NBA legend Michael Jordan’s car collection is as epic as his NBA career. He has various C4 Corvettes in his garage including a 40th edition C4 Corvette ZR1. Moreover, he also has a Porsche 930 Turbo Cabriolet, Ferrari 550 Maranello, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Mercedes-McLaren SLR 722 Edition, and a Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir.
On top of all that firepower, Michael Jordan recently added a certified American classic to his garage. It is Hennessey’s Venom F5. Taking to Instagram, the official handle of the company posted a photo of Jordan’s new car along with the man himself.
The caption read, “Today was a special day. Such an honor to build a special Venom F5 for a special friend”. The car is built in Texas and has some of the best features in the car industry.
With 1,817 horsepower and 8,000 rpm, the car is built for pure speed. Interestingly, this is the world’s most powerful production road car.
It has a huge price tag of $3,50,000 but considering Michael Jordan’s billionaire status, spending that amount of money will not be a problem. Dishing out an absurd amount of money for a car is nothing new for the NBA Hall of Famer. He once spent $650k on a car with only 150 units in the world.
As the news about Jordan’s new purchase does the rounds of the internet, NBA fans on Instagram have pointed out an intriguing detail.
