Michael Jordan’s Mercedes-Benz SLR 722 Hits The Market With A $650k Price Tag

With a reported net worth of $3.2 billion, it comes as no surprise that Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest basketballer of all time, has owned many impressive cars over the years. One of them was a rare 2007 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition and that car is now looking for a new home.

Mercedes-Benz built just over 2,100 examples of the SLR McLaren between 2003 and 2010. All versions are loved but it’s the limited-run 722 Edition that’s proven to be particularly valuable. It was introduced to celebrate the ‘722’ starting number of Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson at the 1955 Mille Miglia, offering more power than the standard car, while also looking a little different.

Like the regular SLR McLaren, the 722 Edition rocks a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 but rather than producing 617 hp and 575 lb-ft (780 Nm), it’s good for 641 hp and 605 lb-ft (820 Nm). The 722 also has distinctive 19-inch wheels, bigger brakes, a new carbon fiber front splitter, and it’s a little lighter than the standard model. Mercedes said it could hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.6 seconds and 124 mph (200 km/h) in 10.2 seconds at the time of its release.

Production of the 722 was limited to just 150 examples. Miami dealer TBTFW is selling Jordan’s old car, noting that it’s painted in Crystal Antimon Grey Metallic. There’s no word on how long the NBA legend owned it, nor when he parted ways with it, but we can see it has a touch over 15,100 miles (~24,300 km) under its belt.

Like other 722s, the interior is dressed in plush black leather, Alcantara, red contrast stitching, and carbon fiber. The car looks mostly stock, although it has been fitted with aftermarket wheels from Anrky.

TBTFW is asking $649,995 for the car. That’s a lot of money but a look at auction results for similar 722 models over recent years shows that some (admittedly low-mileage cars) have traded hands for upwards of $700,000.
