His Airness has owned several AMG Mercedes: the SL55 AMG, CL65 AMG and SLS AMG Gullwing. But his fastest silver arrow came not from Merc’s in-house performance department, but its partner in Formula One at the time: McLaren. Introduced in 2006, the 722 is a limited edition of the SLR supercar, built to honour the late Stirling Moss’ victory in the 1955 Mille Miglia with his Mercedes 300 SLR. His starting number was 722. A supercharged 5.4-litre supercharged V8 sits under the long bonnet, spitting out 641bhp. The five-time MVP’s machine is currently in Texas and up for sale at $695,750 (£506,350).
Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir (2010)
Since retiring from the court, the basketball legend has been very discreet with his purchases, but it’s been reported that he owns one of 12 Sang Noirs, or “black bloods”, a particularly exquisite edition of the EB 16.4 Veyron that was inspired by the night and the art deco Type 57S Atlantique and counts Drake among its other high-profile customers. Costing £1.6m, it hits 60mph in 2.6 seconds and can achieve a top speed of 253mph.
23XI Racing Toyota (2021)
Michael Jordan recently announced he’s starting a Nascar Cup team, fielding Bubba Wallace in the No23 Toyota for 2021. Wallace, 27, is one of the most successful African-American drivers in US stock car history and currently its only driver of colour, while Jordan is the first black majority owner of a Nascar team since Hall Of Famer Wendell Scott in the 1970s. “Growing up in North Carolina, my parents would take my brothers, sisters and me to races and I’ve been a Nascar fan my whole life,” MJ said in a statement. “The opportunity to own my own racing team in partnership with my friend, Denny Hamlin, and to have Bubba Wallace driving for us is very exciting for me. Historically, Nascar has struggled with diversity. I see this as a chance to educate a new audience and open more opportunities for black people in racing.”
