Alex Pereira gave his coach a Harley-Davidson before he bought himself a car. Three years and two UFC titles later, his garage holds two blue Lamborghinis, and the newest one is a sold-out Aventador SVJ.
Quick answer
Alex Pereira owns two cars, both Confirmed on his own channels: a blue Lamborghini Aventador SVJ bought in September 2026, reported at $1 million to $1.5 million, and a blue Huracan Performante from 2023. He also gave his mentor Glover Teixeira a Harley-Davidson.

Alex Pereira’s car collection at a glance
| Car | Year | Estimated value | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, blue | 2026 | $1 million to $1.5 million (reported) | Confirmed |
| Lamborghini Huracan Performante, blue | 2023 | about $250,000 to $274,390 | Confirmed |
| Harley-Davidson motorcycle, gift to Glover Teixeira | n/a | n/a | Gifted |
Three vehicles. Two of them are his. Both Lamborghinis are Confirmed because Pereira showed them on his own Instagram and YouTube, and because the dealer tagged him. The Harley-Davidson is Gifted: he bought it for his mentor, not for himself.
That is a short list for a two-division champion, and it is short on purpose. We only list vehicles that Pereira or a dealer has shown. Nothing here comes from a rumour site, and nothing has been padded with cars that belong to other fighters.
What car does Alex Pereira drive in 2026?

A blue Lamborghini Aventador SVJ. He bought it at RT Auto Center and announced it on his own Instagram at the end of September 2026, which is why the car carries the status Confirmed and not Reported.
The post came with an unusual admission for a man who now owns two Lamborghinis. Pereira said he was never the type to get hyped about a car, until he drove this one three years ago. So the SVJ was not an impulse buy. It was a car he had been thinking about since 2023, the year he bought his first Lamborghini.
Before the SVJ arrived, his Lamborghini was the Huracan Performante he revealed in 2023. That car is still in the garage. For a fighter who grew up in a favela and started work in a tire shop, two blue Lamborghinis in three years tells the whole story in one image.
The announcement, in his own words
The Instagram post is short, and it is the whole source for the status of this car. It shows Pereira at RT Auto Center with his coach Plinio Cruz, walking around the blue SVJ, opening the door, sitting in it and starting the V12. No press release. No dealer-only photo. Him, the car and the engine.
The caption matters more than the video. Pereira wrote that he had never been the type to get hyped about a car and had never dreamed of owning one like this. Then he said the itch started with the conditions he has today, and that he wanted this car.
He also dated the moment the idea took hold. Three years earlier he had driven an SVJ and thought his own Lamborghini was good, but this one was different. That was 2023, the year of the Huracan. So the second Lamborghini was already in his head when he bought the first.
Why spell this out? Because the difference between Confirmed and Reported on this site is exactly this post. A fighter showing the car himself, at the dealer, with the caption in his own words, is the highest level of proof we use. Everything else in the article hangs on it.
Alex Pereira’s Lamborghini Aventador SVJ
The SVJ is the car that turned Pereira into a car guy. By his own account he drove one three years before he bought his, and the experience stuck. When a blue example came up at RT Auto Center in September 2026, he took it, collected it with his coach Plinio Cruz, and told his followers himself.
SVJ stands for Superveloce Jota, the most extreme version of the Aventador. Lamborghini built 900 coupes and 800 roadsters, plus 63 examples of the SVJ 63 edition. All of them sold out years ago. Keep that number in mind, because it explains the price of his car.
The SVJ is also the last of something. It closes the naturally aspirated V12 Aventador generation, before Lamborghini moved its flagship to hybrid power. Anyone who wants that engine without a battery has a fixed pool of cars to choose from, and the pool will never grow.
His example is blue, the same colour family as his Huracan. He has not published the exact paint name, so we do not guess it. More on the brand and its current line-up on our Lamborghini page.
Aventador SVJ specs
These figures come from Lamborghini’s own press material for the Aventador SVJ. They describe the standard car, not any changes Pereira may have made to his.
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Engine | 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 |
| Power | 770 hp at 8,500 rpm |
| Torque | 720 Nm at 6,750 rpm |
| Dry weight | 1,525 kg |
| 0 to 100 km/h | 2.8 seconds |
| 0 to 200 km/h | 8.6 seconds |
| Top speed | over 350 km/h |
| Drivetrain | all-wheel drive with four-wheel steering |
| Aerodynamics | ALA 2.0 active aerodynamics |
| Production | 900 coupes, 800 roadsters, 63 SVJ 63 |
| Base price at launch | $517,770 |
The number that sold the car to enthusiasts is a lap time. In July 2018, Lamborghini test driver Marco Mapelli lapped the Nurburgring Nordschleife in 6:44.97. At the time that was the production car record, more than two seconds faster than the Porsche 911 GT2 RS.
ALA 2.0 made that lap possible. Flaps in the front splitter and in the rear wing open and close in milliseconds, cutting drag on the straights and adding downforce in the corners. The system can even load one side of the wing more than the other to help the car turn. Four-wheel steering handles the slow stuff.
Why a $517,770 car changes hands for over $1 million
Lamborghini’s launch price for the Aventador SVJ was $517,770. The sites that covered Pereira’s purchase put the value of his car between $1 million and $1.5 million. Both numbers are real. They describe different things.
