Aleix Espargaró is not only a MotoGP rider but also an enthusiast of cars, having previously owned models from manufacturers like Ferrari or Lamborghini. Now, he has fulfilled one of his dreams: owning a classic Porsche. He acquired a 993 Turbo.
The Aprilia rider shared the story behind this car on social media: ‘My dream was always to win a MotoGP race, when I signed for Suzuki, I wanted to buy the car of my dreams, a 993 Turbo, then my wife Laura told me that something so special didn’t make sense at that time, she suggested that I buy it when I won my first race. During all those years I came to doubt if I would get it…’.
Espargaró did achieve his first win at last year’s Argentine GP, and that set the plan in motion to buy the Porsche 993 Turbo he had dreamed of. The car, whose images were shared by the rider, was customized inside and out – including the license plate with the word «DREAM». Some highlights include carbon fiber, a metal plate alluding to the car and its victory in Argentina, and classic sporty rims.
