Belgium international Courtois already owns a fleet of supercars, including a Lamborghini Urus, Ferrari Roma and Mercedes AMG G63.

The Real Madrid star also set up Formula 4 team TC Racing last year to compete at events in Spain.

Two-time Premier League winner Courtois has now forked out £342,234 on a Porsche 992 GT3 RS.

He took delivery earlier this month after waiting TWO YEARS for it to be built to his specification.

The "basic" model cost £212,000 - but the keeper spent a further £137,000 on optional extras.

Courtois impressed his Real Madrid team-mates at training recently after rolling up in the champagne gold-painted beast.

It has a top speed of 198mph and can go from 0-60mph in 3.14 seconds.

The keeper had it delivered to his Spanish home from Belgian dealership Porsche Centre Brussels.

The motor even has Courtois' signature painted on a door sill.

Car website KRN Speed raved: "This is more delicious than Belgian chocolate.

"Courtois has owned some pretty amazing cars over the years, but never something extraordinary like a specially commissioned 3 RS."

Courtois won the FA Cup and League Cup with Chelsea as well as Premier League titles in 2015 and 2017.
