Overwhelmed with Vinicius’s complex and costly supercar collection

When Vinicius Junior was just 15 years old and playing for Brazil’s under-15 team in 2015, he made his explosive debut on the international football stage. He remained a member of the youth team up to the time he was old enough to join the adult squad, and it’s likely that he’ll be one of the most notable players at the upcoming world cup in Qatar in 2022. Vinicius has played professionally for both Real Madrid and Flamengo in addition to his duties with the Brazilian national team. That’s really impressive for someone who just turned 22!

But what about the other things that the winger does? Due to his online presence across several social media platforms, Vinicius is a great fan of flashy outfits and cars, as well as large ships. We are not stunned by his decision to indulge himself given the wealth he has amassed as a result of his remarkable career. Let’s find out what kind of things Vinicius keeps in his garage and how he gets to the gym in such grand fashion, shall we?

Audi A7

Recently, I feel like I’ve been repeating myself when I say this, but football players appear to have an insatiable passion for Audis! I don’t know what it is about them that really brings the whole team together, but I suppose that the togetherness and team spirit demonstrated for a car brand is something that most managers could only dream of having for their company. Vinicius possesses a total of three Audis. The Audi A7 is the first. To be honest with the players, it’s a wonderful car and the manufacturer is one of the best. This specific model is a sedan, and it blends the distinctive appearance of an Audi with the fantastic performance that a sporty Audi is known for. It boasts a V6 engine with 335 horsepower, and it can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than six seconds. The inside is also quite showy and has some of the opulent touches that are typical of Audi vehicles. The price tag is fairly big for most individuals, coming in at $72,890 USD; however, for context, Vinicius’ pay at Real Madrid is reputedly $208,000 per week. The price tag is quite considerable for most people, costing $72,890 USD. It seems counterintuitive to conceive of this automobile as being a low-cost option.

Audi e-Tron Sportback

Vinicius’s second Audi is even more affordable than the first one, coming in at a meager $70,000. However, there are a number of people who believe that it is superior to the Audi A7 due to the fact that it can generate 402 horsepower, has the appearance of an SUV, has a traditional grille, and has LED headlights. It is one of the latest electric cars that makes the concept genuinely look interesting; it is powerful, it is quick, and it can charge up to 80% of its capacity in half an hour. Vinicius will be the first to inform you that selecting a mode of transportation that is friendlier to the environment does not need making concessions in terms of aesthetics. When Vinicius travels from the club to practice to a match, he needs a car that is roomy and has plenty of space for all of the extra uniforms and footwear he needs to bring with him.

Audi Q8

This Audi is equipped with a 3.0 liter turbocharged V6 engine, which has the capacity to produce 335 horsepower. The car has an 8-speed automatic transmission, which allows it to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 5.3 seconds, reaching its maximum speed of 130 miles per hour. The base price for this SUV is $71,995 dollars.
