Michael Jordan's $2.5m sports car revealed with staggering bespoke features

Basketball icon Michael Jordan already has his own NASCAR team, but now the NBA GOAT has an exclusive supercar of his own.

Jordan won six NBA championships in an illustrious career that saw him named the league's Most Valuable Player five times while also etching a legacy as the greatest basketball player ever.

Through his on-court earnings, investments and endorsement deals with the likes of Nike and Gatorade, the North Carolina native has amassed a staggering wealth.

Earlier this year, Forbes estimated the 61-year-old's net worth to be $3bn.

Such financial might allowed Jordan to purchase his own NASCAR team, 23XI, while he was also previously the owner of the Charlotte Hornets in the NBA.

One of his most recent lavish purchases has been revealed, a $2.5m sports car that includes an array of exclusive features, such as a bespoke cigar holder and humidor.

Unveiled this past August at the Monterey Car week, the Pininfarina Battista Targamerica has been called "a masterpiece of automotive craftsmanship".

A one-of-a-kind creation from Italian design house Pininfarina, the silver and blue electric hypercar boasts a staggering 1,900 horsepower and 2,340Nm of torque.

Its design is said to have been inspired by the 1986 Ferrari Testarossa Spider that was built for Gianni Agnelli to celebrate his 20th anniversary as chairman of Fiat.

Featuring a plush tan interior, the specially designed aluminium humidor – a feature that will have especially appealed to Jordan, a renowned cigar lover – sits between the car's two front seats.

Jordan's passion for luxury cars is well known. Back in his playing career, he'd often show up to Chicago Bulls home games in an array of expensive vehicles.

And earlier this year, the 61-year-old NBA legend purchased a Venom F-5 Roadster, an American-made sports car said to have cost a staggering $3.5m.

In his racing endeavours, though, Jordan has been disgruntled of late and has even filed an antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR, alleging unfair practices.

"Everyone knows that I have always been a fierce competitor, and that will to win is what drives me and the entire 23XI team each and every week out on the track," he said in a statement. "I love the sport of racing and the passion of our fans, but the way NASCAR is run today is unfair to teams, drivers, sponsors, and fans.

"Today's action shows I'm willing to fight for a competitive market where everyone wins."
