CRISTIANO RONALDO SHOWING OFF HIS FAVORITE SUV
This soccer star's post on his Instagram page makes people curious about his luxury car collection.
The life of a soccer player like Cristiano Ronaldo can be compared to the life of a millionaire. His weekends were spent showing off his collection of watches and luxury vehicles.
Behind the news of Lionel Messi's move from Barcelona, Cristiano Ronaldo attracted the interest of many people with a post on his Instagram showing himself in style with one of his collection cars. The caption only reads "Have a good week" with a smile icon and a fist bump which makes this upload receive 15 million likes.
Many people wonder about the car in Ronaldo's post. If traced, the SUV was a Brabus 800 Mercedes-AMG G63 produced in 2020. This car was a gift from his lover Georgina Rodriguez when the Juventus megastar turned 35.
This SUV is a fantastic product because it uses a product base that is already special. The Mercedes-AMG G63 in standard conditions uses a 4,000 cc twin-turbo V8 engine that produces 577 hp and 850 Nm of torque.

Brabus is a well-known modification house that often changes the standard Mercedes-AMG to be more savage. Ronaldo's car was converted into an SUV with 789 hp power and peak torque of up to 1,000 Nm using a nine-speed transmission.
The car, which is intended to explore off-road tracks, can move from rest to 100 km per hour in 4.1 seconds. Top speed reaches 240 km per hour, electronically limited due to weight.
Its exterior appearance intimidates anyone around it using 23-inch Brabus Platinum Edition Monoblock hi-tech forged wheels wrapped in 205/35 tires that come from Continental, Pirelli, or Yokohama. The standard AMG body kit was abandoned and replaced by a typical Brabus Widestar widebody design that makes it even more muscular. The changes are present in the emblem, front bumper, additional LED roof light, hood with carbon fiber material, rear roof spoiler, and brake calipers.
Brabus also thought about the roar of the engine from the exhaust of this SUV. Brabus uses a stainless steel exhaust that optimizes performance and sound management. Thanks to the controlled exhaust flaps, the driver can use the Coming Home model, which is quieter, and the sound is louder when in Sport mode. The placement of this exhaust also satisfies the viewer's eyes because it is placed on the front of the rear tire.

The interior gets a touch of color that matches the exterior. The seats use luxurious leather, carpets with unique designs, custom pedals, bucket seats in the back with memory and heating functions, aluminum shift paddles behind the steering wheel, and the addition of the Brabus logo on the headrests. But all of this can be made according to the demands of consumers who want personalization in their vehicles.
The Brabus 800 unit is estimated to cost up to Rp 10 billion. A relatively small number for a footballer with a salary of 31 million Euros or around Rp 518.4 billion per year or almost Rp 10 billion per week.
This Brabus 800 is only part of Ronaldo's collection of luxury cars. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star owns a Bugatti Chiron and Veyron, Lamborghini Aventador, Bentley GT Speed, Aston Martin DB9, Audi R8, and Roll-Royce Phantom.
The most luxurious collection is the Bugatti Centodieci which, when launched, comes with a price tag of Rp 142 billion. This car uses an 8.0L W16 engine that produces 1,600 hp, and only 10 units are produced.
