Inside Lionel Messi’s incredible car collection
Messi, sometimes known as Lionel Andres Messi, is frequently regarded as the best player in the world. Additionally, Lionel Messi likes automobiles.
His fiercest opponent Cristiano Ronaldo may not be able to match his eight Ballon d’Or records, but they both have comparable automobile collections.
Messi has more than 20 years of experience with Barcelona and a record 35 championships to his credit. He now owns the La Liga scoring record with the most goals.
Additionally, this relentless force has amassed a garage full of exquisite automotive collections.
11. 2017 Audi Q7 SUV
The Audi Q7 was presented to the majority of Barcelona players in 2016, including Lionel Messi, according to cbssports.com. On the other hand, the 2017 Q7 offered two engine choices and a starting price of $49,000. There were only three trim levels available, and the price increased to $65,000. Additionally, the Q7 is still available in 2023 with the same trim structure. However, it now includes a turbo engine and a mild hybrid system, with a starting price of $58,200.
A 2.0L Turbo Inline-4 with 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque is the engine that comes standard in the Q7 SUV. In addition, a 3.0L Supercharged V6 engine with 333 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque was offered for the Q7 at the same time. Additionally, both engines were coupled.
10. 2015 Audi A7 Sportback
Like many other Ballon d’Or winners, Messi also has an Audi, although this time it’s an A7 Sportsback model from 2015. One of the best sedans from Audi, and one of the best cars overall, is a sedan with a Turismo body design. The premium form of this trim is really fashionable and has a lot of outstanding features. Combined Bi-Xenon lights provide a clear indication of the headlamps. It feels like one of Audi’s most opulent vehicles since the interior is lined with a special type of leather called “Valcona,” and there is a lot of padding.
In the 2015 Audi A7 Sportsback Premium Plus model, the 3.0-liter V6 engine produces roughly 310 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. It has a range of 0 to 60.
9. 2015 Cadillac Escalade
The 2015 Cadillac Escalade is Messi’s preferred vehicle, and the Argentine soccer player is the highest-paid athlete in the world. He was observed partying with his girlfriend in one of the most opulent cars after winning an El-Classico match. In addition to having a large amount of cargo space, it also uses high-quality leather that complements its design and looks excellent.
The 2015 Cadillac Escalade’s 6.2-liter V8 EcoTech 3 engine generates 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. With a top speed of 130 mph and a 6 second acceleration from 0 to 60 mph, it turns out to be rather slow.
8. 2018 Audi RS6 Avant Quattro
Lionel Messi is the proud owner of a total of three Audis. The Audi RS6 Quattro comes in with the highest price tag out of the three. During the time that Messi was in charge in Barcelona, his team participated in an event hosted by Audi. Leo received a gift of a dark blue 2018 Audi Avant RS6 Quattro from an Argentine soccer player, which ultimately led to his decision to purchase an Audi. This wagon is a deep blue color and has a quality interior as well as an exterior that is incredibly robust. The space in the trunk is sufficient for our whole family to be able to enjoy the trip together.
The 4.0-liter TFSI Quattro engine found in the 2018 Audi RS6 Quattro variant generates 543 horsepower and 518 pound-feet of torque. This is said to have a top speed of sixty miles per hour and can accelerate from zero to sixty miles per hour in three and a half seconds.
