Zlatan being Zlatan on the streets of Stockholm in a Porsche 918 Spyder
Zlatan Ibrahimovic might not be heading to the World Cup in Brazil on the account of Sweden not qualifying, but that does not mean he stops being Zlatan.
The man - famous for scoring with a bicycle kick about 30m out in an international match - was spotted three days ago on the streets of Stockholm in a spanking new, limited edition Porsche 918 Spyder.
The video was posted online by a member of the public and then picked up by GTBoard.com, an online supercar interest group.
This being Zlatan, his car is no ordinary Porsche (as if a Porsche can be ordinary) - there are only 918 of such Porsches in the world and it has not one, not two but three engines.
"The" bicycle kick. From Sweden vs England friendly in 2012.
One normal 4.6 litre V8 engine and two electric engines in his car combine to produce a mind boggling 887 horsepower.
And since it's a hybrid, it produces a tree-hugging 72-70g/km of carbon dioxide. In comparison, a brand new 1.6 litre Toyota Altis produces a whopping 164g/km of Carbon Dioxide.
So not only is Zlatan be a footballer with audacious footballing skills he is also environmentally friendly.
In the video, he took the time to put on his seatbelt before flooring the car into traffic.
It would have been better if he was driving into the sunset but the sound of the Porsche's V8 engine kicking in is good enough.
