Michael Jordan's Manual-Gearbox V-12 Heads to Auction

· 1 min read

A Ferrari 550 Maranello once owned by Michael Jordan is coming up for sale, and it carries the two things Ferrari collectors chase hardest: a naturally aspirated V-12 and a stick shift. Six NBA championships aside, it turns out His Airness picked a car built for driving, not display — the kind of enthusiast's spec that tends to bring the room to its feet when the gavel comes down. Bidders are watching closely, with the sale expected to set a new mark for the model.

With reporting from Car and Driver.
