    And when it comes to his motors, he still loves them fast and incredibly expensive.
    Zlatan boasts an amazing car collection that’ll be the envy of all dressing rooms around Europe.
    From an impressive fleet of Ferraris, including the recent £1.7million Daytona SP3 he added to his garage to an astonishing £650,000 Porsche – the centre forward is a true petrol head.
    But, he remained true to his roots when he became an ambassador for car makers Volvo, even driving their modest £40,000 XC40 to training at a former club.

    The new addition
    This week, Zlatan really treated himself.
    For his 40th birthday, he bought himself a £400,000 Ferrari Sf90 Stradale.
    He shared an image of his new addition on Instagram, captioning the snap: “Happy Birthday to Zlatan”.
    It’s Ferrari’s first foray into electric cars and can reach a top speed up to 211 mph.
    But, he wasn’t totally convinced by it. Instead, he traded it for a Daytona SP3 with a price tag of £1.7million.
    The mid-engine V12 sportscar can hit 62mph in a staggering 2.86 seconds.
    Reports claim there is only 599 models of the car in the world.

    Going vintage
    Zlatan clearly has a thing for Italian fast cars, and splashing out on a new set of wheels on his special day.
    In 2019, for his 38th, he bought a rare Ferrari Monza SP2 for a staggering £1.4million.
    He is only one of 499 people in the world that own the supercar.
    The superfast car can hit 0-60 mph in around 2.9 seconds.
    The Ferrari Monza is the most expensive in Zlatan’s car collection
    Capable of reaching 0-60 mph in just 2.9 seconds, the Monza is worth around £1.4m
    Current ride
    However, standing at 6ft 5in Zlatan needs a car that offers him plenty of leg room.
    That’s why, when it comes to training, he prefers an SUV.
    At AC Milan, the centre forward has been spied arriving to training in a £160,000 Lamborghini Urus.
    The Urus is a favourite of footballers at the moment, including former Man Utd star Cristiano Ronaldo who was once seen driving to Carrington in one.

    Statement red
    Only 400 Ferrari Enzo cars exist in the world, and Zlatan has one of them.
    Seen as a collector’s item, it’s a motor that can be sold for over a million pounds at auction.
    It was developed in 2002 using Formula One technology, including a a carbon-fibre body and F1-style automated-shift manual transmission.
    Although, we’ve rarely seen Zlatan driving it.
    Zlatan is one of 400 lucky owners who have a rare Ferrari Enzo worth around £1m
    Spider Man
    Between 2005-2009, the Ferrari F430 Spider was a footballers’ favourite.
    Chelsea legend John Terry, who himself is a Ferrari obsessive, was seen driving one around the streets of Surrey.
    When it was released, it carried a price tag of around £120,000.
    Nicknamed their ‘Baby Enzo’, it can hit 0-62 mph in four seconds.

    Top of the range Porsche
    Zlatan loves anything limited edition.
    Which is why he bought a £700,000 Porsche Spyder in and around 2014.
    Only 918 models were made of the supercar, which sold out completely in 2015.
    It was only the second plug-in hybrid car Porsche ever produced.
    Only 918 models of the Porsche Spyder exist in the world
    ANOTHER ITALIAN MASTERPIECE
    Italian gentleman’s car makers Maserati are renowned for their luxury vehicles.
    So, it goes without saying, Zlatan used his extensive time playing in Italy to research enough about the stylish car manufacturers.
    In about 2011, he bought a GranTurismo MC Stradale worth around £92,000.
    Under the hood, it boasts a 450 hp V8 engine and has a top speed of 187 mph.

    COMPANY CAR
    In 2014, Zlatan became an ambassador for Swedish car manufacturers Volvo, appearing in a series of ads.

    But that was not before he became the club’s all-time leading scorer with 260 goals, as well as a five-time Premier League winner.
    His glittering career allowed him to accrue a huge wealth and reported £65million fortune.
    And since he has retired, the Argentinian has invested in eSports team KRU, become an ambassador for betting company Stake, and become a founder of healthy energy drink Go Mate.
    That hasn’t stopped him from enjoying his impressive car collection.

