An insanely lavish, ultra-rare car Floyd Mayweather bought for $4.8 million will be up for auction

Would you like to own an ultra-rare supercar that previously belonged to Floyd Mayweather? Well, here’s your chance.

All you need is several truckloads of Mayweather backpacks filled with cash.

Mayweather’s 2010 Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita from the Ash Crest Collection, which he purchased for an astounding $4.8 million, will be up for auction the weekend of Aug. 16-19 in Monterey, Calif., through Mecum Auctions.

Here’s the description of the car from the Mecum Auctions YouTube page (check out the video above, too):

As one of only two built and the only example completed to U.S. market specification, this 2010 Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita from the Ash Crest Collection is one of the most exclusive cars on Earth, even in the rarified world of elite supercars. Its previous owner, professional boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, paid $4.8 million for the car. It was worth every penny for any number of reasons, the most striking one being its incredible “Diamond Weave” carbon-fiber finish that literally sparkles like millions of fine diamonds when exposed to the sun’s light. Its very creation is symbolic of Koenigsegg’s deep commitment to creating the world’s greatest automobiles.

“Literally sparkles like millions of fine diamonds.” And you’re telling me there’s another one of these out there? Incredible.

The auction estimate is between $2.7-$3 million, which I guess is a bargain? But damn.

Mayweather (49-0 boxing) will fight Conor McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) on Aug. 26 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in a pay-per-view event expected to be the most lucrative prize fight of all time.
