Fernando Alonso is one of the most decorated F1 drivers of all time, and it says a lot about his talent that people say he has ‘only’ won two World Championships to date.
While not known as a prolific car collector, he has now taken delivery of his most expensive purchase yet to his collection after moving to Team Silverstone in 2023. He sold his Ferrari Enzo at auction for a whopping €5.4million [£4.6m] in June 2023, but let’s take a look at the cars Alonso currently owns or is widely reported to have owned in years gone by.
Fernando Alonso car collection: What does the two-time World Champion own?
Aston Martin Valkyrie
Designed by Adrian Newey to bring Formula 1 technology to the road while Aston Martin were title partners with Red Bull, Alonso finally took delivery of his version of the Valkyrie in September 2024, with a few personalised tweaks.
Retailing at $3.5million [£3million] for the pleasure, the Valkyrie boasts a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12, combining with an electric motor that produces a whopping 1,155bhp – 1,000 of which coming from the V12, which is the most powerful naturally aspirated engine ever created for a road car, with a 0-60mph time of under 2.5 seconds to boot.
The Valkyrie is being produced for the track as a Hypercar in the World Endurance Championship and IMSA from 2025, but Alonso’s own version has a bespoke ‘CAUTION HOT’ graphic on the back, ‘Satin Aston Martin Racing Green’ paint and one final flourish, a red anodised aluminium accelerator pedal with Alonso’s race number, ’14’, etched into it.

But even as an Aston Martin driver, he did not get any special treatment over the price, however.
He told GQ in November 2023: “I’d hoped for an employee discount! That was my wish – and I took it for granted, probably.
“I went through the specification with them – green with a touch of lime, to look like my F1 car – and then looked to see what the discount was. There was no discount! By then it was too late.
“It’ll attract some eyes, this car. I will not be able to go incognito.”
Only 150 of these models will ever be created, each of which taking 2,000 working hours to create.
Aston Martin DBX 707
His day-to-day company car from Aston Martin after trading in his Alpine A110, Alonso is known to love driving the Aston Martin SUV when he is able to do so.
Far from a slow runaround, however, the DBX 707 can get from 0-100kph [0-62mph] in just 3.3 seconds, with a 4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 capable of 697bhp underneath the bonnet, with the car retailing for approximately £200,000.
Alonso posted a photo on his Instagram story of his model in February 2024, in British Racing Green, naturally.

McLaren P1
Owning one of only 375 McLaren P1 cars ever made, Alonso’s version had been among the most expensive in his collection until he confirmed he was buying a Valkyrie, with the P1 coming in at around £900,000 to buy from new.
Widely seen as the successor to the legendary McLaren F1, Alonso was pictured next to a papaya-coloured P1 that features a 3.8L twin-turbocharged V8 and an electric motor that can propel it to speeds up to 217mph.
Porsche 918 Spyder
Another rare car in Alonso’s collection, just 918 versions of the Porsche 918 Spyder were produced – with the 4.6-litre V8 engine capable of 875bhp.
Prices started at £780,000 when the car was new, but used versions are now being priced online at up to double the price given their rarity and value.
LaFerrari
One of Alonso’s remaining Ferrari collection, the LaFerrari Alonso owns is bedecked in black with red trim, and amateur footage from 2022 captured the two-time World Champion getting into his car in Monaco.
Known as one of the most luxurious cars Ferrari has ever produced, the car initially retailed at £1,150,000 but auctions of some models since have seen their value increase significantly.
Even its name, LaFerrari, simply ‘The Ferrari’ in English, was given as such because Ferrari saw the car as the definitive version of what a Ferrari could be at the time.
Ferrari 599 GTB Alonso Edition
Produced while Alonso was a Ferrari driver, the 599 GTB Alonso Edition is a 2012 special edition model of one of the brand’s sports models of the time, of which only 40 of the Alonso Edition were made.
Featuring a 6-litre V12 capable of 612bhp, the car features both a manual and automatic gearbox along with a red paint job and white trim, with the idea behind the car to commemorate 60 years of victories in Formula 1.
Maserati GranCabrio
A luxury four-seater convertible that has been produced by Maserati for well over a decade, Alonso is widely reported to own one and is his likely go-to when having multiple passengers to ferry around.
The Sport version of the car features a 4.7L V8 with a price tag starting at around $250,000.
