CR7 shows off ￡1.7m Bugatti Veyron : Football News : Soccer Bible

When you're jumping back on the bus home from work tonight, spare a thought for Cristiano Ronaldo filling up his new £1.7m Bugatti Veyron at a Madrid petrol station. Queuing at the pump, leaning out the window because he's forgotten his pump number, being asked if he wants to buy a bar of Dairy Milk, they're on a £1 special offer at the till. All that drama.

Not that we're jealous, oh no. The bus does 50 miles to the gallon. Would we have a Bugatti Veyron if we could afford one? Yes. But that's not the point. Fine, we're jealous. Even more jealous when we were sat on the bus scrolling through Instagram and saw Ronaldo showing off his new wheels – a brand new £1.7m Bugatti's top of the range Veyron 16.4 Vitesse. A car that goes from 0-to-62 mph in 2.6 seconds. That's considerably faster than the bus.





If Cristiano Ronaldo's Rolls Royce and Lamborghini Aventador weren't quick enough for him then the Veyron will be, clocking a top speed of 255mph – it's the fastest legal road car available on the market thanks to an outer skin made completely of carbon fibre. As seen below, Ronaldo and the Bugatti Veyron have history, with the former Manchester United man racing and beating one for a Nike Football Mercurial Vapor IV advert back in 2008. 
 

Speed, speed, speed. A defining characteristic of Ronaldo's on-pitch and off-pitch game. Very 'Footballer's Car' indeed, although it's not quite at the same level of Stephen Ireland's pimped up Range Rover. His expression says his car is in the garage and he's driving his wife's car to training but his eyes are full of nothing but immediate regret.
