Mercedes S500
Price: £150,000
Body: Saloon
Engine: 4966 cc V8
0-60: 6.3 seconds
Maximum speed: 155 mph
Fuel capacity: 88 litres
Fuel consumption: 24.8 mpg
Torque: 339 lb/ft²
Beckham spent three-times the usual price on his S500. The reason? He had it redesigned to withstand heavy gunfire. The heavily-armoured saloon has inch-thick windows, a reinforced floor and an airtight passenger compartment to withstand a gas attack. The car also has an explosion-proof petrol tank and modified wheels. Most may baulk at the price tag but it's a snip for Beckham at just 10 days' wages!

>> Ferrari 360 Spider
Price: £114,650
Body: Convertible
Engine: 3586 cc V8
0-60: 4.6 seconds
Maximum speed: 180 mph
Fuel capacity: 95 litres
Fuel consumption: 17.9 mpg
Torque: 275 lb/ft²
Sister to the 360 Modena coupe, the sassy Spider is one of the most desirable cars on the road. Has Becks ever wanted to try his hand at motor racing? Well you can be sure he hasn't wimped out on the optional extras - with an F1 gearbox he can now pretend he's Michael Schumacher too. Wife Victoria may be cursing the vehicle - the Spider has left his 550 Maranello, the Ferrari she bought for him at the start of their relationship, sitting at the back of his garage collecting dust.

>> Hummer H2
Price: £27,700 + import costs
Body: 4WD
Engine: 5200 cc V8 6.0L
0-60: 10.2 seconds
Fuel capacity: 123 litres
Fuel consumption: 13.0 mpg
Torque: 365 lb/ft²
Becks’ novelty purchase is ideal for transporting his growing family through the leafy streets of Hertfordshire. The military-style vehicle’s added features include a baby station and entertainment centres, which allow children Brooklyn and Romeo to play video games and watch DVDs in the back. Rumour has it Posh spent £22,000 in Harrods before Christmas on a miniature hummer for Brooklyn.

>> Lincoln Navigator
Price: £27,500 + import costs
Body: 4WD
Engine: 5000 cc V8
0-60: 9.5 seconds
Maximum speed: 106 mph
Fuel consumption: 13.0 mpg
Torque: 360 lb/ft²
Becks probably requires a ladder to get into this huge, black pick-up truck. The Navigator is famed for its bad-boy leather and chrome biker image. However, the left-hand drive is not particularly user-friendly on British roads. Forbidden to ride a motorcycle for insurance reasons, this beast is the closest the football star will come to riding a two-wheel Harley.

>> Bentley Arnage
Price: £170,000
Body: Saloon
Engine: 6761 cc V8
0-60: 5.8 seconds
Maximum speed: 168 mph
Fuel capacity: 100 litres
Fuel consumption: 13.7 mpg
Torque: 645 lb/ft²
The car of choice for the rich and famous. Twice the price of an unmodified S-Class Merc, with luxury leather seats, this is Becks' status symbol. The engine is so powerful he had to add a limiter to the speed gauge, set at 125mph. According to reports, he describes his flash cruiser as a "tank powered by rockets".

>> Jaguar XK8
Price: £59,715
Body: Convertible
Engine: 4196 cc V8
0-60: 6.6 seconds
Maximum speed: 155 mph
Fuel capacity: 75 litres
Fuel consumption: 24.7 mpg
Torque: 310 lb/ft²
Becks has stayed true to his roots with the XK8. The lavish addition to the Jaguar range has a classic, opulent design and excels at high-speed cruising. The manufacturer may now be owned by American giants Ford but in terms of style it's very much a British car, in every sense of the word.

>> BMW X5
Price: £58,025
Body: 4WD
Engine: 4799 cc V8
0-60: 6.1 seconds
Maximum speed: 153 mph
Fuel capacity: 93 litres
Fuel consumption: 20.4 mpg
Torque: 368 lb/ft²
Surprisingly spacious for a 4x4, Beckham uses this powerful specimen to transport his bodyguards, personal assistants, nannies, and other household regulars at Beckingham Palace. Secrecy glass and enormous alloys come as standard.

>> Chrysler Grand Voyager
Price: £32,020
Body: MPV people carrier
Engine: 3301 cc V6
0-60: 11.8 seconds
Maximum speed: 111 mph
Fuel capacity: 75 litres
Fuel consumption: 22.0 mpg
Torque: 210 lb/ft²
Beckham famously used his new Voyager to take his family to Brooklyn's third birthday bash at a special screening of animated movie Monsters, Inc. Posh almost wrote the car off in 2002 after narrowly missing a six-car motorway pile-up. No such luck for the mega-jeep which received a very large dent down the one side.

>> Aston Martin DB7
Price: £112,000
Body: Convertible
Engine: 5935 cc V12
0-60: 5.0 seconds
Maximum speed: 186 mph
Fuel capacity: 85 litres
Fuel consumption: 17.1 mpg
Torque: 420 lb/ft²
The jewel in Beckham’s crown. The Vantage Volante is the latest incarnation in Aston Martin's DB series, made famous by numerous starring roles in the James Bond films. With hand-built craftsmanship, it is considerably lighter than previous models. Add that 450bhp V12 engine and it's the quickest car in Becks' garage!

Other cars owned by the England captain include the TVR Cerbera, Mercedes SLK, Range Rover Vogue, Porsche 911 Turbo 993, Land Rover 4.6 HSE, F550M, Ford F series pick up, Conti GT, Cherry red Vanquish and Lamborghini Gallardo.

well, I'm still finding another cars on the net he has, so.......
he lives at Beckingham Palace

He definatelly has the A8. Real Madrid is sponsored by Audi and each player got a car of his choice. Ronaldo did the sensible thing and chose an RS6

True that he got rid of the gallardo...he said that it was prone to damage and was fed up with getting it fixed all the time.

I also saw that he bought a red diablo VT 6.0 L although I never saw any reports of him actually driving it...I would suspect if he didnt like the gallardo then theres no way at all that he would have enjoyed driving the diablo.
