A gift from girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez, Ronaldo was visibly surprised before absolute elation took over. And there is good reason for the wide-eyed feelings even if it was on a man known for owning the best of the best supercars.
In a field of power performers on four wheels, the Brabus 800 Widestar is a striker with style, poise and muscle. Powered by a four-liter eight-cylinder twin-turbo engine, the car produces a thunderous peak output of 588 kW / 800 hp (789 bhp) and a hair-raising peak torque of 1,000 Nm (737 lb-ft). Also referred to as a 'super SUV', the Brabus 800 Widestar has an electronically limited top speed of 240 km/h (149 mph). That hardly stops the gorgeous beast from sprinting from zero to 100 kmph in just 4.1 seconds.
Charging on ginormous 23-inch hi-tech forged wheels, the Brabus 800 Widestar's regal road presence is only shadowed by what it offers on the inside. Exclusive fine leather materials on the seats and dash scream opulence while a mile-long list of features - luxury as well connectivity, drowns out the buzz of the outside world.
Mercedes offers nearly-limitless customization options on the Brabus 800 Widestar and while the specific details of what Ronaldo's latest cars could sport is not known, it is a given that Georgina would have added a personalized touch to the magnificent machine.
