An Asturian is setting up a garage with dream supercars in Monaco: Fernando Alonso

by

That a Formula 1 driver like Fernando Alonso buys a sports car is not something that should attract attention. However, when these purchases occur over time and refer to some of the most iconic classic cars or the most spectacular hypercars on the market, the result is one of the best collections of cars. Alonso has surprised everyone with his latest acquisition: a Lamborghini Sián FKP 37the Italian brand’s most extreme hybrid supercar, of which only 63 units have been manufactured in the world. This car, which costs more than 4 million euros in the current market, has the license plate number 14, a personal nod from the Asturian driver to the number he wears on his helmet. The Lamborghini supercar joins the two-time world champion’s spectacular car collection in Monaco, where he lives and can be seen behind the wheel of these jewels. Lamborghini Sian FKP 37: the newcomer Alonso has been seen on the streets of Monaco at the wheel of one of the most technological bulls that have come out of Sant’Agata Bolognese: the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37. Lamborghini’s limited edition hypercar combines a 6.5-liter, 785 HP naturally aspirated V12 engine with an electrical system based on supercapacitors that raises total power to 819 HP. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and exceeds 355 km/h maximum speed. There are only 63 coupes of this model, a number that is not coincidental since it pays tribute to the year 1963, when Lamborghini began manufacturing sports cars. This model began production in 2019 and its selling price was 3.3 million euros. However, its exclusivity and appeal to collectors have caused its price to skyrocket to well over 4 million euros. Tap on the image to go to the original message The Instagram account @monaco_luxurystyle captured the moment in which the Asturian pilot he got off of the exclusive Lamborghini with the 14 on its license plate on the streets of Monaco. Classic vintage Ferraris In recent months, Alonso has expanded his garage with classic cars such as the Ferrari 512 TR as the one Michael Jordan drove in the 90s, which represents his taste for the Italian classics of the firm Il Cavallino. The 512 TR was the evolution of the Ferrari Testarrosa powered by a V12 engine that delivered 428 HP of pure fun. Shortly after, was seen driving another legend through the streets of Monaco: a Ferrari F40 with its license plate F014, a beast from the 80s known for the brutality of its V8 biturbo engine that delivered 478 HP with just over 1100 kg of weight, and for being the last one that had the approval of Enzo Ferrari. There are not only Ferraris: also exclusive Mercedes-Benz and Fords The two-time champion’s garage is not only nourished by the Italian automobile industry. Among its latest additions we also find a Mercedes-Benz CLK GTRone of the most extreme and exclusive cars of the German firm, of which only 26 units exist. Again, the spotters were witnesses of Alonso’s rides behind the wheel of his supercars through Monaco. Mercedes manufactured these units with the sole objective of complying with the regulations for the FIA ​​GT Championship, which is the natural habitat of this hypercar from the late 90s. That is, contrary to what usually happens, the competition unit was first designed to participate in Le Mans, and was later adapted to circulate. The CLK GTR has a 6.9-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine that delivers 600 HP with a six-speed sequential gearbox. In their day, these limited units cost between 1.5 and 2 million euros. Currently, this gem is valued at about 10 million euros. Ford GT Holman Moody Edition He Ford GT Holman Moody Edition It was another of the Asturian pilot’s whims. This limited edition is a tribute to the 1966 Le Mans-winning Ford GT40 Mk II, a version that was developed from an exclusive prototype that was auctioned a few days ago. Aston Martin: playing at home In addition to the great racing classics and classic sports cars, Alonso does not neglect the interests of his team, and it is common to see him at the controls of an Aston Martin model. The most spectacular is the Valkyrie that sports the colors of Aston Martin Racing and its distinctive 014S license plate that identifies it as the property of the driver. The Valkyrie is a brutal hypercar for the track, but which is allowed to circulate on the road, not without drawbacks. Recently the brand gave him an imposing Aston Martin DBX S in black, a powerful SUV with more than 700 HP to get around in your daily life. However, the car with which Alonso feels more comfortable It is an Aston Martin Valiant, with a 745 HP biturbo V12 engine, manual transmission and configuration customized by Alonso among the 38 units that will be manufactured of this model.

Here, teenagers have the opportunity to learn to drive in a Porsche 911 Carreraa sportsman valued at more than 150,000 euros and with a power of 394 hp.

In Monaco, many students obtain their license by driving modest cars with front -wheel drive and usually do not exceed 100 hp. However, taking into account that Monaco’s principality is one of the countries with greater concentration of millionaires per square meterit is very likely that the first car of these novel drivers will exceed 500 hp and at several hundred thousand euros. “We are driving instructors, but also road safety, so it seemed important to raise awareness about the big engines,” says their owner. Future drivers not only learn the basis of driving, but also become familiar with high -end vehicles and great powersomething essential in a place where garages usually house cars with more than 600 hp.

