Next week, Diego Maradona's car, a BMW i8, will be auctioned in the United Arab Emirates. This unique model, produced in only 20,000 units, was purchased by Maradona in 2015, during the time he lived in the Emirates. The car has a low usage history, with only 21,690 kilometers on the clock and originally cost over 136,000 dollars. The auction will start at 51,000 dollars, and Maradona's name could attract considerable bids.
The BMW i8 is a plug-in hybrid coupe, featuring a 1.5-liter turbo engine and an electric motor, developing a combined 262 HP. The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds and comes with premium features such as leather seats, a Harman Kardon audio system, and LED ambient lighting. The inspection report shows that the vehicle is in good condition, with brake pads at 80% and only requires minor battery maintenance.
