If you had any doubts about the preferences of English Premiership footballers in terms of cars, this list will make things a lot clearer.
Oracle Finance listed the most popular cars owned by soccer players from England’s top division and reached the unsurprising conclusion that the Range Rover is their No. 1 choice.
Since a large number of Premiership players fund their cars using Oracle Finance’s services, the luxury finance broker had a unique insight into the buying habits of the richest sports stars.
“We looked back at our records over the last five years to come up with this list and weren’t surprised the Range Rover was top,” said Oracle Finance managing director Peter Brook.
“We can’t reveal which footballers use our services because of client confidentiality, but we work with some of the biggest names in the footballing world and have helped hundreds of players, managers and agents fund their dream cars over the years,” he added.
Here’s the top 10 list:
1 Range Rover 28
2 Bentley Continental GT 26
3 Range Rover Sport 24
4 Audi Q7 21
5 BMW X5 18
6 Porsche Cayenne 16
7 Lamborghini Gallardo 13
8 Ferrari 458 8
9 Maserati GranTurismo 4
10 Aston Martin DB9 3
Spot a pattern here? Most of the vehicles listed here are SUVs with the rest being sports cars. “What’s clear from our list is that SUVs are very popular. Our football clients like their cars to be luxurious with high-up driving positions, which is why they prefer 4x4s to out-and-out supercars. Few cars offer all that like a full-fat Range Rover,” Brook explained.
