Cristiano Ronaldo went out for a drive in his brand-new Ferrari Daytona SP3, a supercar that he has just added to his already impressive car collection. The $2 million supercar is a bargain for the 38-year-old soccer VIP, who makes a fortune in Saudi Arabia and could afford just about anything, be it with wheels or wings.
The Portuguese soccer star was spotted roaming the streets of Lisbon, Portugal, behind the wheel of his super-expensive, super-exclusive Ferrari Daytona SP3, right before joining his teammates for the friendly game against Slovenia. Ronaldo missed Portugal's clash with Sweden last week. He was on holiday in Saudi Arabia, following a busy season with Al Nassr.

He was seen pulling up in front of the Four Season Hotel in the heart of Lisbon. He got out of the car, handed the key over to a hotel valet, and supposedly entered the luxury hotel.

Ronaldo owns an impressive car collection, which is reportedly worth $18 million. But it could turn out to be more valuable since he owns at least three Bugattis, to start with. The soccer star was also credited with the ownership of the one-of-one Bugatti La Voiture Noire, but the info has never been confirmed. He surely has a Veyron, a Chiron, and a Centodieci, though, alongside a Mercedes-AMG G 63 tuned by Brabus and received as a gift on his 35th birthday from his girlfriend, Georgina, a McLaren Senna, a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a Cullinan, and the list endlessly goes on.

His Daytona SP3, part of Ferrari's Icona Series alongside the Monza SP1 and SP2, is not as exclusive as La Voiture Noire, but it is one of only 599 that Ferrari is building for the global market. And all 599 units had already been spoken for, as usual, when the Maranello-based brand rolls out a limited edition.

The SP3 is powered by Ferrari's most powerful engine and the first street-legal Ferrari to sport a mid-mounted 12-cylinder engine with no electrification since the Ferrari Enzo back in 2002. The naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V8 pumps out 829 horsepower (840 metric horsepower) and 514 pound-feet (697 Newton meters) of torque, sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Those are enough for a run from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 kph) in 2.85 seconds, and it does 0 to 124 mph (0 to 200 kph) in 7.4 seconds on its way to a top speed of 211 mph (340 kph).

A Ferrari like Cristiano Ronaldo's starts at $2 million. But it is just pocket change for the soccer VIP. The 38-year-old is paid $200 million per year to play in the Saudi Pro League. That means that he earns $16.6 million per month, around $548,000 per day, $22,831 per hour, or $380 per minute. This means that he is making money even in his sleep.

It must be the year of Ferraris for Cristiano Ronaldo. He bought a Purosangue in January. Back then, he was saying that he had no idea how many cars he owned. The new Daytona SP3 is going to make counting even more complicated.

Ronaldo is not the only soccer star who spends $2 million on a Purosangue. Zlatan Ibrahimovic got himself one on his 42nd birthday. Buying super-expensive cars for himself on his birthday has become a tradition for Zlatan.
