Mario Balotelli Rides in a Ferrari 458 Italia

We could have made the title “Soccer Player Drives Car” because to be honest, the Ferrari 458 Italia is a firm favorite with the ball kickers. They never take the Maranello marvel to the limit, nor do they understand the heritage, but they love that it’s Italian and expensive.
Whatever the case Mario Balotelli, who currently plays for Manchester City, drives a red Ferrari 458 Italia. His parents imagrated from Ghana to Italy, where the 21-year old player nicknamed Super Mario was born.

Mario has been known for his somewhat crazy activities in the past, like visiting a woman’s prison to have a look around, so we’re curious to see what the does with the Ferrari. His passion for cars is also significant, probably on par with fellow footballer Cristiano Ronaldo.

He’s owned a matte black Audi R8, which he crashed, a Bentley Continental GT and a Maserati GranTurismo, to name but a few.

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.
