      CRISTIANO RONALDO was mobbed by fans as he drove his mega-rare £8.8million Bugatti through Madrid.Ronaldo, 38, and just NINE other people in the world own one of the luxury French brand’s most exclusive cars.

      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.

      Lamborghini Huracan, £215,000

      Capable of reaching a top speed of over 200mph, it reaches 0-60mph in just 2.3 seconds.

      BMWi8, £116,000
      The only hybrid in the collection of these fierce rivals, Eubank Jr treated himself for his 29th birthday with the BMW i8.
      As electric motors go, it’s 155mph top speed isn’t to be sniffed at. And it has some acceleration being able to 0-60mph in 4.4 seconds.
      That said, it pales into insignificance when compared to the Lamborghini.

      When Eubank Jr appeared on Top Gear in 2019, he called the G Wagon his “dream car”.
