Seems like carmaker Audi is getting a little free press from soccer superstar David Beckham.

After leaving the practice grounds, Beckham was spotted driving away in a new, black Audi S8, the Daily Mail reports. 

The S8 is a mechanically-upgraded, high-performance version of the Audi A8. The car's sticker price is in the hard-to-afford range, with the base model starting around $120,000.

The car packs a powerful V8 engine that can speed from a fill stop to 62 mph in 4.2 seconds. Beckham was seem signing a few autographs for fans after practice in Paris before driving away in the S8, the Daily Mail reported.

The 37-year-old footballer relocated to Paris to play for Paris St. Germain.

It was unclear whether Beckham has invested in the car or if he is renting it. Both are plausible ideas, as Beckham's family is based out of London and the soccer star spends time between both cities, the article said.

Beckham is well-acquainted with the German brand Audi. The company was a sponsor for Real Madrid when Beckham played for the team; then he drove an Audi Q7. He was also seen driving an Audi RS Avant during his time at Real Madrid, the article stated.

Beckham is often seen cruising around in an equally pricey Range Rover. The SUVs are a favorite family car for David and his wife Victoria Beckham, the Daily Mail said.

The celebrity fashion designer played a role in the development of the Range Rover Evoque.
