David Beckham's 'favourite' £220,000 supercar is one of only two in the world
David Beckham has a supercar collection to die for but it's one of his bespoke Maserati MC20s that is his pride and joy, with the former England captain's personalised model
David Beckham boasts an enviable multi-million-pound car collection, but one vehicle stands out as his absolute "favourite" - a bespoke Maserati MC20 supercar. This stunning machine, tailored specifically for the football legend, comes with a hefty price tag of £220,000.
The former Manchester United and England midfielder - who turns 50 today - has not one, but two of these jaw-dropping cars in his possession, with the custom-designed model holding a special place in his heart. Maserati proudly describes the MC20 as "the ultimate super sports car", and a glance at its sleek, contoured bodywork makes it easy to see why.
However, it's what lies beneath the surface that truly sets the MC20 apart. A twin-turbocharged 3-litre V6 engine churns out an impressive 620 horsepower, propelling the vehicle to a mind-boggling top speed of 201mph.
Acceleration is equally impressive, with the MC20 reaching 0-60mph in a mere three seconds, reports the Express.
In a previous conversation with British GQ, David gushed about his beloved MC20, saying: "The MC20 is in Miami. I've got one in London, too. It's a fabulous car."
He went on to describe the bespoke design process, revealing: "I did the Fuoriserie programme with Klaus, and went from a car in deep purple to slightly pink, then I went to straight black, with pink trim and pink brake calipers. That's my favourite."
David's second MC20, located in London, sports a sleek gunmetal grey finish. He's currently trying to persuade his wife Victoria to take it for a spin, but so far, he's had little success.
"The London car is gunmetal grey. I'm trying to get Victoria to drive it at the moment, but I'm not having much luck. It's a bit low, but otherwise it's pretty easy to drive. On a track it's unbelievable."
He assured: "The London car is gunmetal grey. I'm trying to get Victoria to drive it at the moment, but I'm not having much luck. It's a bit low, but otherwise it's pretty easy to drive. On a track it's unbelievable."
The bespoke MC20 was made possible through Maserati's exclusive Fuoriserie programme, which allowed David to put his own unique spin on the supercar's design.
The final product features a cross of glossy and matte surfaces within a black and pink colour scheme throughout. Inside, David has opted for black Alcantara seats with pink stitching.
A personalised number plate, 'DBMC20' has also been attached while the words 'For David' also pencilled in. After the car had been put together, David got his first taste on a racetrack in Modena alongside a professional racing driver instructor.
However, his first journey on public roads was along the coast from Modena to La Spezia. David confessed the car "gets a lot of attention" with "everyone in awe" of the breathtaking model. But he's over the moon with the design and has previously shared how much he enjoyed building the car from scratch.
He added: "When I visited the Maserati factory in Modena I met a guy called Klaus [Busse, design director], amazing guy, he talked me through the whole process, we discussed what would look great and what wouldn't.
"Sitting with him for a couple of hours configuring my MC20 was so enjoyable. In fact, I didn't let on to anyone else just how enjoyable it was in case they stuck me back in there for another few hours."

The 51-year-old former pop star is no longer in plans for the band's 30th anniversary, it's claimed beck to rivals Victoria Beckham in 'new feud' after Brooklyn drama as Geri cuts her out of Spice Girls 'reunion' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) VICTORIA Beckham has reportedly been cut out of the Spice Girls 'reunion'.

Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 2 The Spice Girls are set to celebrate their 30th anniversary next year Credit: Getty 2 Victoria Beckham has allegedly been left out of planning Credit: Getty It's after Geri Halliwell-Horner said she wasn't interested in going on tour when their old manager Simon Fuller began talks about marking the group's 30th anniversary. Now a source tells The Mail's Alison Boshoff that Victoria will not be part of the virtual. line-up, adding: "Simon Fuller planning a tour has caused yet another schism. Victoria is f****d off that they have gone with him and there is no way that she will be a part of it. "The bad feeling seems to go back to her and David having to spend millions on buying him out of Beckham Brand Holdings. "He still has a stake and board seat on her fashion business. There is resentment there. "But Simon Fuller is the only person who could get Geri to rejoin the Spice Girls. "He is also the one person in the world who could never persuade Victoria." It follows a tricky time for Victoria and her family amid a rift with eldest son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz. Her husband David celebrated his 50th last month with a string of parties, though Brooklyn stayed away. Brooklyn's siblings Romeo, Cruz and Harper all turned out to party with their dad, mum, and A-list names like Tom Cruise and Guy Ritchie. Meanwhile, the eldest Beckham child and his wife were nowhere to be seen.

