Inside Rafael Nadal’s amazing car collection, including a £238k Aston Martin loved by James Bond

RAFAEL NADAL has built some life for himself.

As one of the most recognised sports stars on the planet, he has combined success with huge sponsorship deals to boost his bank account.

It is estimated that the 37-year-old Spanish tennis legend has amassed a £180million fortune.

With that, he has able to afford a life of luxury.

He owns a stunning £4.5million yacht, as well as a beautiful home in Majorca worth £3million.

And his amazing garage is something to behold.

Lets take you through Nadal's brilliant car collection.




Aston Martin DBS, £238,000

The name's Nadal, Rafa Nadal.

Like James Bond, the French Open king has a penchant for a classy Aston Martin.

He has been spotted behind the wheel of a very expensive DBS.

This two-door beauty is able to do 0-62 mph in 3.6 seconds.

The top models come with a twin-turbo 5.2-litre V12 engine that produces producing 760 horse power.

It is the most expensive car in Nadal's garage.



Ferrari 458 Italia, £180,000

The quickest of Nadal's motors, his Ferrari 458 Italia reaches 0-62 mph in just three seconds.

Costing a whopping £180,000 - it's a pricey supercar.

But, it's definitely worth it in the style stakes because nothing looks as sleek as a Ferrari.

It's powered by a 4.5 litre V8 engine that produces 562 horse power.

Footballers including Neymar, Mesut Ozil and Mario Balotelli have all been seen with a 458 Italia.



Mercedes Benz AMG G63, £130,000

A favourite of celebrities across the globe in recent years, Nadal is a lover of the famous G-Wagon by Mercedes.

The G-class is renowned for its more rugged look and is made using a body-on-frame assembly method rather than the unibody approach more usually taken to modern luxury cars.

Like its British counterpart the Jeep, it was originally developed as a military off-roader before going commercial.

It can go from 0-62 mph in 4.5 seconds to 6.4 seconds, depending on the model.



Mercedes Benz AMG SL55, £172,000

Mercedes' AMG motors are top spec, don't worry about that.

So no wonder Nadal invested £172,000 of his cash in a powerful SL55.

It's one of the German manufacturer's most in-demand cars for the elite.

Powered by a 4.0 litre twin-turbo V8 that generates 470 horse power, it goes from 0-62 mph in 3.9 seconds.

While it's no slouch either, capable of a top speed of 183 mph.





Kia EV6 GT, from £48,000

Ah, to be a sports star and get sponsored by a car giant.

Since as far back as 2006, Nadal has been a brand ambassador for the super-reliable Kia.

That means he has had the pick of their fleet.

Nadal is known to favour a electric EV6 GT, that sells for around £48,000.

Boasting 577 horse power and a top speed of 162 mph, it's Kia's best kept secret.




Kia Stinger, from £34,000

The Stinger is the cheapest car we've seen Nadal drive.

But that doesn't mean it lacks in quality. Far from it.

This modern family-sized five door hatchback is a worthy competitor to the Audi A5 Sportback and BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe.

The most powerful engine it comes with is a 365 horse power 3.3 litre turbo petrol V6.

That is able to generate some speed, where it can hit 0-62 mph in 4.7 seconds.

Kia even introduced a special Rafa edition of the car which featured jazzier decor.
