Former Liverpool player Milan Baros has set a new speeding record after being clocked at nearly 170 miles per hour in his Ferrari.
The Czech striker, now of Lyon, was stopped by police on a motorway between Lyon and Geneva in the French region of Ain.
Authorities said the radar reading of 271km/h (168.4mph) was the fastest speed ever recorded in the region, easily beating the 248km/h (154mph) set by a motorcyclist in 2000.
Baros told police that he wanted to let his passenger "hear the sound of a Ferrari engine".
The 26-year-old had his black Ferrari 430 and licence confiscated and now faces a three-year driving ban. He had to take a taxi back to Lyon.
Colonel Claude Loron said: "The policeman had to take action because he did not believe his eyes when he saw the speed registered by the radar. It is a speed record for this area."
Former Lyon forward Sylvain Wiltord was apprehended at training last season after being clocked driving 152km/h (94mph) in a 90km/h (55mph) zone.
Authorities said the radar reading of 271km/h (168.4mph) was the fastest speed ever recorded in the region, easily beating the 248km/h (154mph) set by a motorcyclist in 2000.

Well, 7 years ago so he's probably got his license back now. He can have another go if he wants.
