Impressive Through And Through: The Fernando Alonso Car Collection
Fernando Alonso has a car collection which would make most British racing green with envy. When you’ve driven some of the fastest, most responsive vehicles in the world on iconic tracks, one might think any production vehicle would be absolutely boring. But Alonso doesn’t seem to be of that mindset at all, thoroughly enjoying the special road-legal rides he has in his garage.
You really should see celebrity chef Guy Fieri’s car collection.

Calling it “the best road legal car on the planet,” Alonso is obviously wild about this Aston Martin Valkyrie. Who can blame him? It’s really a racecar that’s legal to put a license plate on and drive around town, although most of us would be nervous about damaging the pricey hypercar.

Alonso is a member of a few elite circles, including being one of just 375 McLaren P1 owners in the world. The hybrid hypercar and member of the so-called “Holy Trinity” performs how it looks: wild. The man is obviously a fan of extreme road-going dynamics.

The second member of “The Holy Trinity” a LaFerrari is also in Alonso’s collection, which really shouldn’t be surprising. He’s been spotted with the black hybrid hypercar that sports red trim pieces before, impressing many.

Yes, that’s right, Alonso has the third and final member of “The Holy Trinity” a Porsche 918 Spyder, which means he’s in an even more elite club as one of the few to have them all in his garage. Just like with the other rides in his collection, undoubtedly because this has been owned by the famous racecar driver it’s worth even more than it would be otherwise.

While it’s easy to imagine even for a racecar driver the Valkyrie would be a blast to enjoy, Alonso describes his Aston Martin DBX 707 as his “dream car.” For those who just hate crossovers with a passion, that’s likely beyond shocking. But think about this: the “grocery getter” can do 0-62 in just 3.3 seconds, thanks in no small part to the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. We bet your mom didn’t haul you around in something nearly has cool.

It really shouldn’t be shocking Alonso owns the Ferrari 599 edition named after him. Only 40 of these special editions were made for 2012 as a way to commemorate 60 years of Ferrari winning in F1 racing.
