LOOK: Floyd buys $4.8-M 'hyper car'


American boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather flaunted his immense wealth anew, this time posting a picture of his newest car on Instagram.

Mayweather, who earned over $200 million for his "Fight of the Century" against Manny Pacquiao last May, revealed on social media that he purchased a Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita for $4.8 million.

"Koenigsegg is an ultra boutique automobile manufacturer for the super rich. Koenigsegg made only two Trevitas for the world, and this is no. 2 of 2," Mayweather said in the caption.

"In addition, it is the only USA spec Trevita built in the world… The word Trevita means '3 whites.' It is beyond a super car and is classified as a hyper car," he added.

According to the Koenigsegg website, the Trevita uses "white carbon fibre that shines like millions of diamonds when the sun hits the car… it's a stunning visual effect and one that Koenigsegg is unlikely to ever produce again."

Mayweather, the highest paid athlete in the world, is known as much for his lavish lifestyle as for his tremendous fighting skills. He recently sold his Ferrari Enzo for $3.8 million before purchasing the Koenigsegg, and regularly shows off his collection of shoes, watches, and vehicles on Instagram.
