have a 5.2L V10 engine, which is getting harder to find every day. The V10 can make 562 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque with the base Performance trim. The GT trims, on the other hand, let the V10 engine loose, which makes 602 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque.
6. 2014 Range Rover Vogue
Range Rover Vogue is an SUV with a clean look and the ultimate Range Rover personality. The 2014 Vogue model was a few pounds lighter than the first one. It has a sporty look and lives up to its name. Some big changes have been made to the sports version of Range Rover, like cutting the weight by about 500 pounds. It’s a simple Range Rover that looks a lot like the Evoque.
This sports version is pretty good at off-roading. It has ABS and brake control to make the ride comfortable. The 2014 Range Rover Vogue came with a 6.0-liter V8 engine that can make up to 510 horsepower and 461 lb-ft of torque. It’s said that it can go from 0 to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 130 mph.
5. 2007 Ferrari F430 Spyder
The most expensive car Lionel Messi has ever had was more expensive than this Ferrari convertible. As always, the high-end aluminum and carbon fiber accents inside look sleek and expensive. Traction control and stability control are two of the most important safety features. The performance is great, and it fits the driver perfectly through sharp turns and cuts.
The 4.3-liter V8 engine in the Ferrari F430 Spyder gives it 503 hp and 347 lb-ft of torque. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in 4 seconds, and its top speed is 200 mph.
4. 2012 Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale
The goal of the Argentine footballer is to always shoot accurately and score at the top of his career. He is also careful about what cars he buys. His Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale looks like an Audi R-series because it is white. After he left the Barcelona club and moved away from Camp Nou, he was seen spending time in these fancy cars.
By a long shot, the MC Stradale is the fastest Maserati ever made.
Maserati Gran Turismo MC Stradale has a powerful 4.7-liter V8 engine that can make up to 444 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque. It can also go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and go as fast as 187 mph.
3. Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
Messi is the richest football player, and he also owns another Mercedes AMG flagship that was built from scratch. This is better for going fast on the roads to get where you want to go, like Messi dribbling quickly toward the goal. Aside from how well it runs, the inside of the car has some attractive premium leather seats and a matte finish. The trunk space is pretty small, but the quality of the build is very good.
The Mercedes AMG has a 6.2-liter DOHC V8 engine with 563 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds, and its top speed is a huge 201 mph.
2. 2010 Pagani Zonda Tricolore
Messi’s love for cars is not limited to just an Audi or a Range Rover but he knows which would suit his fitting as per needs. The hypercar Pagani Zonda Tricolore is his favorite of all may be due to its top-tier performance & sleek design. It presumably matches the likes of a Lamborghini Aventador, but its special carbon fiber and a titanium tub separate from it.
The Pagani Zonda Tricolore is delivered with a 7.3-liter V12 engine which boosts enormously of about 659 hp with 576 lb-ft of torque. It can do 0-60 within 3.4 seconds along with a top speed of 220 mph.
1. 1957 Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti
Who says that the public seems to find it less important as time goes on? Well, we all know that this theory doesn’t work for Lionel Messi or the 1957 Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti, which is a race car with a unique design. In 2016, it was put up for auction at Artcurial Motorcars, where he is said to have bid more than Cristiano Ronaldo.
This ends up being the most expensive car that has ever been sold. A 4.0-liter V12 engine was put into the 1957 Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti. It has a lot of power for its time, as it has a huge 400 mechanical horsepower. (hp) The fastest speed the Ferrari can reach is 190 mph.
