CRISTIANO RONALDO was mobbed by fans as he drove his mega-rare £8.8million Bugatti through Madrid.

Ronaldo, 38, and just NINE other people in the world own one of the luxury French brand's most exclusive cars.

The Al-Nassr forward managed to get his hands on the Bugatti Centodieci.

But he was not able to make the full use of the 1,600 horsepower machine that maxes out at 240mph... due to the swarms of supporters surrounding the car.

Video footage shows the five-time Ballon d'Or winner in a white t-shirt, white trousers and a dark blazer climbing into the driver's seat of the white supercar, protected by a bodyguard.

The fans desperately tried to get selfies with the footballing icon as some chanted his name.

Ronaldo then turned on the motor and gently rolled away with barely a noise from the massive eight-litre W16 engine.

This was the first time Ronaldo was spotted publicly driving the car he bought last year.

The Centodiece - Italian for 110 - was built as part of the 110th anniversary of Bugatti.

Ronaldo, as a loyal customer, managed to land himself No7 in the ten-car series - matching the number he has been synonymous with during his career - and his model has a Portuguese registration.

The former Manchester United man also owns a Bugatti Chiron and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse as part of his stunning car collection which also features Aston Martins, Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Rolls Royces.

However, he did not manage to add Bugatti's most expensive and prestigious car of all.

The one-of-a-kind Bugatti Voiture Noire cost a staggering £9.69m up front before taxes, making it the world's priciest car when it was created in 2019.

However, despite false reports at the time suggesting Ronaldo did get it, the Voiture Noire actually went to the family of former Volkswagen Group chairman Ferdinand Piech.
