Michael Jordan and DJ Khaled know how to make an impression, and their second annual We The Best Foundation x Jordan Golf Classic was no exception. The event teed off with an exciting reception on Dec. 4, setting the stage for the much-anticipated golf tournament the following day in Miami. But this isn’t just your average golf event—it’s part of Khaled’s larger “We The Best Weekend,” culminating in a celebration at LIV on Dec. 6. The cherry on top? A jaw-dropping grand prize: a Rolls-Royce Spectre, a luxury EV with a starting price of $422,750.

DJ Khaled took to his Instagram and wrote: “I’ll be pulling up soon at the @wethebestfoundation @jumpman23 reception dinner/auction/celebration. Welcome to MIAMI. Oh yeah, did I mention you win a Rolls-Royce Spectre if you get a hole-in-one tomorrow at the golf classic? See you at the reception tonight.”

But there’s more to this tournament than just a shiny prize. For Khaled, it’s all about giving back. Before the golfers hit the greens, Khaled and his foundation teamed up with Snipes to present a $25,000 check to Fore Life Inc., a South Florida non-profit using golf to empower at-risk youth. But now let’s talk about Michael Jordan and DJ Khaled’s grand prize for a second because the Rolls-Royce Spectre isn’t just any car.

As of December 2, 2024, Rolls-Royce’s net worth is estimated to be $60.3 billion. The car is the billion-dollar company’s first fully electric vehicle, and the company plans to replace its entire lineup with EVs by 2030. The Spectre’s starting price of $422,750 doesn’t just get you a car—it gets you an experience. From personalized paint jobs to customized interiors, Rolls-Royce lets you create a ride that screams individuality. And for Khaled’s tournament, the Spectre flaunted a warm orange finish—a bold choice for a bold event.

Inside, the Spectre feels like stepping into another world. It seats four comfortably, with bucket seats in both rows and rear-hinged coach doors for easy entry. Rolls-Royce sticks to its signature interior vibe but adds a few surprises exclusive to the Spectre. It’s all about blending tradition with innovation.

What’s your perspective on:

Is a Rolls-Royce Spectre the ultimate prize, or just a flashy distraction from the real game?

Have an interesting take?

And here’s the showstopper: the door panels. They light up like a starry night, mirroring the brand’s iconic, twinkling headliner. Combine that with limitless personalization options, and you’ve got a car that’s more art than an automobile.

Under the hood—or rather, beneath the sleek exterior—this beauty packs serious power. A dual-motor setup delivers 577 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque, while adaptive suspension ensures a smooth ride. Plus, the engineers went all out with soundproofing, creating an ultra-quiet cabin perfect for those who prefer serenity over speed.

The Spectre is so silent, even at 80 mph, that the faintest wind noise barely disrupts the peace. Tests show it hits a remarkable 63 dB at 70 mph, proving it’s not just luxurious but also insanely refined.

And for speed, the Rolls-Royce Spectre can hit 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds. Sure, a Tesla Model S Plaid might blow past that with its 2.1-second sprint, but here’s the thing—this isn’t about speed, it’s all about a luxurious smooth glide. The Spectre’s 102.0-kWh battery, borrowed from the BMW i7, offers up to 266 miles of range on those sleek 23-inch wheels. It’s more about sipping electricity than guzzling it, giving you an eco-friendly ride.

Speaking of eco-friendly, DC fast-charging comes standard, but Rolls-Royce owners can also install private charging systems at their estates. On the efficiency side, the EPA gives the Spectre an impressive 77 MPGe in the city and 86 MPGe on the highway. And for safety? Rolls-Royce doesn’t cut corners. Features like automated emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assist come standard.

Now, let’s talk tech. The Spectre keeps it classy with a touchscreen infotainment system and a digital gauge display seamlessly tucked into its plush dashboard. Everything feels polished and non-intrusive. And if you’re an audiophile, you’re in for a treat—a Bespoke Audio stereo system with sleek aluminium speaker grilles takes your tunes to the next level.

Before the tournament teed off, DJ Khaled and the We The Best Foundation threw an exclusive reception at Casadonna, bringing together even more star power. Celebs like N.O.R.E., Ice Spice, Winnie Harlow, and Jeff Hamilton joined the festivities, setting the tone for an unforgettable weekend.

The event started with some fire beats from DJ Nasty, setting the mood as stars like Scarface, Uncle Luke, Anthony Anderson, and Angie Martinez rolled in. Big names like Mike WiLL Made-It, Jeezy, Jermaine Dupri, and Jimmy Butler were also in the mix, making their way to the 18-hole golf course. With sponsors like Michael Jordan’s Jordan brand, Wendy’s, and Cincoro Tequila onboard, there were plenty of activations and fun for everyone—golf, food, and drinks, all under the Miami sun.
