da bwin: The Brazilian starboy mostly drives cars gifted to him by Real Madrid.
da wazamba: Vini Jr.'s rise to the top of world football has been a meteoric one. The Real Madrid superstar overcame his struggles in the Spanish capital during his first three years to become the most important part of Los Blancos' offensive machine over the last two seasons.
In the past two seasons, Vini has had 86 goal contributions (45 goals and 41 assists), helping Real Madrid win all six possible trophies, scoring the only goal in the 2021-22 UEFA Champions League Final against Liverpool.
As a result of his consistent performances, the 23-year-old is set to be awarded a bumper contract with a pay rise that will see him become one of the highest-earning players in the Real Madrid squad.
Although he is currently one of the five lowest-paid players on the roster, it hasn't stopped the blistering Brazilian from having an awesome car collection.
GOAL takes a look at which vehicles Real Madrid's new #7 owns.
BMW i4 M50 | €80,000 / $87,782 / £69,010
The BMW i4 M50 is the first fully-electric top-of-the-range car that the company presents. Real Madrid have partnered with BMW to provide cars of their choice to all the first-team players, the staff, and the coach, with Vini opting for the M50. With a maximum horsepower of 536, the BMW i4 M50 can reach from 0-60 mph (100 kmph) in just 3.7 seconds and offers a top speed of 210 kmph (130 mph).

Thanks to Real Madrid's former association with Audi, who were the team's car sponsors for 18 years before they switched to BMW, Vini owns a couple of high-end Audis, one of them being the Audi A7 Sportback 50 TDI quattro. Valued at €81,000 ($88,910 / £69,907), this particular sedan type blends a sporty Audi's outstanding performance with a distinctive look. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph (62 mph) in less than six seconds and features a 335 horsepower V6 engine. Additionally, the inside is quite dazzling and includes some of Audi's renowned opulent features.
Audi Q8 50 TDI quattro | €88,000 / $97,100 / £75,966
The Audi Q8 50 TDI Quattro, yet again, is a car that Vni Jr. owns due to Real Madrid's former association with Audi. More of an SUV, Vini's Q8 is more of an SUV. It takes just 7.1 seconds for the car to reach speeds of 100 kmph (62 mph), a testament to its stunning 3.0 TDI engine which has 286 hp. Its top speed is 233 kmph (145 mph).
Audi e-tron Sportback 55 quattro | €99,000 / $109,103 / £85,462
The final car in Vini Jr's collection is the Audi e-tron Sportback 55 Quattro, which is the fastest car in Vini's garage. Many would argue that because it has a 402 horsepower engine, an SUV-like appearance, a conventional grille, and LED headlights, it is superior to the Audi A7. One of the newest electric vehicles actually makes the concept seem desirable because it is strong, quick, and can charge to 80% in 30 minutes. With a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph), the car accelerates from 0 to 100 kph (62 mph) in approximately 4 seconds. It wouldn't be far-fetched to say that this ride is perhaps Vini Jr.'s favourite due to its ability to clock 100 kmph in just 4 seconds, resembling the player's sheer pace and acceleration.
