David Beckham has a multi-million-pound car collection at his fingertips but nothing is quite as spectacular as his “favourite” Maserati.
The stunning MC20 supercar was custom-designed for the football icon and is thought to be worth a staggering £220,000.
The former Manchester United and England midfielder has two of the jaw-dropping machines but admits his bespoke model was his absolute “favourite”.
Maserati has dubbed the MC20 as “the ultimate super sports car” and it’s clear to see why.
Contoured bodywork is easy on the eye but what’s underneath certainly packs a punch with a twin-turbocharged 3-litre V6 engine producing over 620 horsepower.
This gives the MC20 a jaw-dropping top speed of 201mph while the vehicle can reach 0-60mph in just under three seconds.
Previously speaking to British GQ, David said: “The MC20 is in Miami. I’ve got one in London, too. It’s a fabulous car.
“I did the Fuoriserie programme with Klaus, and went from a car in deep purple to slightly pink, then I went to straight black, with pink trim and pink brake calipers. That’s my favourite.
“The London car is gunmetal grey. I’m trying to get Victoria to drive it at the moment, but I’m not having much luck. It’s a bit low, but otherwise it’s pretty easy to drive. On a track it’s unbelievable.”
David was given the chance to create his own customised MC20 through the Maserati Fuoriserie programme.
The final product features a cross of glossy and matte surfaces within a black and pink colour scheme throughout. Inside, David has opted for black Alcantara seats with pink stitching.
A personalised number plate, ‘DBMC20’ has also been attacked while the words ‘For David’ also pencilled in.
After the car had been constructed, David got his first taste on a racetrack in Modena alongside a professional racing driver instructor.
However, his first trip on the open roads was on the coastline from Modena to La Spezia. David admitted the car “gets a lot of attention” with “everyone in awe” of the stunning model.
But, he was thrilled with the design and has previously revealed how much he loved building the car from the ground up.
He added: “When I visited the Maserati factory in Modena I met a guy called Klaus [Busse, design director], amazing guy, he talked me through the whole process, we discussed what would look great and what wouldn’t.
“Sitting with him for a couple of hours configuring my MC20 was so enjoyable. In fact, I didn’t let on to anyone else just how enjoyable it was in case they stuck me back in there for another few hours.”
