What Was Meant to Be Shaq’s Dream Ferrari Turns Into a $350K Wet Mess

Basketball icon Shaquille O’Neal recently shared that his most regrettable investment was his unusual Franken-Ferrari.In a podcast with BeatBox Beverages—a cocktail brand he has partnered with to launch his signature Blueberry Lemonade flavor—Shaq recounted how he purchased two Ferraris to create a unique vehicle tailored for his towering 7-foot, 320-pound physique. He transformed a real Ferrari and a salvage model into an elongated version and even eliminated the roof for added height.“I merged two Ferraris and ended up flooding it during a Florida downpour,” he humorously revealed. Specifically, reports state one was a silver F355, and the other, a red 360 Modena, which served as the parts donor.Estimates suggest the Franken-Ferrari cost approximately $350,000. Despite its whimsical customization, the floods marked an unfortunate end for this ill-fated transformation. Shaq, whose net worth exceeds $500 million, continues to thrive in business ventures and remains a cultural icon.
