He enjoyed a storied career- winning the Premier League six times and a Champions League title in 2008.

Since hanging up his boots in 2015, after a stint at QPR, Rio has moved into punditry.

Often, he is seen alongside Laura Woods offering his analysis on the Premier League and Champions League for TNT Sports.

His work has seen him receive a steady income, which he has enjoyed splashing on some classy motors.

SunSport takes a look at what’s in Rio’s garage.

Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, from £225k

As a band ambassador for Aston Martin, Rio gets his pick of the bunch when it comes to their models.

And you don’t get much better than their sports car the DBS Superleggera.

It boasts a 5.2 litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine, providing a mind-boggling 715 hp.

It has a top speed of 211mph, and can also go from 0-60mph in just 3.4 seconds.

Audi A8, from £76k

The Audi A8 was another of Rio’s favourites as a player.

Boasting an acceleration of 0-62mph in just 4.9 seconds, it is one of the fastest sedans around.

It’s also proven to be a footballers’ staple through the years.

Famous petrolhead Mario Balotelli also was seen behind the wheel of one, recently crashing his.

When driving into Carrington, you often see United’s top stars doing so in a SUV.

For the bigger lads it provides that much comfortability and leg room.

Standing at 6ft2in, Rio went with a Porsche Cayenne after years of driving sports cars.

They don’t get any more classier than a Bentley.

Interestingly, it was the second most leased car by Premier League stars in 2019 behind the Range Rover Sport SVR.

It boasts luxury interiors, including comfortable leather seats.

Performance-wise, it has a top speed of 210 mph, and is UK-built with an efficient V12 engine.

An Audi is always a sensible choice of brand when buying a motor.

Reliability and performance are two things the German car giants boast, and the Q7 is as steady as it gets.

Several high-profile Barcelona stars used a Q7 to get to and from training until the Catalans’ sponsorship deal expired.

Again, it was perfect for Rio to ferry himself to training and back.

Another classy gentleman’s car, the XJ is another saloon car Rio flirted with.

It was another motor he scored thanks to an ambassadorial role with the English manufacturer.

The XJ is capable of 0-62mph in just 6.2 seconds.

While it can reach a top speed of 174mph.

Another favourite of Premier League’s elite, Eden Hazard swore of his Vanquish when he played for Chelsea.

While James Bond star Daniel Craig once owned a limited edition version, which was sold at an auction for £344,000.

The successor to the Vantage series, it’s capable of reaching 0-62 mph in just 3.5 seconds.

It featured in the Bond film Die Another Day too.
