What Cars Do Greek Footballers Really Drive? From Supercars to Everyday Cars

Footballers and expensive cars are an obvious combination. But look beyond the usual Ferrari-and-Lamborghini clichés and the cars associated with Greek footballers tell a more interesting story.

Some choices are spectacular. Others are surprisingly practical. And sometimes the car says more about the personality of the player than the size of his bank account.

There is one important caveat: appearing with a car does not necessarily mean that a player owns it. Cars can be leased, borrowed, provided through partnerships or simply used temporarily. So rather than repeating every rumour found online, here are some of the better-documented examples.

Kostas Tsimikas: when an SUV becomes a supercar

Kostas Tsimikas currently has perhaps the most spectacular car story of any Greek footballer.

In August 2026, the Liverpool defender was filmed arriving at the club's training centre in a Mercedes-AMG G 63 heavily modified by Mansory.

The result is the Mansory Gronos: a dramatically widened G-Class with extensive carbon-fibre bodywork, bespoke details and a much more aggressive appearance than the standard Mercedes.

According to Car and Driver Greece, the version associated with Tsimikas produces up to 820 PS and has an estimated value of around €584,000. A standard AMG G 63 starts from around €272,500 in the Greek market.

That is an extraordinary amount of money for an SUV.

But there is something fascinating about the choice. The G 63 is not a fragile garage queen. It is enormous, luxurious, capable of carrying passengers and luggage and designed to be used every day. Mansory simply turns that practicality into something almost absurd.

Tsimikas has also previously been photographed with a Lamborghini Huracán Evo Spyder, showing that his taste clearly extends beyond large luxury SUVs.

Kostas Fortounis: the supercar that can carry the whole family

Kostas Fortounis has chosen another answer to the same question.

Reportedly among the cars associated with the former Olympiacos captain is a Lamborghini Urus S, one of the clearest examples of the modern super-SUV philosophy.

The Urus S combines Lamborghini's dramatic styling with the proportions and usability of an SUV. It has a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 producing 666 hp, reaches 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds and has a claimed top speed of 305 km/h.

In other words, it is a Lamborghini that does not require you to compromise nearly as much as a conventional supercar.

That makes it an interesting choice for a professional footballer. Training, travelling, family life and everyday driving are all easier in a large SUV than in a two-seat exotic.

At around €355,000 in Greece when reported by Novasports in 2024, however, practicality clearly does not mean inexpensive.

Giourkas Seitaridis: the surprise is not the Ferrari

Perhaps the most revealing story belongs to Giourkas Seitaridis.

The former Greece international has long been known as a genuine motorsport enthusiast. Ferrari has featured in that story, but his everyday choice is what makes him interesting.

In an interview with 4ΤΡΟΧΟΙ, Seitaridis explained that he used a Smart for everyday city driving. He also owned a Ducati Panigale for track days and leisure riding.

That is a very different philosophy from the stereotypical footballer's garage.

Someone who can afford almost any luxury car does not necessarily need to use one to go everywhere. A tiny Smart makes far more sense in a crowded city. Then, when the objective is driving enjoyment rather than simply getting from A to B, something completely different comes out of the garage.

In Seitaridis' case, the passion appears to be about the experience rather than the badge.

Stefanos Athanasiadis: performance above prestige

Another Greek footballer whose car choices were driven by performance was Stefanos Athanasiadis.

Older reports connected the former PAOK captain with a modified Audi R8 before he moved to a Nissan GT-R.

Neither choice was especially subtle, but both were fundamentally performance machines.

That distinction matters.

There is a difference between buying an expensive car because it is expensive and buying one because you genuinely care about what happens when you press the accelerator.

The R8 and GT-R belong firmly in the second category.

The interesting pattern

Put these examples together and a pattern starts to emerge.

The stereotypical footballer's car is a Ferrari parked outside a nightclub.

The modern reality is often much more practical.

High-performance SUVs have become extremely attractive because they remove one of the biggest compromises of traditional supercars. A Lamborghini Urus or Mercedes-AMG G 63 can deliver spectacular performance while still offering four doors, useful luggage space and a much easier daily-driving experience.

Then there are the genuine enthusiasts.

For them, the badge is not necessarily the point. A Nissan GT-R can be more interesting than a much more expensive luxury car. A Ducati can matter as much as a Lamborghini. And, occasionally, the smartest everyday choice is simply a Smart.

That may be the biggest surprise of all.

What Greek footballers drive does not just tell us who has the most expensive car. It reveals something about what they value when they are away from the pitch.

Some want presence.

Some want performance.

Some want practicality.

And some simply want to enjoy driving.

That makes their garages much more interesting than a simple ranking by price.
