If Karim Benzema has a favourite pastime aside from football, it’s cars.
Benzema, one of the best attackers in the world, has made a tonne of money playing the game.

On Instagram, Benzema proudly flaunts his well-known vehicles.
Is it any wonder that he stores these cute cars in his garage?
The Real Madrid player is rumoured to possess a collection of cars worth approximately £6 million. He scored against Chelsea in the Champions League quarterfinal.
Apart from the £2.5 Bugatti Chiron that he acquired in 2021, his collection also consists of an extremely rare Bugatti Veyron, a Ferrari 458 Spider, and numerous more incredible automobiles.
With your mince pie, savour the 35-year-old French striker’s superb motors.
The newest addition: Benzema showed off his most recent glittering possession on Instagram—a £2.5 million Bugatti Chiron.
The hypercar performs better than the Veyron, which is already quite good.
Its top speed is only 261 mph, but it can reach 0-62 mph in less than 2.5 seconds and 186 mph in 13.6 seconds.
It’s not just any old hypercar, either.

As it should, Benzema’s Mercedes Benz-SLR is the pride of his garage.
This unique Stirling Moss edition model, valued at over £750k, can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 3.5 seconds.
Karim posted pictures of the motor on social media in 2017, not long after he crashed 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…

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, without one, you wouldn’t truly be a millionaire, would you?
Benzema’s Madrid villa is the focal point of his £250k-estimated Wraith model.
He rarely appears to drive the beauty, but he has shared melancholic photos of it on social media.
However, he has firmly planted his posterior on the car’s bonnet, which is undoubtedly sacrilegious.
The statement car…

You’ll stand out if you drive a red Lamborghini into the stores.
Additionally, you can be certain that Benzema will be in and out of the supermercado in a matter of minutes if it’s a superfast Gallardo model.
Both Robinho and Wayne Rooney had one at one point while they were both at Manchester City.
It is the pinnacle of Italian craftsmanship, with a top speed of 202 mph.
And the Sunday car…

If your Sunday-morrow automobile is worth £140,000, that is!
During his free time, Benzema drives an extremely well-maintained Mercedes-AMG Classe G63.
Known by many by the moniker “G-Wagen,” this cosy vehicle has been rated as one of the greatest SUVs ever made by auto experts.
It’s definitely appealing to Karim, who added it to his fleet of vehicles in 2017.
Another Bugatti…

Next up for Benzema to drive?
The absurdly powerful Bugatti Veyron was his first acquisition from Bugatti.
A car that is valued at £1.5 million and is becoming more and more of a collector’s item, Benzema is obviously in love with the sophisticated supercar.
With a peak speed of 267.86 mph, it is the fastest roadworthy car ever made. A total of 450 were produced.
