Michael Jordan's emotionally absorbing documentary The Last Dance focused on the basketball superstar's career, especially his final year in the NBA playing for the Chicago Bulls, but gearheads might have been equally entertained by the wide range of 1980s and 1990s supercars Jordan pulled up to practice in. Jordan has always been famous for collecting some impressive vehicles and now, Beverly Hills Car Club has listed his 1996 Mercedes-Benz Lorinser for sale on eBay with documentation proving that this exact car formerly belonged to His Airness.
Celebrity Provenance
A photo of Jordan with the car accompanies the listing, as does a State of Illinois title dated 1/23/96 that lists Michael and Juanita Jordan as owners. The listing itself is relatively scant on details about this Lorinser-modified S600, though it should be powered by a stock 6.0-liter V12 that left the factory rated at 389 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. The Lorinser package was merely a body kit for the exterior.
Fit For A King
This exact vehicle actually showed up in Netflix's documentary series The Last Dance, as proven by its striking Green Black Metallic paint job and those 18-inch monoblock wheels, plus the widebody kit and dual exhaust. Amid other cars like Ferraris, Corvettes, and the slat-nose Porsche 911 Turbo that Jordan drove, this was probably the most comfortable for such a tall basketball star.
The car in question here has 157,000 miles on the clock, though how many of those Jordan himself drove remains a mystery. Beverly Hills Car Club owner Alex Manos is quoted in the listing saying, "Some people have signed basketballs or sneakers or photographs of the basketball giant. But how many people do you know who own Michael Jordans [sic] car? This is the Holy Grail of Michael Jordan memorabilia... The cool thing about the car is when you power on the car phone, Jordan's name shows up on the dashboard."