    From owning James Bond’s Range Rover to a Lamborghini Aventador costing £361,000 he never drove, that only collected cobwebs, here’s his amazing fleet of motors.
    Lumma CLR SV Range Rover, £150,000
    If Sergio had any aspirations of becoming the next James Bond, he’s certainly auditioned in the right car.
    The Lumma CLR SV Range Rover was seen in 007 movie Spectre, cutting through the snow during one particular action scene.
    It didn’t quite get the fanfare of Bond’s Aston Martin, but it’s still nifty all the same.

    Aguero was spotted driving it to the ground before a cup game against Burnley.
    However, City fans might not be happy with his choice of colour for the Range Rover’s leather seats… yes, it’s red.
    Lamborghini Aventador, £361,000
    In 2014, Aguero splashed the cash on a stunning Lamborghini.
    His first port of call was celebrity car customiser Yianni Charalambous, who wrapped it in a stunning satin black wrap, and gave him custom wheels with orange calipers and orange interior.
    The Aventador is Aguero’s fastest car – and can reach a top speed of 218mph.
    Despite the large sum spent, the former frontman complained he never drove it.
     “I don’t know why the f*** I bought a Lamborghini,” he told Argentine told TV show Santo Sabado in 2021.
    “It must have done about 1,200km (745 miles) in six years – I’ve barely used it.

    “Now the only thing it does is get cold from the rain; it has cobwebs and everything.”
    He put it up for sale in 2021 on AutoTrader.
    Ferrari GTC4 Lusso, £250,000
    On a trip to Los Angeles in 2018, Aguero hired this stunning Ferrari to cruise along Sunset Boulevard in.
    He was so taken by it,
     he immediately got himself a gorgeous black £250k GTC4 Lusso.
    Capable of hitting 60mph in 3.4 seconds, it’s fast and incredibly powerful.
    The GTC4 Lusso runs off a 6.3-litre V12 engine, and has 681 bhp.
    And with a top speed of 208mph, it’s certainly no slouch either.

    Nissan GT-R, £91,000
    As a former ambassador for Nissan, Aguero also added their brilliant GT-R to his car collection in 2017.
    And right before a Manchester derby the same year, he stood aside the brilliantly custom wrapped supercar as he launched his Puma evoSPEED SL-S football boot that he had custom-made for that game.
    Again, the motor was customised by Yianni Charalambous.
    The GT-R was wrapped in sky blue, had a black stripe through it – and looked like a cross between the Argentina, Man City shirts, and his boots.
    “We’ve replicated every detail of the evoSPEED Derby Fever boot design in the wrap,” Yianni said at the time.
    As part of his ambassador role, Aguero had his own Nissan GT-R
    “He’s a real petrol head and having already customised two cars for him, I hope the only three-points he gets are on the pitch and not the M62!”
    A gift for the kit man
    Upon leaving the Etihad, kindhearted Aguero held a raffle – with the lucky winner receiving his £40,000 Range Rover Evoque.
    Kit man Ally Marland won it, and was spotted giving the striker a huge hug as he said his goodbyes to club staff.
    But Ally and his wife already had cars, so they did the next best thing.

    The Al-Nassr forward managed to get his hands on the Bugatti Centodieci.
    But he was not able to make the full use of the 1,600 horsepower machine that maxes out at 240mph… due to the swarms of supporters surrounding the car.
    Video footage shows the five-time Ballon d’Or winner in a white t-shirt, white trousers and a dark blazer climbing into the driver’s seat of the white supercar, protected by a bodyguard.
    The fans desperately tried to get selfies with the footballing icon as some chanted his name.

    Ronaldo then turned on the motor and gently rolled away with barely a noise from the massive eight-litre W16 engine.
    This was the first time Ronaldo was spotted publicly driving the car he bought last year.

    The Centodiece – Italian for 110 – was built as part of the 110th anniversary of Bugatti.
    Ronaldo, as a loyal customer, managed to land himself No7 in the ten-car series – matching the number he has been synonymous with during his career – and his model has a Portuguese registration.

    The former Manchester United man also owns a Bugatti Chiron and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse as part of his stunning car collection which also features Aston Martins, Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Rolls Royces.
    However, he did not manage to add Bugatti’s most expensive and prestigious car of all.
    The one-of-a-kind Bugatti Voiture Noire cost a staggering £9.69m up front before taxes, making it the world’s priciest car when it was created in 2019.
    However, despite false reports at the time suggesting Ronaldo did get it, the Voiture Noire actually went to the family of former Volkswagen Group chairman Ferdinand Piech.
