Fernando Alonso was photographed cruising the narrow avenues of Monte Carlo behind the wheel of a Porsche 918 Spyder, adding another headline‑making supercar to his already legendary garage.
Technical pedigree of the 918 Spyder
The 2013‑launched 918 Spyder is a mid‑engine plug‑in hybrid that pairs a 4.6‑litre V8 delivering 599 hp with two electric motors contributing an extra 282 hp, pushing total output past 880 hp. Only 918 units were produced, and it earned the distinction of being the first road‑legal car to lap the Nürburgring in under seven minutes. Current market estimates place the model between €1.8 million and €3 million.
Alonso’s broader hypercar collection
Beyond the Porsche, the Spaniard’s collection reportedly includes the remaining two “Holy Trinity” hypercars – a McLaren P1 and a LaFerrari – plus a singular Pagani Zonda 760 and a Mercedes‑Benz CLK GTR Strassenversion. His affinity for Aston Martin is evident through a bespoke Valkyrie, a Valiant, and the latest DBX 707 and DBX S SUVs.
Context ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix
The sighting comes as the principality readies its streets for the Monaco Grand Prix, scheduled for 5‑7 June. Despite the visual spectacle, Alonso’s Silverstone‑based team has endured a rough start to the 2026 Formula 1 season; he sits 22nd on zero points, just behind teammate Lance Stroll in 21st, both sharing an identical points tally.
