NBA legend Michael Jordan has been revealed as the buyer of a custom-made one-off Pininfarina that is valued at over $2 million.
The 61-year-old has been an avid car lover and collector throughout his lifetime including the extremely rare 30 Venom F5 Roadster, which Jordan bought for a whopping $3.5m in May of 2023.
Jordan's new car, known as the 'Pininfarina Battista Targamerica' is decked out in a silver-and-blue exterior with a tan interior, and even features an aluminum cigar holder and humidor between the front seats.

The car is no slouch with Pininfarina claiming the engine can generate around 1,900 horsepower, which is almost double that of a modern-day Formula 1 car.
Jordan's love for sports cars is not a new hobby, as he was often seen turning up to his NBA games in luxury cars throughout his time at the Chicago Bulls.
The NBA star is also reported to have bought seven cars in one day during his rookie season.

The car was initially unveiled in mid-August at Monterey Car Week, with the Italian manufacturer saying it had been purchased by a 'renowned car collector and existing Battista owner.'
Jordan was later confirmed as the new owner after the car was delivered to him in October through Pininfarina's Instagram account.
Alongside a photo of Jordan and his new toy, they wrote: "Today, we celebrate a truly special moment—the delivery of a bespoke, coach-built Battista, crafted in Italy with passion for a dear friend.
"This one-off masterpiece embodies the pinnacle of design and engineering excellence, the result of a remarkable journey shared together. We are grateful to have brought this unique vision to life."

While a $2 million custom-made car may seem like a rather extreme purchase, that kind of money is a drop in the ocean to Jordan, who has an extraordinary net worth of around $3.5 billion.
