Rooney's car collection safe after new mega-bucks deal

As the ink dries on Wayne Rooney's new mega-lucrative five year contract, perhaps the Man Utd and England striker won't have to sell a car now after all!
 
 
Rooney is, of course, a prolific collector of fast cars and, with a rumoured £200k-a-week deal signed and sealed, perhaps he will be in a position to add to his luxury fleet and not scale back as has been suggested.Even though he has not yet celebrated his 25th birthday, Rooney is reported to have owned over 20 cars totaling in excess of £1.5 million, beginning with a humble Ford Sportka and reaching a nadir four years ago when he was presented with a £200k Aston Martin Vanquish by his then fiance Coleen McLoughlin as a good luck gift before the 2006 World Cup!  He returned the gesture and bought a Porsche 911 for his wife for her birthday.
Other cars in his collection include a BMW X5, Mercedes CLK, Cadillac Escalade, a Chrysler 300C, a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder an Audi TT and a Audi RS6 Avant. But the maddest and most original of Rooney’s off-road fleet was his Mercedes G55 AMG. Costing around £100,000 new, the Mercedes G55 was powered by a supercharged 5.4-litre engine which develops 476bhp and 516lb/ft of pulling power. This meant the German 4x4 could accelerate from 0-62mph in 5.6 seconds.
