football career of Fernando Torres It was littered with achievements and accolades, but many imagined the Spaniard could have achieved more, after a surprising start at Atletico Madrid and Liverpool. “El Niño” was not enough to win the Ballon d’Or, but he managed to bring joy to his people and build a very interesting fleet of cars.
Torres ended his football career in 2019, after a brief stint at Sagan Tosu in Japan. His 16 years as a professional allowed him to build a huge fleet of cars, one of his passions. Surprisingly, there is one that was acquired in 2007 and it is impossible for it to go unnoticed if it is seen together with the other vehicles in the Spanish. At Tork we refer to the famous Mini Cooper.
It is a small car, barely over 4 meters long and 1.7 meters wide. Inside, the digital controls stand out, such as the screen in charge of the infotainment system that can go from 6.5 to 8.8 inches. As for its performance, it has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 178 hp and 280 Nm of torque.
The price of the Mini is 40,000 dollars, a small value if we contextualize it with the salaries that “El Niño” had throughout his career. Although it is a rare car in the world of football, the Spaniard is not alone in this choice, since Pep Guardiola and N’Golo Kanté were seen on several occasions aboard the Mini Cooper.
Fernando Torres’ Mini Cooper is already a thing of the past. Throughout his time as a footballer, the Spaniard was in charge of acquiring highly coveted models, which changed to the humble car. Some of the models that he usually drives are: Ferrari FF, GTA Spano Audi Q7 and Aston Martin DBS. To focus on the latter, its value is $302,000.
