Once owned by the G.O.A.T himself!
What’s better than buying an ultra-exclusive supercar that honors a truly historic collaboration between two industry giants? The answer is a supercar owned by one of the greatest athletes and influential figures ever. The car in question is Mercedes-Benz’s SLR McLaren, and the athlete happens to be none other than NBA legend Michael Jordan. The team at TBTFW is proud to present Michael Jordan’s former 2007 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition as part of its extensive inventory of exotic cars and SUVs for sale on duPont REGISTRY. With an impressive car collection that puts Michael Jordan in the upper echelon of collectors, the SLR McLaren had been accompanied by other coveted cars like the Hennessey Venom F5, Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari 512 Testarossa, and many more.
The SLR represented a historic time in supercar engineering when Mercedes-Benz and McLaren partnered to create one of the fastest production cars using each manufacturer’s F1 expertise. Michael Jordan’s SLR Mclaren is more desirable than the 2,157 examples made because it’s a 722 Edition, a special 1-of-150 configuration created as a tribute to Sir Stirling Moss. The 722 designation refers to Moss’ victory at the 1955 Mille Miglia alongside teammate Denis Jenkinson. This SLR McLaren comes finished in Crystal Antimon Grey Metallic with contrasting gloss carbon fiber trim. A set of brushed ANRKY wheels come wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires for an upgraded look and feel.
Opening the butterfly-style doors, the SLR McLaren reveals a sophisticated black leather and Alcantara cabin with vibrant red contrast stitching, resembling the colorways of Jordan’s Chicago Bulls. Carbon bucket seats even further place the SLR in a track-focused category of supercars, with the 722 logo proudly embroidered into each headrest. Exposed gloss carbon covers every open inch of its interior as a nod to its ultra-lightweight construction.
The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition packs a serious punch under the hood with its 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine, delivering an impressive 641 horsepower and 605 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission, this powerhouse propels the SLR 722 from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds, with a top speed of 209 mph.
