Lionel Messi is adjusting to his new life while constantly scoring goals. Off the field, he chose a luxury SUV to move with his family in Miami.
After leaving the old continent, Messi left behind a huge collection of cars because the transportation to the new city was not easy. Although the club is responsible for trips to other cities every time Inter Miami plays, the La Pulga family still needs a car for daily work and travel in the US.
That’s why Messi decided to buy a car and spared no money. He chose an SUV with the ideal space for the whole family. This is the Bentley Bentayga EWB, a model that combines power, luxury and sportiness on four wheels.
The car stands out at first glance in terms of design, especially the interior with leather upholstery, which Bentley Motors has always appreciated for its luxury car aesthetic. The rear screen, space for multiple passengers and a large trunk add the essentials that a family of 5 needs for the trip.
However, the highlight of Messi’s new car is the power and engine. It is a car that reaches a maximum speed of 290km / h thanks to a V8 engine providing a capacity of 550CV. In addition, for those who love speed and care about this factor, it is certainly satisfied because it accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in just 4.5 seconds.
The advantage of this SUV, as the official website states, is that it is highly customizable, so the owner can still make some adjustments before buying. Of course, this also changes the final value of the vehicle. Without the basic features modified, Messi’s Bentley costs around $286,000.
When coming to Inter Miami less than 2 months ago, people caught the Argentinian star coming to practice in the Audi Q8 in the sporty RS variant, one of the most prominent models of the German car company priced at 176,000 USD at the airport. Argentina and 95,900 euros in Europe. Messi has had a strong association with the brand since his Barcelona days, when Audi sponsored the club and gave each player a car model of their choice.
In Argentina, Messi has another Q8. He was also seen in a Porsche Macan during an outing to Buenos Aires after winning the World Cup. The Audi Q8 is a coupe-style SUV, belonging to the large (E) segment. It was launched by the German premium brand in 2018 and competes in the market with models such as the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe, BMW X6 and Porsche Cayenne Coupe. The 55 TFSI petrol version is equipped with a 3.0 V6 engine with a capacity of 340 horsepower, combined with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
