Marcus Rashford has treated himself to a $800,000 Rolls-Royce Wraith – and it’s not the first time he’s invested in the English luxury car brand.

It replaces a very similar model that the 26-year-old soccer player and philanthropist totaled last September.

His Rolls-Royce Black Badge Wraith was picked up by lorry in Bavaria, Germany on Tuesday, 14 May.

Marcus Rashford is hoping to be behind the wheel before the end of the week, per reports.

He’s invested in a 6.6 litre turbo-charged V12 two-clamshell-door coupe.

With a top speed of 249 km/h (155 mph), it can also hit 0-97 km/h (0-60 mph) in 4.4 seconds.

It boasts a full interior and exterior modification by Mansory.

However, despite the similarities to his former wheels, this time Rashford has opted for a white over a grey shade finish.

Despite sustaining damage to the front, left front wing, and a damaged rear left wheel and bumper, with just 1,609 km (1,000 miles) racked up, it sold at auction for $233,180 per The Sun.

It was bought by YouTuber, Mat Armstrong, who hopes to fix it up again.

Rashford owns two other Rolls-Royce, including a Black Badge Cullinan – like the car gifted to Indian philanthropist and businesswoman, Nita Ambani, by her billionaire husband – and a Cullinan Blue Shadow purchased last summer.

But, aside from a fondness for the Spirit of Ecstasy, Marcus Rashford also boasts a McLaren 765 Long Tail in his collection.

Check out the stunning car collection of Lando Norris, which features no less than four stunning supercars made by his employer.

Rashford’s McLaren sits in his garage alongside a Lamborghini Urus Performante – not unlike this Lamborghini Urus that was customized by Mansory costing in excess of $500,000.

As well as a host of exterior changes, the powertrain has been tweaked, too.

Its 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine produces a whopping 670 hp, which is good for 0-100 km/h in around 3.5 seconds

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. 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. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
