Having Splurged $3,500,000 on a ‘Beast Machine’, Michael Jordan’s ‘1 of 30’ Hypercar Allegedly Set to Be Showcased to the World on August 18

Michael Jordan is a man of exquisite taste and is known for his impeccable selections. He’s a known car fanatic who has spent millions building his own collection. Until May, his most expensive car was a $2.25 Million Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir. However, all that changed when he received the delivery of his $3,500,000 Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster. Hennessey is only making 30 Roadsters; hence MJ had to get himself one of these beast machines. From the one image we have of it, Jordan has a customized Roadster.

We all know about MJ’s obsession with cars and how it dates back to before he joined the NBA. Jordan was about to blow up his Nike deal over a $40,000 Red Mercedes 380SL. Since then, it’s only been onward and upwards for Jordan’s car collection.

Even though we haven’t seen much of Michael Jordan’s car, that might change soon if what we’re interpreting from Hennessey’s post is right.

Michael Jordan might debut his Roadster during Monterey Car Week

Even though Michael Jordan received his car on his doorstep from the owner of Hennessey, there aren’t many images out there. From what experts deduced via that singular image, Jordan’s car has glossy carbon fiber and yellow pinstripes.

While we haven’t seen any more images come from Michael Jordan’s side, Hennessey just uploaded a post with an image of a carbon fiber hood of one of their cars. The caption read,

“Stay tuned as we unveil the world’s most exhilarating driving experience and the definitive expression of automotive craftsmanship.”

Along with that, the data on the post reads 08.18.23. This date coincides with the end of the Monterey Car Week. While there was no official confirmation that this was the hood of MJ’s car, considering only 30 of these were made, the chances of having the same colors on two different cars are rare.

We will have to wait till 18th August to know for sure.

MJ’s love for custom vehicles

The Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster is a beast. There are no doubts about it. We can all see why it appealed to Michael Jordan. Not only are there only 30 of these, but you can also customize them and make them 1 of 1.

However, it’s not only cars that MJ customizes. He has a custom Gulfstream G550 jet which cost him nearly $61 Million and an $8 Million yacht on the same theme as well. When one earns as Michael Jordan does, it’s only fair that they spend it on things that appeal to them.
