Michael Jordan bought a Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster, 300 mph car worth $3 million
Michael Jordan, once again, is in rarefied air.
The former NBA star recently acquired a Hennessey Venom F5 Roadster.
A photo posted on Hennessey Performance’s Instagram account shows Jordan with CEO John Hennessey and the convertible car, which has 1,817 horsepower.
“Today was a special day,” the caption reads. “Such an honor to build a special Venom F5 for a special friend.”
Only 30 of the cars were made, per Robb Report. According to the report, the car can reach speeds in excess of 300 mph, and the vehicle is priced at $3 million. The company has called it “the world’s fastest and most powerful convertible.”
“We created the Venom F5 to be the ultimate expression of a hypercar,” John Hennessey said in a statement when the car was announced. “Our 1,817 bhp ‘Fury’ engine screams behind the exposed cockpit, with its roar unobstructed by a roof—it is an unmatched automotive experience.”
Jordan is no stranger to fast cars.
He is a co-owner of the 23XI Racing NASCAR Cup Series team, which fields cars for Bubba Wallace and Tyler Reddick.
