Cristiano Ronaldo has been caught on camera in his new Ferrari, with onlookers commenting that it looks like a ‘spaceship’.

The Portuguese national was spotted driving around the streets of Lisbon in the super-exclusive Ferrari supercar.

He arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel in the heart of the capital city on Tuesday, 26 March, before handing the keys to the valet.

The video, shared on Instagram by @lisbon.cars, shows him en route to join his teammates for the game against Slovenia after the star missed their match against Sweden while on vacation.

The car in question was a brand-new, exclusive – and über-expensive – Ferrari Daytona SP3, a supercar that only adds to his already impressive car collection.

Ronaldo has a fleet that is reportedly worth $18 million.

Earlier this year, he acquired a new Ferrari Purosangue – the brand’s first SUV.

He is also one of the few people in the world to own a limited edition Ferrari Monza SP.

This latest Ronaldo runabout is one of only 599 that the Maranello-based brand is building for the global market – and, sorry, they’re all already taken.

The soccer star was also credited with the ownership of the one-of-one Bugatti La Voiture Noire, a Veyron, a Chiron, and a Centodieci.

That’s alongside a Mercedes-AMG G 63 tuned by Brabus, a McLaren Senna, a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a Cullinan, an Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, and it’s a list he’s constantly adding to.

His Daytona SP3 is part of Ferrari’s Icona Series alongside the Monza SP1 and SP2.

The SP3 is the first street-legal Ferrari with a mid-mounted 12-cylinder engine, with no electrification since the Ferrari Enzo back in 2002.

In fact, it’s Ferrari’s most powerful engine.

The naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V8 boasts a 829 horsepower (840 metric horsepower) and 514 pound-feet (697 Newton-meters) of torque.

This is sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

 It has a 0-97 km/h (0-60 mph) of just 2.85 seconds and does 0-200 kph (0-124 mph) in a mere 7.4 seconds.

Its speed maxes out at 340 km/h (211 mph).

The expensive model doesn’t even make a dent in Ronaldo’s wallet, as he’s on $200 million per year at Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League.

Let’s break that down slightly.

Ronaldo makes $1.66 million per month or $548,000 per day, $22,831 per hour, or $380 per minute.

Not bad work, if you can get it.

After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories.
