Neymar slams a fortune for a car … illegal

He did not stay discreet for very long. While trying to relaunch his career to Santos FC, Neymar is talking about him … outside the field. At 33, the Brazilian continues to live at his own pace, between round ball and luxury taste. And his last fantasy could well beat all his previous records, at least symbolically. The amount? 1.8 million euros. The gadget? He is worthy of Gotham City.

A Batmobile in the garage of Neymar

Because it is a Batmobile – yes, that of the trilogy of Christopher Nolan – that the former Parisian added to his impressive collection. According to O Globothe model acquired is an exact replica of the famous Tumbler, equipped with a 500 horsepower V8 engine and even … a rear flame launcher. Designed by a Brazilian craftsman with the help of 50 technicians over three years, she has been enthroned so far in a Museum in São Roque. It is now an integral part of Neymar's private property.

A collector's whim, of course. But which still represents half of his monthly salary at the Santos FC. And this is not the first time that Neymar has displayed his passion for the DC Comics universe. We have already seen him costume as a joker for Halloween or put proudly in Batman during private evenings. Now he has the vehicle of his dreams. Small detail, however: he can never lead him on the public highway. Batmobile is strictly prohibited from traffic.

Luxury, passion and disconnection assumed

Far from physical concerns and sports criticisms, Neymar therefore continues to cultivate a separate character. A public figure where the spectacle never stops, even far from the green rectangle. While Santos puts on him to relaunch the sports project, he continues to have fun … in his own way.

At this rate, dribbles could become secondary again. But at least, Neymar remains faithful to himself. Spectacular. Unpredictable. And always more disproportionate.
