Vinicius Junior’s Expensive Car Collection
Audi A7
Footballers appear to adore Audis to an almost unhealthy degree, as I’ve mentioned several times recently. I’m not sure what it is about them, but I believe that most managers could only dream of the camaraderie and collaboration demonstrated for a vehicle brand. Vinicius has three Audis. The Audi A7 is one example.
To be fair to the players, it’s a fantastic vehicle from a reputable manufacturer. This sedan style combines the exceptional performance of a sporty Audi with a distinctive appearance. It has a 335 horsepower V6 engine and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than six seconds. Furthermore, the inside is pretty brilliant and incorporates some of Audi’s famed luxury amenities. The price of $72,890 USD is prohibitively expensive for most people, yet Vinicius is said to earn $208,000 each week at Real Madrid. It’s odd to think of this car as a low-cost vehicle!
Audi e-Tron Sportback
Vinicius’ second Audi costs only $70,000, making it even more affordable. Many would claim that it is superior to the Audi A7 because of its 402 horsepower engine, SUV-like design, traditional grille, and LED headlights. One of the most recent electric vehicles truly makes the concept appealing because it is powerful, swift, and can charge to 80% in 30 minutes. Vinicius will definitely tell you that becoming green does not mean sacrificing style. Vinicius must need a lot of space in his car for all of his extra gear as he journeys from club to practice to game.
What vehicle should he buy next?
The Audi Q7 is Vinicius’ last Audi (for the time being). It is by far his most expensive Audi, costing $368,000 when new. But, because Vinicius is such a celebrity, he supposedly got this wonderful automobile for free! According to a contract between Real Madrid and Audi, the automaker supplies the team’s coach and players with a brand-new vehicle each season. Vinicius does own an Audi Q7, but it will most likely be replaced by a new model in September.
Urus by Lamborghini
Football players may prefer Audis, but it doesn’t mean that’s the only car they’ll ever be seen in. Who wouldn’t jump at the chance to own a Lamborghini if they had the means? One of the most stunning SUVs is the $250,000 Urus, which is still considered “entry level.” The dual turbocharged V8 engine has eight fluid speed automatic gearboxes and a 641 horsepower rating. It’s far faster than one might expect from an SUV, until they learn it’s a Lamborghini! If you want to go beyond Audis and want something powerful, swift, and rough, the Lamborghini Urus might be your best option.
