2018 FIFA World Cup Special: Stars And Their Supercars

June 15, 2018 by Online Car India

Antoine Griezmann, France

France are perennially successful in World Cups and their current crop of players definitely have what it takes to bring back the glory days. The tip of the French arrow is Griezmann and despite his dodgy dance moves, when he’s got the ball at his feet, he’s capable of conjuring moments of magic. Expect him to score quite a few and Les Bleus to go far in the tournament off the back of his efforts.

His Wheels: Griezmann’s top car in our estimate is the McLaren 675 LT. The super exclusive McLaren isn’t the most conventional choice in terms of footballer cars and that suits Griezmann because he’s taken the unconventional route to the top (and celebrates unconventionally too)!

McLaren 675 LT: Need to Know

Engine: 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8
Power: 675 PS
Torque: 700 Nm
Transmission: Seven-speed dual-clutch automatic
0-100 km/h: 2.9 seconds

Neymar Jr, Brazil

Brazil are automatically one of the favourites for any World Cup based on stature alone, and Russia 2018 is no exception. The jewel in their crown is undoubtedly Neymar Jr and after gaining some time out from underneath Messi’s shadow and growing into the role of the main man at Paris Saint Germain, he’ll be itching to lead his team to glory and get his hands on the cup.

His Wheels: Another player with an extensive garage of absolute crackers, his top car is the Maserati MC12. Another extremely exclusive car, the MC12 is essentially a road-going version of the brand’s 2004 GT series racer and is an absolute tarmac shredder.
