Man City’s Raheem Sterling ditches his Merc for a SMART CAR

Irish Daily Star

MANCHESTER City’s £49 million (€67 million) record signing caused heads to turn with his new motor – by showing up for training in a modest £12,000 (€16,000) Smart car.

Super-fast winger Raheem Sterling won’t be quite as quick in the matt black runaround which has only a maximum 900cc engine and a top speed of 96mph.

The England star is normally spotted driving a £125,000 (€172,000) Mercedes supercar but was spotted arriving and later driving off in the car from Man City’s Etihad training campus on Wednesday.

The 21-year-old, who has scored four goals so far this season and helped his side reach the knockout stage of the Champions League on Tuesday, has had trouble with cars in the past.

In August his Mercedes was crashed by a friend while he was at training.

And in February he was spotted arriving for training in a Range Rover with a parking ticket still attached to it.

Sterling was seen at training driving a Fortwo model Smart car. The rear-wheel drive vehicle boasts acceleration from 0-62mph in 10.4 seconds.

When Sterling signed for City in the summer from Liverpool he became the most expensive English player ever.

He's not the only big name to drive one. Attached are only four of a dozen that I know of. (Mel Gibson, James Harrison, Miley Cyrus and Frankie Muniez pictured) There is also Stirling Moss, Robbie Williams, Jan Leno, George Clooney (electric), Donny Osmond and Kate Hudson to name a few others.
