Fernando Alonso continues to attract attention in Monaco, not just for his Formula 1 career but also for his remarkable taste in road cars. The two-time world champion was spotted earlier this week driving his LaFerrari through the principality, adding to a recent string of high-profile appearances behind the wheel of rare performance machines.
The sighting follows a previous appearance around Christmas, when Alonso was seen driving an ultra-rare Mercedes-Benz CLK-GTR valued at approximately $11 million. While that car is considered one of the most valuable road-going machines in existence, the LaFerrari remains a significant highlight of his personal collection.
Alonso has owned the LaFerrari for some time, and although it does not carry the same market value as the CLK-GTR, it remains one of Ferrari’s most celebrated modern hypercars. His example is finished in Nero DS Opaco, a matte black exterior paired with red accents. The wheels are painted to match the body, while the brake calipers stand out in red, giving the car a subtle but aggressive visual presence.

Under the bodywork, the LaFerrari combines traditional and modern performance engineering. It is powered by a 6.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine that produces 789 horsepower on its own. An electric motor supplements the internal combustion engine, adding 161 horsepower. Together, the hybrid system delivers a combined output of 950 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque.
The performance figures place the LaFerrari among the fastest road cars ever produced. It is capable of accelerating from 0 to 62 mph in under three seconds and can reach a top speed of 217 mph. These numbers reflect Ferrari’s focus on blending advanced hybrid technology with a high-revving V12, rather than relying solely on turbocharging.
Monaco is known for its tight streets and high concentration of exotic cars, making it a fitting backdrop for Alonso’s outings. His recent appearances highlight not only his passion for driving beyond the racetrack, but also his connection to some of the most exclusive performance cars ever built.
Whether piloting a multi-million-dollar homologation special or a landmark Ferrari hypercar, Alonso’s presence on Monaco’s streets continues to draw attention from car enthusiasts and motorsport fans alike.
