IF there is one thing Karim Benzema loves more than football, it is cars.
As one of the world’s leading forwards, Benzema has made a packet out of the game.
Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has an incredible car collection
On Instagram Benzema happily shows off his famous cars
So is it any wonder that he houses these sweet rides in his garage.
The Real Madrid star, who scored against Chelsea in the Champions League quarter-final, drives a car collection worth an estimated £6million.
In 2021 he added a £2.5 Bugatti Chiron to his fleet, and he also has a very rare Bugatti Veyron worth £1.5million, as well as a Ferrari 458 Spider and many more cool cars.
Feast your mince pieces on the 35-year-old French striker’s enviable motors.
The new addition…
Benzema showed off his most recent cool whip – a £2.5million Bugatti Chiron – on Instagram.
The hypercar absolutely trounces the already brilliant Veyron in terms of performance.
It’s top speed is limited to 261 mph, while it’s capable of reaching 0-62 mph in just under 2.5 seconds and 186 mph in 13.6 seconds.
It’s not just a hypercar, it’s a hyper hyper car.
Suits you, sir! Benzema shows off his new £2.5m Bugatti Chiron
His boy racer…

Benzema’s Mercedes Benz-SLR sits pride and place in his garage, and so it should.
Worth around £750k, it’s the special Stirling Moss edition version which can go from 0-60mph in just 3.5 seconds.
Karim showed off the motor in 2017 on his social media, shortly after crashing his Audi RS6.
The show pony…

Footballers love Ferrari and Benzema is no different.
He’s been seen regularly darting around the streets of Madrid in a class Ferrari 458 Spider, which has a value of around £200k.
Other Ferrari 458 Spider drivers include Mesut Ozil, Frank Lampard and Theo Walcott.
The company cars..
As part of Real Madrid’s sponsorship deal with Audi, Karim Benzema can get his hands on any of their cars he wants

Corporate sponsorship is a wonderful thing for a footballer.
Especially if you play for Real Madrid and Audi want a piece of you.
Thanks to their marketing geniuses, Benzema has been seen in two of their cars – their RS6 Avant C7 model worth around £90k.
As well as their standard SUV, the Q5, that retails for a modest £40k.
A true gentleman’s car…

After all, you wouldn’t be a real millionaire without one, right?
Benzema has the Wraith model, estimated at £250k, sitting pride of place in his Madrid mansion.
He’s posted moody shots on social media of the beauty, which he hardly seems to drive.
But he has parked his backside firmly on the car’s bonnet, which is surely sacrilegious.
The statement car…
The Lamborghini Gallardo is a firm favourite with footballers, including Karim BenzemaCredit: Instagram, @karimbenzema
Able to reach a top speed of 202mph, Karim Benzema loves cruising around in his Lamborghini

Popping down to the shops in a red Lamborghini will get you noticed.
And if it’s a super-speedy Gallardo model, you’ll be sure that Benzema is in and out of the supermercado in minutes.
Wayne Rooney once had one, as did Robinho when he was at Manchester City.
It can reach a top speed of 202mph and is Italian craftmanship at its finest.
And the Sunday car…

Well, if your Sunday car is worth £140k!
Benzema rides a very well looked-after Mercedes-AMG Classe G63 on his downtime.
Often nicknamed the G-Wagen, it’s a comfortable ride that’s been described as one of the best SUVs in the world by motor experts.
It certainly tickles Karim’s fancy, who added it to his car collection in 2017.
Another Bugatti…
Only 450 Bugatti Veyron cars were made by the French car manufacturer
Karim Benzema’s astonishing Bugatti Veyron is worth around £1.5 million
Living life in the fast lane, Karim Benzema’s Bugatti Veyron is fast
20Benzema’s Bugatti Veyron can reach a top speed of 267
His first Bugatti purchase was the ridiculously super Bugatti Veyron.
Worth £1.5 million, and one of those cars that’s a collectors’ item that grows in price, Benzema clearly loves the stylish supercar.
It’s the fastest roadworthy car in existence, able to hit a top speed of 267.86mph. Only 450 were ever made.
Benzema’s entire car collection is thought to be worth £6m, which is more than Liverpool winger Sadio Mane’s yearly salary.
Indeed, despite being recognized among one of the best players in world football, Mane earns around £5.2m per year at Liverpool. Mane, however, is quite the opposite of Benzema and leads a very ordinary lifestyle – opting to donate much of his salary to help the citizens of Senegal.
