It is hard to keep Conor McGregor out of the grid for too long. He has a fun personality and always finds himself in the news for one reason or another. McGregor might have never been the best fighter in the world at any point in his career but he has plenty of admirers thanks to his antics outside the ring.
A man of many talents, Conor is an ace in boxing, mixed martial arts, taekwondo, karate, and plenty of other sports. He's also a massive automobile lover, just like his arch-nemesis, Manny Pacquiao, and various other celebs. The superstar athlete reportedly houses cars worth over $2.5 million in his garage.
Conor McGregor is often spotted spinning around in his luxury vehicles. Let's have a look at some of the cars that the sports star drives.
Lamborghini Aventador
Conor's Lamborghini Aventador is a masterpiece. This supercar combines the tradition of the Lamborghini brand with a level of innovation that takes the House of the Raging Bull to hitherto unexplored territory. At the heart of this beast is the V12 engine, hand-built in Sant'Agata Bolognese. The engine is naturally balanced and longitudinally mounted in a central position. The powerful engine's performance is further aided by this beast's excellent acceleration capability.
The Aventador glides like butter when you take it for a spin and boasts a top speed of 220 miles per hour. It is capable of going from 0 to 62 miles per hour in just 2.9 seconds. This monster's design expresses dynamism and aggression. It is a result of the hard work put in by Lamborghini's R&D team. The result is a car that offers a truly unforgettable driving experience. The interiors are made of materials of the highest quality, assembled using traditional techniques by a team of professionals. The display system will remind you of a modern aircraft. The instruments are displayed on an innovative, interactive TFT LCD display. There is a secondary TFT display - located at the center of the instrument panel - to display multimedia and navigation functions.
McGregor snapped up this Aventador for $260,000. Nicknamed ''The Mutant'', it is one of the three Lamborghini that he owns.
BMW i8
The BMW i8 is an example of excellence and brilliance that moves you. Despite the unfulfilled potential, it is a stunning-looking car that turns some serious heads when it takes on the streets; making it an apt pick for the star wrestler. With precise lines and sweeping silhouettes; scissor doors and streamflow design; the BMW i8 perfectly captures the emotion of motion. At the heart of this stylish beast is a 1.5-liter TwinPower Turbo engine. The powerful engine combines well with the vehicle's motor to deliver a combined output of 369 hp. Speaking of body balance, the placement of the motor, engine, and lithium-ion batteries in the center tunnel gives the BMW i8 a lower center of gravity - and near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution. The i8's carbon fiber construction provides rigidity and an improved aerodynamic experience. The BMW i8 features multiple intelligent drive modes: Sport Mode, Comfort Mode, and Eco-Pro Mode. You can customize your drive to match your mood. You're in complete control of your journey thanks to BMW's iDrive system and a standard 8.8-inch touchscreen display. This beast's interiors are impressive and engaging. The BMW i8 features heated front seats, upholstered with leather, and environmentally conscious materials that perfectly complement the standard Carbon Fiber Interior Trim.
McGregor's i8 boasts a top speed of 250kmph and can go from o to 100kmph in just 4.4 seconds. Great choice, Mr. McGregor.
McLaren 650S
McGregor's next is a modern-day McLaren beauty. Launched in Feb 2014 and formally unveiled at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, this British sports car is among the most impressive vehicles launched last decade. The 650 in this McLaren beasts' name reportedly refers to the engine's power output in Pferdestärke, the European standard for horsepower while the S stands for Sport. The McLaren 650S is an evolution of the preceding 12C. Though the powertrain of the 650S is largely carried over by the 12C, it features some major upgrades that involve new pistons, better-flowing cylinder heads, new exhaust valves, and recalibrated camshaft timing. At the heart of this beast is the 3.8-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine and produces 641 hp. This powerful engine works in tandem with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic to deliver terrific performance. The McLaren 650S works like a treat once it starts, ready to take on any street in the world. This beast is strong and sturdy and it will be hard for any kind of bumps or corrugations to slow you down. If you fancy a bit more fun, you can switch to Track mode. Once you switch to Track mode, the body control is even tighter. At its best, it can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just about 3 seconds. The supercar is indeed very special and we aren't surprised Conor is a big fan of this McLaren beaut.
