The speedster, the creator, the dribbler, the powerhouse and the engine. Every team in the World Cup has a player that shows at least one such quirk on the field. Compare that to cars and bang on! You get to see a striking similarity that is just so hard to miss. So if Cristiano Ronaldo were to be born as a car, he’d definitely be a Bugati Veyron Super Sport that runs at a blinding speed. And if you were loaded enough to have a ‘Lionel Messi’ parked in your garage, you’d get a driving experience of a Lamborghini Huracan. Why? Ask Carmudi, the world’s fastest growing car classifieds with over 300 car-fanatic-employees, that are cheering for their World Cup heroes behind the hottest wheels.
Christian Keller, Managing Director of Carmudi Nigeria, explained the logic behind the pairings: “Comparing the unique styles of football’s biggest stars on the pitch to the blistering speed of some of the world’s most desirable cars seems fairly natural to the team at Carmudi, since we all live and breathe cars here. One of the local teams at Carmudi has a betting contest going on, and the winner will get to drive a ‘Cristiano Ronaldo’, if not anything better, so it is fair to say that we are all getting into the World Cup spirit”
So hold your horses as Carmudi hurls out the vital stats that compare footballers to roaring machines on the ground:
Bastian Schweinsteiger
Country: Germany
Club: Bayern Munich
Car Twin: BMW i8
Commentary: The German brand has built a sleek looking car that surprises with its ability to cover lots of road with its efficient fuel consumption. Schweinsteiger just like the i8 covers vast amounts of the pitch for a whole game with his endless stamina.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Country: Portugal
Club: Real Madrid
Car Twin: Bugatti Veyron Super Sport
Commentary: Simply the fastest car in the world. One of Ronaldo’s main, if not most prominent, attributes is his blinding speed.
Neymar Jr
Country: Brazil
Club: Barcelona
Car Twin: Porsche Cayman S PDK
Commentary: Said to feel like an extension of the body. The handling of this Porsche is smooth as silk, just as silky as Neymar’s dribbling and handling of the ball.
Lionel Messi
Country: Argentina
Club: Barcelona
Car Twin: Lamborghini Huracan
Commentary: The sensory mechanisms in this car detect danger and react accordingly, much like Messi’s heightened awareness allows him to pick apart teams
Yaya Toure
Country: Ivory Coast
Club: Manchester City
Car Twin: Nissan GT-R AMS Alpha 12
Commentary: One of the most powerful cars in the world and when it gets going it takes some stopping. Just like Toure’s rampaging runs through midfield he takes some stopping too.
