Michael Jordan’s Multimillion-Dollar 1,900-Horsepower Sports Car Unveiled: Exclusive Features Include Custom Cigar Holder, Roof

Michael Jordan’s passion for high-end cars is as legendary as his basketball career. Jordan, who has an estimated net worth of $3.5 billion, has been collecting rare and exotic vehicles for years. His collection includes some of the world’s most coveted supercars, from Ferraris and Lamborghinis to a custom-built Venom F5 Roadster that set him back $3.5 million earlier this year. His latest acquisition, the Pininfarina Battista Targamerica is a one-of-a-kind model — and costs at least $2 million.

While reports estimate the car to be $2 million, Auto Evolution reports that Jordan wanted to keep the cost quite. Considering the customization, that car could have topped the estimated amount.

Under the Hood

This flashy vehicle boasts a sleek silver-and-blue exterior, a plush tan interior, and some truly unique personalizations. A custom aluminum cigar holder and humidor, perfectly placed between the front seats, caters to Jordan’s well-documented passion for cigars, a habit he’s carried with him since his Chicago Bulls days.

The Battista Targamerica is not just about style — it’s a performance beast. With 1,900 horsepower and 1726 foot-pounds of torque from its four-motor, all-electric powertrain, the car delivers speed at the mere touch of the pedal. It was also designed exclusively for the six-time NBA champion, according to Auto Evolution.

Italian design house Pininfarina designed the auto as one-off creation. The car, which has an open roof, was crafted to fit Jordan’s size of 6 feet 6 inches.

The car actually was debuted at the Monterey Car Week in mid-August, but Jordan, 61, wasn’t revealed as the owner. He added to his collection that includes a $3.5 million Venom F5 Roadster, which he purchased earlier this year.

Jordan’s latest acquisition is another example of how his competitive spirit extends beyond the basketball court, into his ventures as a co-owner of 23XI Racing in NASCAR and his impressive car collection. But Jordan’s dealings with NASCAR have hit a major snag. Jordan’s team and Front Row Motorsports have filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR and its chairman, Jim France. The lawsuit challenges the restrictive charter system that teams argue unfairly limits competition and revenue sharing, AP reports.The teams claim NASCAR’s monopolistic practices hurt their profitability, and they’re seeking damages while pushing for a more equitable system. Jordan and team owners say they aim to create a more competitive market for all teams, drivers, and sponsors.
