Antonio Banderas Cars, Sportiness And Comfort
The acclaimed Spanish actor is internationally known for his films, but his purchasing power allows him to own a dream garage. Antonio Banderas’ cars are a reflection of the style and class that have always characterized the man from Malaga.
His passion for the world of motorsport comes from his youth, as he soon became fond of sports competitions and is currently passionate about Formula 1. Let’s see several of the models that the actor regularly drives.
Bentley Continental GT Convertible
Located in the state of California, where the actor has one of his huge houses, his brand new convertible is among the most luxurious Antonio Banderas cars. Shiny black in color, this massive coupe is one of the most comfortable vehicles on the market.
Its elegant and ostentatious image makes it one of the favorite vehicles among the most relevant actors, since not everyone can afford to pay the more than € 240,000 that the brand asks for it.
It has a huge four-liter V8 that develops 507 hp of power at 6,000 rpm. With such a propellant, it is not surprising that it achieves true sports car performance for a car of almost two and a half tons.
Accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in five seconds and reaches 301 km / h. All this surrounded by a ride quality more typical of a large luxury saloon, with soundproofing that allows you to carry on a conversation without raising the tone even if the rev counter touches the red band. The Continental GT is one of the cars with the best relationship between sportiness and comfort.
BMW 7 Series
The German model follows a pattern quite similar to that of the Bentley Continental GT, but with the clear advantage of having four doors. The comfort provided by an entire 7 Series is indisputable but, despite far exceeding five meters in length, it moves with an agility more typical of a smaller car.
The good set-up of the chassis and the suspensions with a degree of hardness higher than that of its rivals (Audi A8 or Mercedes S-Class), make you can give yourself certain joys in a section of curves. The steering feel is very direct and with just the right amount of resistance to feel what happens between the tires and the asphalt.
Despite the fact that Antonio Banderas’ cars are usually driven by himself, this BMW 7 Series is an ideal car to enjoy its great rear seats while driving for you.
Porsche 911 Carrera Convertible
The most outstanding jewel of the Spanish actor is a Porsche 911 Carrera Cabrio, specifically the 964 model, manufactured between 1989 and 1994. It is one of the most sought-after models within the 911 range, and it has one of the lines purest in the history of the model.
The color chosen by Antonio is a black that suits the car’s understated lines very well and fits perfectly with the soft top.
The mechanics of this precious classic is the well-known 3.6-liter six-cylinder boxer that has given so much success to the brand. The purr emitted by the exhaust pipe is unmistakable, a reflection of the mechanical balance enjoyed by engines with this arrangement.
Maximum power is 250 hp at 6,100 rpm, with maximum torque of 310 Nm at 4,800 rpm. With a weight-to-power ratio of 5.9 kg / hp, driving fun is guaranteed.
With such data, it is not surprising that this German is capable of going from 0 to 100 km / h in 5.7 seconds and that it reaches 260 km / h.
With all this, the best thing about this model is not the power, but the sensations it transmits to the driver. Everything has a metallic feel that only a sports car from the early 90s can offer; the gear lever is very short and has very defined and fast travels.
It is the ideal model to spend a good morning on a mountain road, something that, without a doubt, Antonio Banderas has enjoyed on more than one occasion.
