David Beckham has a supercar collection to die for but it’s one of his bespoke Maserati MC20s that is his pride and joy, with the former England captain’s personalised model
David Beckham boasts an enviable multi-million-pound car collection, but one vehicle stands out as his absolute “favourite” – a bespoke Maserati MC20 supercar. This stunning machine, tailored specifically for the football legend, comes with a hefty price tag of £220,000.
The former Manchester United and England midfielder – who turns 50 today – has not one, but two of these jaw-dropping cars in his possession, with the custom-designed model holding a special place in his heart. Maserati proudly describes the MC20 as “the ultimate super sports car”, and a glance at its sleek, contoured bodywork makes it easy to see why.

However, it’s what lies beneath the surface that truly sets the MC20 apart. A twin-turbocharged 3-litre V6 engine churns out an impressive 620 horsepower, propelling the vehicle to a mind-boggling top speed of 201mph.
Acceleration is equally impressive, with the MC20 reaching 0-60mph in a mere three seconds, reports the Express.
In a previous conversation with British GQ, David gushed about his beloved MC20, saying: “The MC20 is in Miami. I’ve got one in London, too. It’s a fabulous car.”
He went on to describe the bespoke design process, revealing: “I did the Fuoriserie programme with Klaus, and went from a car in deep purple to slightly pink, then I went to straight black, with pink trim and pink brake calipers. That’s my favourite.”
David’s second MC20, located in London, sports a sleek gunmetal grey finish. He’s currently trying to persuade his wife Victoria to take it for a spin, but so far, he’s had little success.
“The London car is gunmetal grey. I’m trying to get Victoria to drive it at the moment, but I’m not having much luck. It’s a bit low, but otherwise it’s pretty easy to drive. On a track it’s unbelievable.”
He assured: “The London car is gunmetal grey. I’m trying to get Victoria to drive it at the moment, but I’m not having much luck. It’s a bit low, but otherwise it’s pretty easy to drive. On a track it’s unbelievable.”
The bespoke MC20 was made possible through Maserati’s exclusive Fuoriserie programme, which allowed David to put his own unique spin on the supercar’s design.
The final product features a cross of glossy and matte surfaces within a black and pink colour scheme throughout. Inside, David has opted for black Alcantara seats with pink stitching.
A personalised number plate, ‘DBMC20’ has also been attached while the words ‘For David’ also pencilled in. After the car had been put together, David got his first taste on a racetrack in Modena alongside a professional racing driver instructor.
However, his first journey on public roads was along the coast from Modena to La Spezia. David confessed the car “gets a lot of attention” with “everyone in awe” of the breathtaking model. But he’s over the moon with the design and has previously shared how much he enjoyed building the car from scratch.
He added: “When I visited the Maserati factory in Modena I met a guy called Klaus [Busse, design director], amazing guy, he talked me through the whole process, we discussed what would look great and what wouldn’t.
“Sitting with him for a couple of hours configuring my MC20 was so enjoyable. In fact, I didn’t let on to anyone else just how enjoyable it was in case they stuck me back in there for another few hours.”
