The former NBA player surprises off the court, now with a luxury vehicle that reflects his passion for luxury.
The all-electric roadster is clad in a silver and blue bodywork, with a brown leather-trimmed interior. It generates a staggering 1,900 horsepower and an impressive 1,726 newton-meters (Nm) of torque, allowing it to go from 0 to 100 km/h in 1.86 seconds and reach a top speed of 350 km/h. Its range is a generous 480 km. on a single charge.
As befits someone who enjoys a good cigar, the custom hypercar includes an aluminum humidor and a custom-made cigar holder, located between the seats.
The Battista is the first exotic sports car to come from the famed Italian coachbuilder and design house, which is now owned by Indian automaker Mahindra , known for its rugged off-road vehicles. Named after the company’s founder Battista «Pinin» Farina , it is said to be the most powerful road-legal car ever produced in Italy — and it’s all-electric, too.
Its sleek carbon-fiber exterior is Ferrari -like in terms of its striking visual elements, with graceful curves running across the car from front to back. The doors are hinged at the top and open forward and up. At the rear, there’s a large, thin, two-panel spoiler. The interior is appropriately high-tech, with multiple screens and the ability to choose fake engine sounds that play inside the cabin.
As expensive as the one-off Pininfarina may be , it’s reportedly not the most expensive vehicle in the NBA Hall of Famer’s personal fleet . That honor goes to a $3.5 million Venom F5 Roadster that His Airness acquired in 2023. Jordan also co-owns the 23XI racing team alongside three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin ( pronounced “twenty-three eleven,” the name combines MJ ’s Chicago Bulls jersey number and Hamlin ’s Cup Series car number ).
