Fernando Alonso<\/a> has been spotted once again showing off another car from his jaw-dropping collection in Monaco.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The two-time Formula 1 champion was seen around the streets of Monte Carlo behind the wheel of a rare Porsche 918\u00a0Spyder.<\/p>\n

The 918 Spyder, launched in 2013, is a mid-engine plug-in hybrid powered by a 4.6-litre V8 engine that produces 599 horsepower, supplemented by twin electric motors generating an additional 282 horsepower.<\/p>\n

Only 918 were ever produced, and it was also the first production road car to break the seven-minute barrier around the N\u00fcrburgring. Current estimates value the machinery between \u20ac1.8 million and \u20ac3 million.<\/p>\n

“This guy has the Gran Turismo garage in Monaco,” one fan commented on X, while another reacted: “I wish for all car enthusiasts to be able to afford a 918\u2014the rest is trivial!”<\/p>\n

“That car is something… love it!” someone else posted, and another wrote: “I’m curious how many garages he rents out for the whole collection fleet he’s got. What a f***ing legend.”<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 918 Spyder joins an incredible line-up of cars in the Spaniard’s garage. Other cars featured in his collection reportedly include the other two thirds of the Holy Trinity: a\u00a0McLaren<\/a> P1 and a LaFerrari, as well as a one-of-one\u00a0Pagani Zonda 760 and a Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Strassenversion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, the Aston Martin F1 driver also owns several cars from the British marque, including a bespoke Valkyrie, a Valiant, a\u00a0DBX 707 and a DBX S.<\/p>\n

Alonso’s appearance comes as Monte Carlo prepares for the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix, with the trackside boarding already seen around the principality.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Silverstone outfit has suffered a torrid start to the 2026 F1 season. Alonso currently sits 22nd in the drivers’ standings with no points, directly behind his team-mate Lance Stroll<\/a> in 21st on the same amount of points.<\/p>\n

The Monaco Grand Prix will take place in Monte Carlo from 5-7 June.<\/p>\n
