India captain Virat Kohli is rewriting history books as a batsman and leader, scoring centuries at a furious pace across formats. He already has 35 centuries in ODIs, 21 tons in Tests, averages more than 50 in every format and has won 21 out of 35 Tests as captain.
His earnings reflect remarkable results on the field, with Kohli among the top 100 highest paid athletes in the world with an estimated annual earning of $22 million according to Forbes.
It should therefore come as no surprise that Kohli has an equally impressive collection of cars. Here’s a look at the cars that the Delhi batsman owns, which according to latest reports stands at nine. You will notice one brand dominating his garage.
LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO SPYDER
It is the best selling Lamborghini model in the world. Kohli calls this black beauty – originally orange but later wrapped – a beast. A V10 that produces 552bhp? We agree.
AUDI R8 LMX
Virat Kohli is Audi India’s brand ambassador and, therefore, owns a fleet of Audis. This limited edition R8 LMX comes with a 5.2-litre V10 engine and produces 570 bhp.
The Audi R8 limited edition.
AUDI R8 V10 PLUS
One of the most powerful sportscars by Audi. The R8 V10 is powered by a 5.2-litre V10 engine that delivers 610 bhp.
AUDI A8L W12 QUATTRO
The elegant one in Kohli’s collection. The A8L has a longer wheelbase than the regular A8 and is powered by a 6.3-litre engine that churns out 494 bhp.
Another fine Audi for Kohli.
AUDI S5
Another Audi in Kohli’s garage. He featured prominently in the promotion video for the Audi S5 coupe-styled sedan. Specs? A 3-litre V6 turbocharged engine, 349 bhp.
AUDI Q7
A premium SUV that sits perfectly in Kohli’s collection. Apparently one of his favourites. A 4.2-litre V8 with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
An upgrade for Kohli.
AUDI RS6 AVANT
The high performance station wagon version of the A6 sedan. Kohli has an Audi for almost every day of the week.
TOYOTA FORTUNER
The reliable Fortuner was presented to Kohli when he signed an endorsement deal with the Japanese manufacturer.
RENAULT DUSTER
The odd one out in Kohli’s garage. It was awarded to Kolhi for his man-of-the series effort during an ODI series in Sri Lanka in 2012.
