Ronnie O'Sullivan: Sporting Legend and Car Enthusiast
Ronnie O'Sullivan, the snooker legend known as 'Rocket' Ronnie, is not just a master on the baize but also has a passion for cars. While he has a collection of high-end vehicles, his favorite is a surprising choice.
The Audi RS4 Avant: A Family Saloon with Thrill
Despite owning a £180k Ferrari and a £183k Bentley, Ronnie's go-to car is a £70k Audi RS4 Avant. He affectionately calls it the "best car I've ever had" and loves the thrill it gives him on the road.
Other Gems in Ronnie's Garage
Ronnie's car collection is diverse, ranging from luxury brands to sporty models. Let's take a look at some of the notable cars he's owned.
Ferrari 458: Flashy, But Not for Ronnie
The £183,000 Ferrari 458, a favorite among footballers, wasn't Ronnie's cup of tea. He disliked the attention it brought and preferred his more understated Audi RS4 Avant.

Bentley Continental GT: Luxury Interiors, No Connection
Despite having two £180,000 Bentley Continental GTs in his collection, Ronnie couldn't relate to them. The plush interiors and top speed of 210 mph didn't win him over.
BMW M5 and M3: Reckless Years on the Road
During his more reckless days, Ronnie had a few BMWs, including the £111,000 M5 and the £82,000 M3. However, he eventually got rid of them, admitting that he's calmed down and prefers the track for speed.
Porsche 911: The Supercar of Choice
If Ronnie had to choose a supercar, it would be the iconic Porsche 911. Known for its fun and resale value, the latest models start at £97,000.
Aston Martin DB9: Disappointment for Ronnie
While the Aston Martin DB9 might have been a hit as James Bond's car, Ronnie found it to be a disappointment. The hefty £130,000 price tag didn't match the quality he expected.

Mercedes 500SL: Classy and Enjoyable
Ronnie enjoyed his £74,000 Mercedes 500SL for a few years before upgrading to the AMG version. However, he admitted that the AMG was a bit too wild for his liking.
Audi R8: A Scary Crash, But Still Loved
In 2014, Ronnie had a terrifying crash in his £131,000 Audi R8 while driving with his son. Despite the scare, he still had love for the car, calling it one of his favorites.
Whether it's a family saloon or a flashy supercar, Ronnie O'Sullivan's car collection reflects his diverse taste. From the thrill of the Audi RS4 Avant to the disappointment of the Aston Martin DB9, each car holds a story in Ronnie's treasure trove of vehicles.
