Virat Kohli Loves His Latest Car

Virat Kohli is among the richest athletes in the world with an apparent net worth of around $75 million. With this kind of money comes the liberty to splurge big on vehicles and the ace cricketer really does go big with his purchases. This is evident in the latest machine in his garage - a swanky Bentley Flying Spur, which he's quite fond of as he can be seen driving it around himself most of the time.

Not a stranger to the Bentley brand - he already owns a Continental GT. The Indian cricket team captain drives a black model of the four-door luxury saloon. The on-road price of this car's top model can be anywhere between Rs. 4 Cr. to Rs. 4.6 Cr., while the on-road price of its base model can hover between Rs. 3.41 Cr. and Rs. 3.93 Cr. In many a video shot by paparazzi, Virat Kohli can be seen exiting the airport and driving away in his Flying Spur with his wife Anushka Sharma by his side.

Virat Kohli's latest car is a particularly powerful vehicle to drive around in. We don't know the exact model that's owned by the cricketer but even the base variant of the car comes with an uber impressive twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine that delivers 500 Bhp at 6,000 rpm and a peak torque of 660 Nm at 1,700 rpm. The top variant, on the other hand, carries a massive 6.0-litre W12 petrol engine under its hood that's good for generating a maximum of 616 Bhp at 6,000 rpm and a peak torque of 800 Nm at 1,700 rpm. Both come with an 8-speed transmission.

That is one beast of a machine and it only exemplifies the kind of character that Virat Kohli is. The other cars in his garage are no duds either. He is often spotted in his Range Rover Vogue as well, which has its number plate ending with ‘1818.' If you're unaware, Virat Kohli's jersey number in all formats happens to be 18. His favourite carmaker still remains Audi though, for the cricketer is known to be the owner of more than five Audi cars. These include a couple of R8 models, an A8L W12 Quattro, an S6, and a Q7.

Kohli also used to own a Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 Spyder back in the day. However, he sold the car off in 2017. The Gallardo was an absolute mean machine, with a 5.2-litre V10 petrol engine that allowed it to offer a top speed of 325 kmph.
