Michael Jordan's Car Collection Includes Some Very Expensive Vehicles
By MARK COWLEY
Bugatti
The Bugatti Veyron redefined the hypercar class and set new world records with 1,000 horsepower on tap from its W16 engine and a top speed of 253 mph.
Michael Jordan’s is a one-of-12 special edition Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir (which translates as "black blood") with an all-black interior. It cost him a reported $2.25 million.
Porsche
One of Jordan's most famous vanity plates, “AIR,” was found on the back of his red Porsche 911 993 Turbo S. Only 345 units of the car were ever built.
The Turbo S' flat-six engine packed 424 horses thanks to upgraded turbochargers and an additional oil cooler, making it the most powerful model in the 993 lineup.
Ferrari
The Ferrari 550 Maranello has 485 horsepower on tap, was designed to encourage Ferrari owners to drive their cars more, without compromising on their performance abilities.
Jordan bought one almost as soon as it was released — and he also reportedly gave one to fellow Bulls teammate Scottie Pippen as a Christmas present in 1997.
Mercedes-Benz
Jordan’s Mercedes-Benz S600 Lorinser was customized for him by the company to include 24-inch chrome wheels.
The car was put up for auction in 2020, and it sold for $202,200, breaking the record for the most valuable S600 ever sold. A Beverly Hills is currently selling it for $135,000.
Ferrari
Jordan reportedly used to sit on his Ferrari 512 TR with a lit cigar in full view of the opposing team getting off their bus to imply he was already celebrating a win.
It might have been an intimidation tactic for rival players, but the 512 TR would also have been pretty intimidating for any driver to see in their rearview mirror.
