What cars does KSI own?

The stunning Italian sports car was wrapped by celebrity customiser Yiannimize in an eye-catching purple hue.

The lavish motor, which carries a price tag starting at around £65k, boasts a drop-top roof and a top speed of 171mph.
And just to make sure everyone knows who is behind-the-wheel, KSI added a personalised licence plate which reads “K51 FLY”.
