NBA icon Shaquille O'Neal has received an extraordinary "first of its kind" supercar - thanks in part to LeBron James.

After making big money from his basketball career and various other successful business ventures, 'Shaq' has never been afraid to splash the cash.

He is said to have a net worth of more than $500 million and recently added a new purchase to his impressive car collection.

'Diesel' forked out for a second Tesla Cybertruck and used the services of Effortless Motors, who are referring to the vehicle as 'Cyberbeast'.

The Beast model comes with a whole host of features like a wide body kit, carbon fibre construction, 26-inch rims and three electric motors to give a combined a 834 horsepower.

Shaq already had a Cybertruck in Las Vegas but went ahead and added another for his Atlanta home.

"I'm missing my Cybertruck but I don't want to ship it from Vegas to Atlanta," Shaq said on FaceTime, ordering the new whip.

"So I'm just going to go ahead and buy another one, so I'mma need another one."

He enlisted the help of Effortless Motors, who provided full customization which including wrapping it black-on-black and ensuring his 7ft 1, 325lb frame fit perfectly.

Car and Driver say the Beast version is worth around $101,985, with Vinyl Frog estimating that wrapping the vehicle would cost somewhere between $4,000 and $6,000.

Upon seeing the vehicle in the flesh for the first time, Shaq was astonished and said, "Damn, I hate to say it - I got the cleanest Cybertruck in the country!".

He then proceeded to give props to fellow NBA great James, with the four-time NBA champion saying, "I want to say thank you to my boy Bron, Bron appreciate you."

Shaq became aware of the dealership after James claimed they lied about selling him a Bugatti and called the company "clout chasers".

The 52-year-old then got in touch and entered business with Effortless.

"Bron was upset that one of the secretaries post that they sold him a car," he said back in July on The Big Pod with Shaq podcast.

"A couple young cats trying to get marketing business. But I said, you know what? If Bron could fit in the car and he don’t want it, let me holler."
