You guys know what we think about football players and Ferraris? Well not all of them fit that description, since we've finally been able to scoop the car of FC Barcelona winger Alexis Sanchez.
The 24 year old who wears the #9 shirt has treated himself not to the usual red Ferrari 458 Italia, but to an R8 V10. It's not just any ordinary R8, it's the new model for 2014, with all-LED headlights taillights.

The previous R8 was good, but we'd point out the coolest change on the car is that it's gone from an R tronic to an S tronic gearbox. The new double-clutch system means smoother shifts.

As you can see from the video shot by WillLillo SuperCars, a huge mob of people is forming around the football player, curious onlookers and people wanting his autograph.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
