CR7 RONALDO ORIGINAL PORSCHE CAYENNE TURBO S

Cristiano Ronaldo’s First Luxury Sports SUV – A Symbol of His Manchester United Beginnings (2003–2004)

Historical Overview

I am the proud owner of the first-ever luxury sports vehicle personally owned by Cristiano Ronaldo, purchased shortly after he signed for Manchester United in 2003. This remarkable car represents an iconic piece of both football and automotive history, marking the early stages of Ronaldo’s journey to global stardom.

This Cayenne Turbo was one of the most revolutionary luxury SUVs of its time, representing power, class, and status — perfectly reflecting the young Ronaldo’s emerging persona at Manchester United.

Background Story

When Cristiano Ronaldo arrived in Manchester in 2003, he began driving modest vehicles, including a small Audi A3 and a BMW. However, his ambition and taste for excellence soon led him to purchase this Porsche Cayenne Turbo — his first truly luxurious sports SUV.

This car symbolised his first major success, his growing confidence, and his emerging identity as one of the world’s most talented and driven footballers. Ronaldo personally upgraded and customised the vehicle to his taste, making it uniquely his own.

Interestingly, Ronaldo’s mother has often expressed her affection for the Porsche Cayenne, adding another sentimental layer to this car’s significance in his family’s history.

Condition & Viewing

The vehicle remains in excellent, well-preserved condition, having been carefully maintained by previous owners and myself.

All supporting documents, videos, photographs, and proof of provenance can be provided upon request.

Viewings — including live video calls — are welcome.

Significance

This car represents far more than an exceptional vehicle — it stands as a symbol of Cristiano Ronaldo’s early triumphs, his rise from a young player in Manchester to a global sporting icon. Just as we never forget our first important experiences — our first friend, our first victory, our first car — this Cayenne remains a timeless link to Ronaldo’s formative years.