Meet the 80-year-old granny battling billionaires with her Derby ‘superstar' tinged with sadness
Victory in the world's most famous Flat race would be 26 years in the making VIP OAP Meet the 80-year-old granny battling billionaires with her Derby 'superstar' tinged with sadness Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHE is the 80-year-old granny battling the billionaires with her Derby 'superstar'. In what has been billed as the ultimate David vs Goliath showdown, this 'proud Yorkshirewoman' with just six horses is daring to dream in the world's most prestigious race. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Vimy Aykroyd, second from right, is the 80-year-old gran taking on the billionaires with her Derby 'superstar' Pride Of Arras Credit: Steven Cargill / 3 Victory in the Derby would be a dream come true, although tinged with sadness as Vimy's husband David is in care with dementia and is unaware the horse is running in the world's most famous Flat race Credit: PA Meet Vimy Aykroyd, racing royalty, rebel and the owner of 5-1 chance Pride Of Arras. At stake is the small matter of £900,000 for victory, a place in history and a lucrative, money-spinning career at stud for their three-year-old colt. But also the realisation of a dream that started 26 years ago when Vimy first sent horses to trainer Ralph Beckett. Their families are intertwined, with Vimy having spent time with the Becketts growing up. When Ralph, son of trainer William, started his own yard in 1999, Vimy - Lavinia for full - was one of the first to send him horses. In the years since Beckett has pretty much done it all. Millions upon millions in prize money, Arc de Triomphe victory with Bluestocking last year, Group 1s galore and Royal Ascot success. But he's never won the Derby. Over the past decade, the 1m4f race over the undulating, rolling Epsom track has been a happy hunting ground for the billionaire tycoons who dominate the sport. Since 2017 it has been won by either Ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed - under his Godolphin operation - or the all-conquering Coolmore group, made up of Irish racing boss John Magnier and British former bookies Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith. Only in 2017, with Desert Crown, did it go to someone else - Dubai businessman Saeed Suhail. In fact, you have to go to diamond dealer Anthony Oppenheimer in 2015 for the last sole British owner to win the Derby, when he did it with Golden Horn. It's a tough gig when you're literally battling those with the financial might of an entire country behind them. But Vimy's more than used to overcoming adversity. 3 Sadly Vimy's husband David - her late husband's brother - seen here with Vimy in 2021, is now in a care home with dementia So can he win? Templegate's verdict By Steve Mullen (Templegate) PRIDE OF ARRAS absolutely can win the Derby. It may not have been a vintage Dante he won at York last time but Ralph Beckett's colt showed real class to get the job done. He really enjoyed stepping up to 1m2f and screams that he'll love the Derby distance too. There is lots of stamina in his pedigree but no shortage of speed either. It was good to see him accelerate once getting a gap on the Knavesmire and the Dante winning time was decent too. That was just his second run - and it came after nine months off - so you would expect a lot more from this talented colt. Beckett knows what it takes to win at the highest level and there is still some 5-1 about which looks an each-way bet to nothing. I would be surprised if he was outside the first three in the big race. Mischievous by nature, she wasn't always the best student and racing was in her blood given her grandad won the Grand National in 1891. When women were allowed to ride in Flat races for the first time in 1972 she naturally took part and won on a horse called Old Cock. Personal life took over when she moved to Spain with husband Richard Aykroyd - but he died from cancer in 1997. Vimy returned to London and then Yorkshire, where she married her late husband's brother David, who has been described as 'the epitome of the English gentleman'. Sadly, the Telegraph report that he is now in a care home with dementia and unaware their beloved horse is running in the world's most famous Flat race. Pride Of Arras was 50-1 for the Derby before he won the Dante at York - the key trial for the Epsom contest - last month. Beckett was bullish of his chances in the big one immediately after and there is no doubt he is the big British hope this year. A fairytale story, victory and overcoming odds? Sounds like Vimy Aykroyd all over.