The demographic debacle in Europe, exposed on this map with a misleading guest: Monaco

by

A few days ago we commented that Spain’s demographic engine is gripped. Very few babies are born Every day, they are not enough for the generational relief and, although we are heading to the record of inhabitants, this is thank you to immigration. In addition, more babies are born than 41 -year -old mothers than 25but it is not an exclusive problem from Spain. And, to understand the scope in our most immediate environment, let’s see this graph prepared by Visual Capitalist which shows the fertility rate in Europe: Fertility rate. It is the average number of children that a woman would have throughout her reproductive life (period between 15 and 49 years). It is estimated that 2.1 children per woman is the right rate for generational relief and is a long -term indicator. Bad news: according to UN estimates by 2025, in Europe there is no country that reaches that desired fertility rate. A small green redoubt. Well, there is one: Monaco. The problem is that it is not something that is important in a Europe that has a very low fertility rate because its population is extremely small (only 39,000 residents) and any change in the indicator that is significantly alters the measurements. The economy is not a problem in Monaco. Montenegro with 1.8 and Romania with 1.7 are the ones that complete the podium. In the lower part, we have Ukraine (which, due to their situation, is not representative) and countries such as Malta or Andorra with a rate of 1.1. Spain, next to Italy, San Marino or Lithuania, is also closer to the well than to see the light due to a rate of 1.2. Decay. There are already those who said that The true challenge of the 21st century It would be the demographic because, although by 2080 we will be 2.3 billion more people On the planet, not all territories will grow homogeneously. In the European case, there are a number of issues that have formed the perfect cocktail so that both birth rates (births per 1,000 inhabitants) and fertility have collapsed in recent years. The Independence age has increased These last two decades, standing above 30 years on average in the Spanish case. The rental price for the clouds prevents assets from saving or raising a child. And this, together with cultural factors, has caused the downturn of the fertility rate. A few decades ago, in fact, worldwide It was five children per woman. Today we settle for the aforementioned 2.1. Immigration. That this generational relay does not occur has a multitude of implications, two of the most visible being the impossibility of maintaining systems such as pension and the lack of labor personnel. Now, something that can make the renovation rate immigration. In the Spanish case, four out of ten jobs From January to June 2024 they were covered by an immigrant, but in birth, immigration also has a positive impact. In 2021, almost a third of babies born in Spain, 32.4%, He had at least one foreign father or mother. With the magnifying glass in hand, 42% were of Latin American origin, 28% African, 22% European and 7% Asian. Now, something that has been observed is that fertility rates of immigrant mothers tend to line with that of the local population. World problem. As we say, beyond in Europe, demography is A problem in many countries. But although in this article we have put the focus on the countries of our environment because the representation of the Visual Capitalist map is very clear, if we look at the East, the situation is devastating. South Korea either Japan They have suffered a demographic debacle. China, more of the same, and although the three countries have launched many Measures to stop that depopulationsomething they have in common is the intention of reactivating their population thanks to the immigrant labor. Either in the field… either hiring babysitters so that fathers and mothers can get to work. Returning to Europe, what all graphics and measurements indicate is that it is not a passing problem, but a long -term challenge with very deep implications. In Asia there are countries that seem trace with some proposalsbut it is something that will be seen in the medium and long term.

There is a country in Europe where one in three inhabitants is a millionaire and only 46% were born there: Monaco

by

If you think of a city in Europe that the supercar is already part of the landscape of their streets, luxury stores follow each other on their boulevards and the supereyates are attached to their marinas, you are probably Thinking about Monaco. However, luxury and exclusivity do not remain in the posture of its streets. One of the higher concentrations of millionaire population of all the Mediterranean. So much so, that the majority of its population is foreign and is one of the countries in which it is more complicated to belong to the richest 1% of its population, according to the report ‘The Wealt Report of 2024‘Prepared by the consultant Knight Frank. Monaco’s population is not Monegasca. With an area of ​​just 2.02 km2, the Principality is the second smallest country in the world, only behind the Vatican. According to demographic data, In 2023 it had a census population of 38,367 inhabitants, of which 21,042 citizens They are of foreign originmainly from France, Italy and the United Kingdom. This means that only 46% of the total population is of Monegasco origin. In recent years, the percentage of the population of foreign millionaires It has been decliningbut in the 60s of the last century, they reached figures close to 70% of its population. High density of millionaires. According to Knight Frank’s report, in Monaco there are some 13,400 people of very high purchasing power. That assumes that approximately 35% of its resident population, has a equity available to invest more than one million dollars, discarding the value of its habitual residence from that amount. The economic data They point out that the GDP per capita of the Principality of Monaco in 2023 was 256,580 dollars, compared to the $ 33,500 in Spain, the 44,690 dollars of France or the 99,564 dollars recorded Switzerland. In Monaco it is difficult to be “rich”. Belonging to 1% of the richest elite is not easy in any country, but being in one with the density of a millionaire per m2 that Mónaco has is even more complicated. According to Knight Frank data, to belong to the 1% richest population in Monaco, it will be necessary to have a heritage of more than $ 12,883,000. Instead, for belong to the 1% richest in Spainthe same person would need a heritage of $ 2,468,000 or $ 5,813,000 to be considered part of that millionaire elite in the US. No taxes and no tax havens. For decades, Monaco was considered a fiscal paradise for his low taxation and the fiscal secret that protected its inhabitants. International diplomacy has made small principality open its archives and, with it, left the fiscal paradise lists. Despite that, its residents enjoy a total absence of direct imposition. That is, there is neither IRPF nor societies for companies. Income and assets are not subject to imposition, so there are no taxes on investment income, capital gains, dividends or yields such as worker, freelance or manager of a company. The only taxation that can support those fortunes that have more than 25% of their activity outside Monaco is a 25% tax on benefits.
