Fernando Alonso has been spotted once again showing off another car from his jaw-dropping collection in Monaco. 

The two-time Formula 1 champion was seen around the streets of Monte Carlo behind the wheel of a rare Porsche 918 Spyder.

The 918 Spyder, launched in 2013, is a mid-engine plug-in hybrid powered by a 4.6-litre V8 engine that produces 599 horsepower, supplemented by twin electric motors generating an additional 282 horsepower.

Only 918 were ever produced, and it was also the first production road car to break the seven-minute barrier around the Nürburgring. Current estimates value the machinery between €1.8 million and €3 million.

"This guy has the Gran Turismo garage in Monaco," one fan commented on X, while another reacted: "I wish for all car enthusiasts to be able to afford a 918—the rest is trivial!"

"That car is something... love it!" someone else posted, and another wrote: "I'm curious how many garages he rents out for the whole collection fleet he's got. What a f***ing legend."

 

The 918 Spyder joins an incredible line-up of cars in the Spaniard's garage. Other cars featured in his collection reportedly include the other two thirds of the Holy Trinity: a McLaren P1 and a LaFerrari, as well as a one-of-one Pagani Zonda 760 and a Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Strassenversion. 

Unsurprisingly, the Aston Martin F1 driver also owns several cars from the British marque, including a bespoke Valkyrie, a Valiant, a DBX 707 and a DBX S.

Alonso's appearance comes as Monte Carlo prepares for the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix, with the trackside boarding already seen around the principality. 

The Silverstone outfit has suffered a torrid start to the 2026 F1 season. Alonso currently sits 22nd in the drivers' standings with no points, directly behind his team-mate Lance Stroll in 21st on the same amount of points.

The Monaco Grand Prix will take place in Monte Carlo from 5-7 June.
