Alonso expands luxury car collection with one-off Pagani Zonda surprise

Things may not be going particularly well for the Spaniard on track, with the AMR26 falling well short of expectations so far, but Alonso can at least take some comfort in adding yet another absolute masterpiece to his collection - this time a stunning Pagani road car.

The one-off Pagani Zonda 760 Roadster Diamante Verde is powered by a naturally aspirated 7.3-litre Mercedes-AMG V12 producing 760 horsepower and 780 Nm of torque, paired with a six-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. The car is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in around 2.8 seconds and reaching a top speed of roughly 350 km/h.

What attracted the most attention, however, was not so much the car’s extraordinary technical specifications, but rather a special custom-made Recaro child seat inspired by Alonso’s racing helmet, a tribute linked to the recent birth of his son during the Japanese Grand Prix weekend. The Spaniard can already boast an extraordinary collection of ultra-luxurious cars, including an Aston Martin Valkyrie, a Valiant and a DBX S, as well as a recently acquired Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR.

While Alonso recently got his hands on an ultra-exclusive piece of automotive engineering, Leclerc instead decided to expand his luxury lifestyle at sea by unveiling a brand-new multi-million-dollar yacht. The Ferrari driver presented the impressive Riva 102’ Corsaro Super in the Italian city of La Spezia alongside his wife Alexandra and their dog Leo. The yacht measures just over 30 metres in length with a beam of 6.7 metres and a total weight of around 110 tonnes when fully loaded.

Powered by twin MTU 16V 2000 M96/M96L engines producing more than 5,200 horsepower combined, the vessel can reach a top speed of 28 knots while cruising comfortably at around 23 to 24 knots. Leclerc’s passion for luxury yachts is nothing new, having already owned both a Riva 82’ Diva and a 48 Dolceriva called “Monza”, named after his memorable first Ferrari victory on Italian soil back in 2019.
