Cristiano Ronaldo buys £350k Rolls-Royce

The Portuguese midfielder bought the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe from Doncaster-based luxury car dealer Liquid 45.

With a 6.75-litre V12 engine under the bonnet, the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe is regarded as the world’s ultimate convertible developing 453bhp and 531lb/ft of pulling power. This accelerates the luxurious British car from 0-62mph (100kph) in 5.7 seconds and on to a top speed of 149mph.

The Roller is the latest dream machine which the Portuguese icon has splashed out on. In the past, Ronaldo has owned an Aston Martin DB9, BMW 6 Series, Ferrari F430 and Audi R8. It’s also believed Ronaldo was so impressed with the Bugatti Veyron he raced in a Nike commercial he put his name down on the waiting list for the £830,000 hypercar. And his old Porsche Cayenne was recently for sale on Auto Trader, and was promptly snapped up. The Phantom Drophead Coupe is a super-exclusive car with the likes of former England captain David Beckham owning one. Like Ronaldo, Beckham also wore the number seven shirt at United before leaving for Real Madrid – a club which has spent the summer trying to sign the Portuguese winger.
