A Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive. That’s the reward that each player on the Leicester City Football Club will receive for winning the 2015/2016 Barclays Premier League.
According to the Daily Mail, the Foxes’ chairman, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha will award the 30-man squad with 30 cars that each has an on-the-road price of 32,670 pounds sterling (RM188,445). The founder of King Power Duty Free will spend over a million pounds sterling (over RM5,768,946) for the purchase.
Additionally, the team has been promised an all-expense paid trip to Las Vegas, and will be further rewarded with a 6.5 million pounds sterling (RM37,499,841) prize pot split between them.
Srivaddhanaprabha isn’t done yet, as he believes the historic feat by the Foxes, beating out teams like Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham, deserves even more recognition and is looking for more ways to reward them.
Whether or not the Premier League champions will actually use their electric B-Class as a daily driver remains to be seen. Given the amount each player stands to profit from their achievement, a sports car may be a more tempting proposition as a means of transport.
However, should they opt for the green car, the B-Class Electric Drive is motivated by a 132 kW (177 hp) electric motor that is powered by a lithium-ion battery pack. Under the NEDC cycle, the vehicle has an electric range of 198 km.

Bagi Suprima S la. Murah sikit.
The owner wants the players to ride comfortably and SAFELY to training la, dey.
Great story. Great ending for the prize. Sending a good message of electric car instead of some heavy gas guzzler. Well done Srivaddhanaprabha!
What a story Leicester city..still cant believe it… Fully deserved…
The team made news! And I’m sure the owner want them to continue to be in the news. Hence, rewards after another!
Tony F is asking… “Why not me”…
Take a lesson Tony. Don’t throw your money like last time to buy all the big teams rejects. Get your team to play as a team.
QPR can only manage a lowly 12th in Championship this season, and the new coach is already talking about buying players.
3-2-1 Concept management rooling money for profits faster.Intelligence manage from Mr Srivaddanaprabha for the Club Leiucester City.Luckytime top up to Premier Champion Barclay’s and big benefit to Mercedes Benz …too.
the entire team bonus of 6.5 million pounds sterling is so pitiful. a single top player like rooney earns more than that.
Hopefully all player in Leicester will stay with the club. Dont pursue money like some JDT players haha
