Ronaldo's Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse: A Tale of Two Cars
Cristiano Ronaldo, the renowned Portuguese footballer, was recently spotted driving a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse in Lisbon, Portugal. This sighting revived memories of an earlier incident involving one of his Bugatti Veyrons.
Ronald's first Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, originally purchased to celebrate Portugal's Euro 2016 success and painted dark purple, was crashed by one of his bodyguards while being delivered to him. The bodyguard spun off and hit a wall with the supercar. It is unclear if the original car still exists in its initial form, as it may have been completely restored and customized or replaced by a new version, given Ronaldo's means to buy another one.
The woman who filmed Ronaldo driving the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse was initially surprised to see a Bugatti Veyron on the streets of Lisbon. When she realized it was Ronaldo behind the wheel, she was taken aback.
Meanwhile, one of Ronaldo's bodyguards has been filmed driving the iconic Centodieci, one of the rarest supercars offered by Bugatti.
Ronaldo's love for the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse has lasted for the better part of a decade. He owns two of these high-performance vehicles. The current status of the original crashed Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse is unclear, and there is no confirmed public information on the exact current location of the original crashed Bugatti or whether it remains in his collection after that incident.
In addition to his Bugattis, Ronaldo's supercar collection includes a Mansory G-Wagen in Dubai and a Ferrari Daytona SP3 in Portugal.
Born in Madeira, Portugal, Ronaldo has spent much of his time out in the Middle East, having secured a new deal at Saudi soccer club Al-Nassr. Despite the incident with his first Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, Ronaldo continues to appreciate and collect supercars, embodying his passion for speed and luxury.
