It’s no secret that the fruits of labor in soccer frequently result in a cerebral lifestyle for players. Erling Haaland is no exception. He is also reaping the benefits of his exceptional soccer prowess. In fact, just as fast as he is on the pitch, the striker is also keen to hit the fast lane on the roads. As per the reports, the Manchester City star is set to spend a whopping $3.4 million on a Mercedes sports car boasting not one but five F1 engines under the hood.

The Mercedes-AMG One will be the latest car to stand in front of Haaland’s porch. As per the Norwegian newspaper Dagens Naeringsliv, the City No. 9 has joined forces with his childhood friend and the founder of the HiTecVision investment firm, Ole Ertvaag, to purchase the German supercar. Both Haaland and Ertvaag hail from Norway’s Rogaland county.

They will be required to shell out a minimum of NOK 36 million or $3.4 million for the vehicle. Meanwhile, the base price stands at NOK 29 million or $2.7 million before VAT. Remarkably, this car is among the most exclusive in the world, as Mercedes plans to produce only 275 units.

Speaking of ergonomics, the beast produces 1,000 horsepower and has a top speed of 219 mph or 352 kmh. The supercar goes from 0 to 124 mph or 0-200 kmh in just 7 seconds and can reach 186mph or 300 kmh in 15.6 seconds. Notably, Haaland’s garage already boasts luxury cars. Earlier, the 23YO owned a Mercedes AMG GLE coupe, which came at a price tag of $114,000. Later, he invested in a $380,000 Rolls Royce Cullinan SUV.

Additionally, he possesses an Audi RS6 Avant and a Range Rover Sport, valued at $152,000 each. Notably, this is not the only splurge he has made till now.
