A rear-wheel drive, V12-powered car is not quite easy to control, especially if you come across some oil on the road, as Cristiano Ronaldo found out back in 2009, when he crashed his Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano inside a tunnel due to the aforementioned reason.
The football player has moved on - for example he now drives a Lamborghini Aventador, among others, but his 599 hasn’t and it is now time for this to happen. Thus, the seriously damaged Grand Tourer is now available for sale and you can find it on eBay France. Since the vehicle has sustained severe damage in the accident, it is offered for EUR50,000 ($64,273 at the current exchange rate).
Our say: you can always look on the bright side, the car has only 3,000 km (1860 miles) on its odometer.
As to his decision to sell the wrecked car, we can’t say it comes as a big surprise. After all, we’re looking at the world’s most expensive player (ever since he moved from Manchester United to Real Madrid in a transfer worth £80 million/€94 million/$132 million). His buyout clause is valued at EUR1 billion and that makes him extremely expensive.
Sure, all that money comes from years of hard work and tonnes of talent. Let us just remind you that by the age of 22, Ronaldo had received Ballon d’Or and FIFA World Player of the Year nominations. The following year, in 2008, he won both for the first time. He also is the only player in the history of football to score 50 or more goals in a season on five consecutive occasions.
Of course, we could easily go on with this list for a long time, but the point is we’re dealing with one of the best footballers in the sport’s history. If you ever wondered what he does with all that cash, you’ll want to know he spends some part of it on car-shopping, just like Floyd Mayweather does.
He owns a vast collection of expensive luxury autos of which we’ll only mention a couple: BMW M6, Bentley Continental GTC, Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sports Coupe, Audi Q7, Ferrari F430, Audi R8.
