The Lexus RX 450h is a mid-sized hybrid SUV. The 450h has a 3.5-litre V6 engine which produces 245 horsepower. The electric motor provides an additional 22 horsepower. Three electric motors power the vehicle, two for the front wheels and one for the rear. The SUV can run on pure electric mode as well.
The Audi R8 Spyder produces 434 PS with its 4.2 FSI V8 engine. The car also has Audi's trademark Quattro drive technology. The R8 has a aluminium frame with an automatic roof, and the car does a top speed of 185 mph.
The Audi Q7 is a full size SUV. It has six engine variants, three petrol and three diesel. Equipped with Quattro technology and height adjustable suspension, this SUV probably holds a lot of Messi's luggage when the footballer plans for a road trip.
Adding a bit of American muscle to his collection, the Dodge Charger produces 425 horsepower with its 6.1-litre, 8-cylinder engine. Messi does look like he has a soft corner for some muscle as well.