The launch price is what the first owner paid Lamborghini in 2018 or 2019. The reported figure is what a sold-out limited edition changes hands for years later, when the only way to get one is to buy it from someone who already has it.
Two things push that second number up. The SVJ is capped at 900 coupes and 800 roadsters, and it is the last naturally aspirated V12 Aventador. Collectors pay for scarcity and they pay for the engine. A low-mileage car in a strong colour sits at the top of that range.
What we do not know is what Pereira paid. RT Auto Center has not published a price and neither has he. So the table above says it the only honest way: $1 million to $1.5 million, reported, not confirmed.
Alex Pereira’s Huracan Performante, the Gift from God
The Huracan Performante came first. Pereira revealed the blue car on his own YouTube channel in 2023 with a caption that said everything about how he saw it: Gift from God. That video is why the car is Confirmed.
The reveal has a scene fans still quote. Pereira drove the car to Glover Teixeira, his mentor and the man who took him from kickboxing into the UFC. Teixeira looked at the Huracan and assumed it was a present for him. It was not. It was the first car Pereira had ever bought for himself.
You can see why he was confused. Pereira had already given him a Harley-Davidson, and a Lamborghini looked like the logical next step. The moment says a lot about the order in which Pereira spends money. Coach first. Then himself.
The Performante cost about $250,000 to $274,390 at the time, depending on options. Sources give both ends of that range, so the table shows both instead of an average.
Huracan Performante specs
The Performante was the track-focused Huracan, and the first Lamborghini to carry ALA, the active aerodynamics system the SVJ later inherited as ALA 2.0. These are Lamborghini’s figures for the standard car.
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Engine | 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10 |
| Power | 640 hp at 8,000 rpm |
| Torque | 600 Nm |
| 0 to 100 km/h | 2.9 seconds |
| Top speed | 325 km/h |
| Aerodynamics | ALA 1.0 active aerodynamics |
| Nurburgring Nordschleife | 6:52.01, announced at the 2017 launch |
The lap time is the link between Pereira’s two cars. The Performante’s 6:52.01 was the headline at its 2017 launch. A year later the SVJ took the same idea further and went under 6:45. Pereira owns both ends of that story, and both in blue.
The Harley-Davidson he gave Glover Teixeira
The third vehicle in this collection is not in Pereira’s garage. It is a Harley-Davidson, and it belongs to Glover Teixeira. Pereira bought it for his mentor before he bought a car for himself, which is why it appears here as Gifted.
Teixeira is the reason Pereira is in the UFC at all. The former light heavyweight champion trained him, cornered him and vouched for him. The Harley was Pereira’s way of paying that back before the big money arrived. One line in the table, and the most telling one.
We do not list the model or the price because Pereira has not shared them. If he does, the row gets updated. Until then it stays as it is: a gift, confirmed by the man who gave it.
From a tire shop to Poatan’s garage
Alex Pereira, nicknamed Poatan, grew up in a favela in Brazil and started his working life in a tire shop. He became a Glory kickboxing champion, then a two-division UFC champion at middleweight and light heavyweight. His coach is Plinio Cruz. His mentor is Glover Teixeira.
That background explains the garage. Two cars, both bought with title money, both from the same brand, both announced by him. No Rolls-Royce. No fleet. No collection for the sake of a collection. Just a car he drove once and wanted for three years.
It also explains the order. A Harley for the coach came before a Lamborghini for himself. The Huracan came before the Aventador. Each step was a reward for a fight, not a lifestyle upgrade. That is rare in this sport, and it is why his collection reads differently from most.
Timeline of Poatan’s garage
Three vehicles in three years, in an order that says more than the brands do.
- 2023, Harley-Davidson. Bought for mentor Glover Teixeira, before Pereira owned a car worth talking about. Status Gifted.
- 2023, Lamborghini Huracan Performante. Revealed on his own YouTube channel as the Gift from God, his first car for himself. Status Confirmed.
- September 2026, Lamborghini Aventador SVJ. Collected at RT Auto Center with coach Plinio Cruz and announced on Instagram. Status Confirmed.
There is no 2024 or 2025 entry, and that is not a gap in our research. Pereira did not show a new vehicle in those years. Two title reigns, several defences, and no car posts in between. When the next one comes, it goes here with a date.
What we do not list, and why
Search for Pereira’s cars and you will find pages that give him five or six vehicles. We checked them. None of those extra cars appears on his own channels, in a dealer post that tags him, or in a source we trust. So they are not in the table, not even as rumours.
The same rule applies to the paint name of the SVJ, the options on the Huracan and the model of the Harley. Pereira has not said. We would rather leave a cell empty than fill it with a guess. When he posts, we update the table and the date at the top of this page.
How his garage compares
Against the rest of our UFC fighters car collections 2026, Pereira sits in the middle. He does not have the eight-vehicle spread of Conor McGregor, and he does not have the single gifted Land Rover Defender of Islam Makhachev. He has two Lamborghinis and a clear reason for each.
The closest comparison is Israel Adesanya, the man Pereira beat for the middleweight title. Adesanya’s garage is built around an orange McLaren 720S Spider and a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, plus the cars he bought his parents. Pereira’s is built around one brand and one colour.
Every profile in our Celebrity car collections 2026 hub uses the same status rules. Confirmed, Reported and Gifted mean the same thing on every page, so the garages can be compared honestly.
