[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, a Porsche owned by Lionel Messi during his time at Barcelona is set to go up for auction. The 38-year-old Messi drove a 2021 Porsche Cayenne GTS Coupe in his final season with Barcelona, the 2020–21 campaign. The luxury vehicle is registered in Barcelona, Messi’s beloved city, but is currently located in Berlin and in excellent condition. The car shows just 14,173 miles on the odometer and has recently passed a German TÜV inspection. It is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with a top speed of 168 miles per hour. The Porsche accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds and delivers 453 horsepower. This rare £100,000 Porsche will go under the hammer on Monday via SBX Cars.
The editor believes that this Porsche may not have been Messi’s daily driver; it could have been a sponsor gift or an impulsive purchase. The car is still in extremely new condition, which suggests Messi barely drove it. Powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine, this Cayenne GTS comes equipped with the Sport Chrono package and aggressive GTS specifications, combining everyday practicality with the strong performance typical of Porsche.
