Audi gives Real Madrid football team a new car, each

Brett Davis

As if European top-league football players need donations, Audi, Real Madrid’s main sponsor, has just given the whole team a nice new Audi each. The company has a habit of donating cars to the team every year.

Audi RS 6 Cristiano Ronaldo

Most of the team received an Audi Q7 3.0 TDI, which features a 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 producing 180kW and 550Nm. In Australia it’s priced from $90,500.

Perhaps the star of the team, Cristiano Ronaldo, was handed the best car of them all; a spanking new RS 6 Avant. The RS 6 comes with a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 producing 412kW and 700Nm. It’s priced from $225,000 in Australia.

Meanwhile, the team’s coach, Carlo Ancelotti, went home with an Audi A8 4.2 TDI. The new model comes with a V8 turbo-diesel producing 283kW and a massive 850Nm.

Audi has been known to show its presence within the sport in really obvious and flamboyant ways. This certainly fits in line with the marketing campaign.
