Adam Sabbagh bought David Beckham Porsche 911 that our friends down at EuroCar were selling. We thought the beckham’s old Porsche 911 was selling for a lot less but apparently it transacted with a hefty price tag… nearly $227,000!

Question is, who the hell is Adam Sabbagh?

Adam Sabbagh is international top model and actor based in Los Angeles, California, who has just wrapped up filming horror film Mansion of Blood with Gary Busey. He became a prestigious public figure in the Middle East and a role model for the youth through his political background and after winning two of the most high profile fashion contests, “Mr Lebanon Manhunt International” and “Mr Arab” in 2008 which led to many media interviews in television, radio and magazines.

American R&B recording artist and songwriter Akon (born April 16, 1973) adds another car to his incredible fleet. This time it is a white Porsche Panamera with staggered white and black 22″ Savini wheels. It seems like white is the new black this year with cars, especially in Miami. The car was customized by Exclusive Motoring in Miami.

The Porsche Panamera looks a little plain without a body kit but the wheels do help. I hold Akon to a higher standard and would have liked to see him take this custom build to the next level with some more black accents and maybe even a Mansory body kit.

Cool Car parking

This cool car parking job has to be seen to be believed. Watch as the driver manages to flip and roll his car into a series of open spots to create his very own parallel spot. It’s just a shame he was actually trying to keep it on the road.

Despite the acrobatics and massive crash, the driver still manages to get out of his car and examines his handy work as if it were a fender scratch.

Is this the Porsche Cayman in this crash?

2012 New Porsche 911 (Porsche 991)

It was just last week that Porsche lifted the embargo on pictures of the all new Porsche 911 (Porsche 991) taken during hot weather testing in South Africa.

This morning, they upped the ante and released the following video on YouTube.

Watch this Porsche video – New Porsche 911 First Official Video

While the video doesn’t go into any details or expose many new details, you can catch a glimpse of what looks to be a reported 7 speed manual shifter in the final few seconds of the video during the “closed road testing” along with the newer, Panamera style interior.

Personally, I like seeing the kids eyes light up as their given what will probably be their only opportunity to sit behind the wheel of such a machine. Who knows, maybe it will be enough to inspire them to reach for Porsche ownership someday. The final version of the new Porsche 911 (Porsche 991) is set to debut this fall at the Frankfurt International Auto Show.
