David Beckham sold his Porsche 911 Turbo converitble to Lebanese actor, Adam Sabbagh for $277,000. 06/28/2011
Adam Sabbagh, a Lebonese actor who recently wrapped up the filming of Mansion of Blood, a horror movie that stars Gary Busey, was spotted with Paris Hilton at an HTC phone party in Beverly Hills, California. He arrived at the A-list affair in a 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet that once belonged to U.K. soccer star, David Beckham.
The Daily Mail reports that Beckham put the car up for sale at the beginning of the year, after investing $100,000 to customize the sports car to his liking, and Sabbagh dropped nearly $227,000 to buy the used car. The Middle Eastern actor is slowly making his way into American acting world, but his decadent purchase shows that he will likely fit right in with the Hollywood crowd.
Porsche lovers can buy the car for approximately $138,000, and at the time of its release, the 911 Cabriolet was the most expense new car in Porsche's lineup, according to Car and Driver.
After selling his Porsche, Beckham needed to buy a new car, and he chose the 2011 Jaguar XFR, HolyMoly.com reports. The XFR is markedly less expensive than Beckham's previous vehicle, starting at $79,600. Jaguar's latest luxury car offers keyless entry, which will be convenient as Beckham and his wife, Victoria, are expecting their fourth child and will soon have their hands full.
This vehicle is stocked with new technology, such as radar sensors that keep an eye on blind spots and a rear-camera parking aid that is displayed on a 7-inch full-color screen on the dash. With a V8 engine that delivers 510 horsepower, Beckham will probably have little trouble picking his kids up from school on time and in style.
