Football or as Americans prefer to call it, soccer, stirs huge passions in most parts of the world, and Germany makes no exception. Earlier this year, Borussia Dortmund’s striker Robert Lewandowski announced that he would move to rivaling team Bayern Munich from June, which resulted in Dortmund fans being deeply upset at him.
We don’t know if angry Dortmund fans had something to do with this, but on Monday, Lewandowski found his Porsche Cayenne GTS without its wheels and resting on bricks, right outside his house.
It looks like someone took direct action to stop him from getting to Munich, although a well-paid player like Lewandowski obviously won’t have any difficulty spending €2,400 ($3,280) on a new set of wheels. However, the Polish striker may have to dig deeper in his pockets, as the vandals also damaged the Porsche’s underbody by the way they stacked the bricks.
Since announcing his departure from Dortmund on a free transfer, Lewandowski has not had a quiet time in the city. He is constantly booed at by his Dortmund fans and even accused of assault by a 17-year-old fan. The supporter said Lewandowski hit him after he shouted he “earns too much money” and swore at him. The fan later dropped the charges.
The Porsche Cayenne GTS starts from €92,202 ($125,985) in Germany. The sporty SUV is powered by an uprated version of the Cayenne S’ 4.8-liter naturally aspirated V8 delivering an extra 20hp for a total output of 414hp (420PS). The engine is mated to an eight-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission with an integrated auto start/stop function. The Cayenne GTS sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 261 km/h (162mph).
