Ilia Topuria Car Collection: From a BMW 1 Series to a V12 Lamborghini

Last updated 6 October 2026

Ilia Topuria keeps a V12 Lamborghini and a silent electric Porsche in the same garage, and he never sold the BMW 1 Series. Here is every car Spanish motoring sites attribute to El Matador, with the status each one deserves.

Ilia Topuria’s car collection at a glance

Car	Year	Estimated value	Status
Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster	n/a	n/a	Reported
Porsche Taycan	n/a	about 170,000 euros (reported)	Reported
Porsche 911 GT3	n/a	n/a	Reported
Mercedes-AMG A45 4Matic	n/a	n/a	Reported
Mercedes-Benz C-Class	n/a	n/a	Reported
BMW 1 Series	n/a	n/a	Reported

Six cars, one status. Every vehicle in this table is Reported, because every source that lists them is a Spanish motoring site and none of them points to a post by Topuria himself. That is not a knock on the cars. It is the rule we apply to every fighter on this site.

The years and most of the values are empty on purpose. The Spanish coverage gives one price, for the Taycan, and no model years. We could fill the gaps with list prices from the brands, but that would dress up a guess as a fact. Empty cells are more honest.

Why every car on this page is Reported, not Confirmed

On Fast Cars Collection a car is Confirmed when the fighter shows it on his own Instagram or YouTube, when an official dealer or tuner tags him, or when a government or court record names it. Reported means a publication we trust describes the car and the fighter has not.

Topuria is a special case. His garage has been covered by hibridosyelectricos.com, motor16.com, coches-electricos.org and actumoteur.fr. All four are motoring sites, three of them Spanish, and they agree with each other on the list. Agreement between sources is good. It is still not the same as the man himself posting the keys.

So the table stays at Reported until one of two things happens: Topuria shows a car on his own channel, or we photograph one ourselves. He lives and trains in Alicante, which makes the second option more realistic for us than for any other fighter in this series. When either happens, the status changes and the date at the top of this page moves.

What car does Ilia Topuria drive?

The honest answer is that nobody outside his circle knows which one he drives on a given day. The reported list runs from a BMW 1 Series to a Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster, with two Porsches and two Mercedes in between. That spread is the story.

Most fighters at his level own one headline car and a daily driver. Topuria, on the reported evidence, has both ends covered twice. A V12 Lamborghini and a 911 GT3 for the days that call for noise. A Porsche Taycan for the days that call for none. And three ordinary German cars that most champions would have sold years ago.

He is also, as far as we can find, the only current UFC champion with both a naturally aspirated V12 and a fully electric Porsche in the same garage. That combination is the reason this page exists.

Ilia Topuria’s Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster

The headline car. Motor16 describes it as a mid-engined supercar with a carbon fibre structure and a 6.5-litre V12, and lists it as part of his collection. The Aventador S Roadster was Lamborghini’s open-top flagship from 2017, with two removable roof panels and the naturally aspirated V12 that the company has since retired.

What the sources do not say is the colour, the year or the price. Topuria has not posted the car. We know the model, and only the model, so that is what the table shows. For the rest of the range, see our Lamborghini page.

One number needs a note. Spanish coverage gives the engine as 730 or 740 horsepower, depending on the site. Both are right. Lamborghini quotes 740 CV, the metric figure. Convert that to the British unit and you land on about 730 bhp. Same engine, two units.

Aventador S Roadster specs

These are Lamborghini’s own figures for the Aventador S Roadster, checked on the company’s heritage pages. They describe the standard car.

Spec	Value
Engine	6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12, mid-mounted
Power	740 CV (544 kW) at 8,400 rpm, about 730 bhp
0 to 100 km/h	3.0 seconds
Top speed	350 km/h
Drivetrain	all-wheel drive with four-wheel steering
Roof	two removable hard panels, stowed under the front lid

The S Roadster was the first open Aventador with four-wheel steering, which Lamborghini added to make a 350 km/h car behave in a car park. At low speed the rear wheels turn against the fronts to shorten the car; at high speed they turn with them to lengthen it. Useful on the coast road out of Alicante.

Ilia Topuria’s Porsche Taycan

The Taycan is the only fully electric car on the list, and the only one with a reported price. Hibridosyelectricos.com, a Spanish site that covers hybrids and EVs, puts it at no less than 170,000 euros and places it as either a Turbo or a Turbo S. The site does not say which.

That matters for the numbers. The first-generation Taycan Turbo makes about 671 hp on overboost and reaches 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds. The Turbo S makes about 751 hp and does it in 2.8 seconds, which is quicker than the Aventador. Either way, the quietest car in the garage is close to the fastest.

Why would a man with a V12 Lamborghini buy an electric Porsche? The sources do not ask him, so we will not answer for him. We will only point out that a fighter who trains twice a day in a Spanish city spends more hours in traffic than on an open road, and the Taycan is the car for those hours.

Ilia Topuria’s Porsche 911 GT3

The second Porsche is the opposite of the first. The 911 GT3 is the track-focused 911, naturally aspirated, high-revving and available with a manual gearbox. Hibridosyelectricos.com identifies Topuria’s as the current 992 generation. Motor16 describes a two-door coupe with aerodynamics taken from Porsche’s racing cars.

