Real Madrid's first-team squad have been treated to complimentary cars by club sponsors Audi at a event on Monday. Each year, the deal sees the players take home an Audi of their choice, and it comes as no surprise that speed demon Cristiano Ronaldo picked the fastest option available. The Portuguese forward opted for the powerful 520-horsepower S8 model, along with defender Sergio Ramos. The most popular choice by some way was the Q7, a bigger, SUV car. Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez and Javier Hernandez were among the Real Madrid stars who chose that model, with a 245-horsepower, 3 litre TDI engine. Summer recruit Toni Kroos was more refined in his choice - the S7 Sportback, a more elegant coupe. Raphael Varane, Dani Carvajal and Alvaro Arbeloa plumped for the sporty SQ5, boasting a 313-horsepower twin-turbocharged diesel engine. Before they were presented with the keys to their new cars, the Madrid squad were put through their paces with a series of tests - a small price to pay for a brand new Audi. Divided into two teams, the players mounted stationary bikes to pedal through a relay race, before a keepy-uppy challenge shortly after. They also participated in a reflex and co-ordination test, before posing with their new cars, some of which worth over 100,000 euros. Last week, the Barcelona squad were treated to the same choices at a similar event.
