Cricket star’s Porsche for sale on Auto Trader

Posted on August 18, 2006 @ 4:02 pm

England cricket hero Kevin Pietersen is selling his Porsche on Auto Trader.

The batsman – who spear-headed England’s Ashes victory – is selling his one year old 911 Carrera 4 S through specialist Porsche dealer Autobahn.

Pietersen rose to fame for his self-styled spiky ‘dead skunk’ haircut and ruthless batting which helped steer England to their first Ashes victory in 18 years last summer.

The England star’s 179mph convertible sports car is powered by a rear-mounted 3.8-litre engine producing 355bhp, which rockets the vehicle from 0-62mph in a just 4.9 seconds.

Bought new it would cost you £79k.