The GT3 is the enthusiast’s pick in this garage. The Aventador is the car people photograph. The GT3 is the car people who know cars ask about. Having both suggests the collection was not assembled for the camera.

911 GT3 specs

Porsche’s figures for the 992-generation 911 GT3, checked on porsche.com. The Spanish source quotes a 0 to 100 time of 3.3 seconds; Porsche quotes 3.4 with the PDK gearbox. We give both.

Spec	Value
Engine	4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat six
Power	510 PS (375 kW)
Torque	450 Nm
0 to 100 km/h	3.4 seconds with PDK (motor16 quotes 3.3)
Top speed	311 km/h
Gearbox	7-speed PDK or 6-speed manual

Revs are the point. The GT3 engine spins to 9,000 rpm, which is why its 510 PS feels like more than the number suggests. It is the one car on this list that gives up straight-line speed to the Taycan and does not care.

Taycan versus GT3: two Porsches, two jobs

Two Porsches from the same showroom, built for opposite days. The table uses Porsche’s figures for the first-generation Taycan Turbo and Turbo S, since the Spanish source does not say which one Topuria has, and for the 992 GT3.

	Taycan Turbo	Taycan Turbo S	911 GT3
Power	about 671 hp on overboost	about 751 hp on overboost	510 PS
0 to 100 km/h	3.2 seconds	2.8 seconds	3.4 seconds
Top speed	260 km/h	about 260 km/h	311 km/h
Engine	two electric motors	two electric motors	4.0-litre flat six, 9,000 rpm
Noise	none	none	all of it

Read the first two columns and the GT3 looks slow. Read the last row and you understand why anyone with a Taycan would still buy one. The electric car wins every sprint from the lights. The GT3 wins every road with a corner in it, and it is the only one of the three you can buy with a clutch pedal.

For a fighter, the split makes sense. Training days are Taycan days: quiet, quick, no drama. Rest days on the coast road north of Alicante are GT3 days. The Aventador is for the days when the whole town should know he is back.

The Mercedes-AMG A45, the C-Class and the BMW 1 Series

Now the other half of the garage. Motor16 and hibridosyelectricos.com both list a Mercedes-AMG A45 4Matic, a Mercedes-Benz C-Class and a BMW 1 Series. None of the three would turn a head outside a UFC gym. All three are still there.

The A45 is the one with a story to tell. It is the fastest version of the A-Class, a compact hatchback with a turbocharged four-cylinder and all-wheel drive, the kind of car a young fighter buys with his first real purse. The C-Class is the sensible saloon. The 1 Series is the car most people own before they own anything else.

Put the 1 Series next to the Aventador and you have the whole arc in two cars. One is the entry-level BMW. The other is a V12 Lamborghini. Motor16 and hibridosyelectricos.com list the first next to the second, which means he kept it, and that tells you more about him than either car does on its own.

We do not have years, trims or prices for any of the three. The Spanish coverage names the models and stops there. So do we.

El Matador in Alicante

Ilia Topuria was born on 21 January 1997 in Halle, Germany, to a Georgian family, and holds both Georgian and Spanish nationality. He is the first fighter from either country to hold a UFC title, and the first undefeated fighter to win titles in two divisions, featherweight and lightweight.

He lives and trains in Alicante, on Spain’s east coast, and runs a YouTube channel with about 720,000 subscribers. His brother Aleksandre fights in the UFC too. The nickname El Matador is the one most fans search for, and the one most likely to put this page in front of them.

Alicante is also why we expect this page to change. Every other fighter in our series lives an ocean away. Topuria drives these cars on roads we can stand next to. The first time one of them passes a camera of ours, the status column gets its first Confirmed.

What the Spanish sources agree on, and where they stop

Four sites, one list. Hibridosyelectricos.com, motor16.com, coches-electricos.org and actumoteur.fr all name the same six cars, and none of them names a seventh that the others leave out. For a celebrity garage, that level of agreement is unusual. Most fighters’ lists grow by one car every time a new site copies the last one.

Where the sources stop is just as telling. No model years. No colours. One price, for the Taycan, and that one is given as a minimum. No photographs of Topuria with any of the cars. The coverage reads like a list compiled from a few interviews and a lot of inference, which is exactly why it earns Reported and not Confirmed.

We checked each model’s specifications against the manufacturer. Where the Spanish figures differ from the factory, the table gives both: 730 against 740 for the Aventador, 3.3 against 3.4 seconds for the GT3. Neither difference changes the story. Both are noted so you can see our work.

How his garage compares

Within our UFC fighters car collections 2026, Topuria’s six reported cars sit between the two-car focus of Alex Pereira and the eight-vehicle spread of Conor McGregor. The difference is in the mix. Pereira bought two Lamborghinis. McGregor bought two Lamborghinis, two Rolls-Royces and a McLaren. Topuria, on the reported list, bought one of each kind of car and kept the ordinary ones.

The closest match in spirit is Islam Makhachev, the other champion in this group who has not chased a supercar for its own sake. The difference is that Makhachev’s Defender is Confirmed on his own Instagram and Topuria’s cars are not. Yet.

Every garage in our Celebrity car collections 2026 hub uses the same labels, so the comparison holds across pages.
