Rory McIlroy, the renowned golfer, is not only famous for his skills on the golf course but also for his extravagant car collection. Away from the fairways, McIlroy lives a lifestyle that many envy, residing in a stunning mansion in the US with his wife, Erica Stoll. With a fortune estimated to be around £200 million, McIlroy has amassed an impressive collection of luxury cars. Let's take a closer look at some of his most notable vehicles.
Ferrari F430
One of the highlights of McIlroy's car collection is the Ferrari F430. Produced by Ferrari from 2004 to 2009, this sleek sports car is a true gem. With only 15,000 units ever produced, it's a rare find. McIlroy was spotted driving a black F430 in 2013, with his then-girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki by his side. The F430 boasts a powerful 4.3-liter V8 engine, delivering an impressive 490 horsepower. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds.
Ferrari F12
Another Ferrari in McIlroy's collection is the stunning Ferrari F12. He acquired this beauty from his fellow golfer, Ian Poulter, who posted a photo of the car on social media, expressing his confidence in McIlroy's ability to take care of it. A brand new Ferrari F12 costs around £240,000, but for a golfer of McIlroy's caliber, the price tag is just a drop in the bucket. With a top speed of 0-62 mph, this impressive vehicle is a sight to behold.
Lamborghini Aventador
McIlroy's car collection wouldn't be complete without a Lamborghini, and he chose the iconic Aventador. This flagship Lamborghini is admired by many, including Premier League footballers. While it's not confirmed if he currently owns one, McIlroy has been spotted driving a white Aventador around Monaco. With 700 horsepower and a top speed of 196 mph, this car truly lives up to its reputation as a high-performance luxury vehicle.
BMW i8
As an international golf star, McIlroy often gets the opportunity to drive amazing cars. One such car is the BMW i8, which he was given the chance to drive at the BMW Championship. The i8 hybrid turned heads with its sleek design and impressive performance. With a starting price of around £106,000, the i8 is a hybrid sports car that can reach a top speed of 155 mph and accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds.
Jaguar F-Type
Although McIlroy doesn't own a Jaguar F-Type, he had the chance to experience the thrill of driving one. In 2017, he participated in a segment for Amazon Prime's The Grand Tour, where he raced against Paris Hilton on an Oxford race track. McIlroy outshone Hilton, achieving a faster lap time by four seconds. The Jaguar F-Type, with its top speed of 186 mph and acceleration of 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds, proved to be a worthy competitor.
BMW i3
In 2013, McIlroy's affiliation with BMW began, and he was seen driving the BMW i3, the company's first fully electric car. The i3, with a base price of around £35,000, offered a range of 153 miles on a full charge and could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.6 seconds. However, the model has been discontinued from 2021 as BMW shifts its focus to electric SUVs.
Range Rover Sport
After winning The Open Championship in 2014, McIlroy decided to celebrate by treating himself to a new car. He purchased a customised Range Rover Sport from Overfinch, a luxury car customizer, and was seen cruising around Belfast in his sleek black SUV. The Range Rover Sport, priced at around £145,000, is a popular choice among Premier League elites.
Shutting Down Rumours
Despite various reports, it's important to note that McIlroy has never owned a Bugatti Veyron Sport Edition. Although rumors circulated that he acquired a grey one from a Belfast dealership, McIlroy categorically denied these claims on social media, calling them "total b*******!" It seems this luxurious vehicle was nothing more than a figment of someone's imagination.
With his impressive car collection, Rory McIlroy proves that he not only has a talent for golf but also a taste for luxury. Whether he's behind the wheel of a Ferrari or cruising in a Range Rover, McIlroy knows how to make a statement on the road.
