In Turin everyone is already crazy about Douglas Luiz. The new addition to Thiago Motta’s team will reinforce the midfield in a season of rebirth. Having secured the Champions League pass under the orders of Massimiliano Allegri, the time has come for the Old Lady to look ahead. The 50 million euros offered to Aston Villa were enough to persuade the English club to let him go. Observers describe him as an “all-rounder”: his propensity for running, supported by two “iron lungs”, allow him to reach every ball. In perfect keeping with Brazilian tradition, he also has good ball possession.
Irrepressible personality
Despite his fairly young age (he turned 26 last May 9th) he also has personality, demonstrated both on the pitch, with his verticalization, and off it. How? Through a very high profile car fleet. Apparently, he doesn’t like to go unnoticed on the road. His former fans have often seen him driving around in high-performance cars around Birmingham. Soon, Madama’s supporters will admire him and will have something to feast their eyes on, that’s for sure. Not just for his partner, the sexy footballer Alisha Lehmann, a very popular footballer.
Since beauty has to be paid for, and the lucky owner has no cash flow problems at all, Douglas Luiz’s cars are really expensive, six-figure cars. Let’s start from the bottom, with the Porsche Cayenne for 103,000 euros, which is emblematic of the high standard of living of the native of Rio de Janeiro. Singing its praises is almost superfluous, given the vast fame of the car from Zuffenhausen, loved everywhere, including Italy. The Sporty SUV conceals under the hood a 2.9-liter six-cylinder engine, capable of unleashing 440 hp. The rear-wheel steering system ensures excellent dynamic performance, depending on the selected driving mode. The advanced ADAS systems include steering and cornering assistance, as well as the refined Porsche InnoDrive as part of the adaptive cruise control.
The True Meaning of Luxury
Let’s raise the bar and focus on Douglas Luiz’s second car: the luxurious €194,000 Mercedes G-Class AMG. One of the most valuable offerings in the off-road segment, it is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 enginecapable of delivering 585 HP. On board it implements a series of innovative technologies, including numerous ADAS, a 360-degree camera system and a “Transparent Hood” function, so that the driver can see “through the hood” using a 360-degree camera.
Finally, the third jewel of the carioca champion is the Lamborghini Huracan, which, in the version in possession, the Bull has put on the market at 242,000 euros. The revised look aims to optimize aerodynamics and fully express the feeling of fun behind the wheel, in the tradition of the Sant’Agata Bolognese brand. In relation to the driving mode set among the three available (Strada, Sport and Corsa), the characteristics of the steering change. The “beating heart”, internal combustion, is a 5.2-liter ten-cylinder with 640 hpan icon in the sports genre.
