Known for his bombastic behavior both inside and outside the ring, UFC star Conor McGregor continues that tradition by showing off his newest ride, a Rolls-Royce Phantom Masonry. Customized with plenty of black outside and in, plus subtle gold accents, it’s obviously not a cheap ride nor something you ride in unnoticed.
Dana White proves he doesn’t know how to drive classic muscle cars.
But McGregor had to show the ultra-luxury car he calls his “new Dubai whip” on Instagram for all to see. Of course, his post drew both praise and mockery, which is just about right for whenever the man speaks or does anything publicly.
Because it was customized by Masonry, we already expected the Phantom was exceptionally expensive. But TMZ claims the purchase price was a whopping $1.3 million, which is up there even for a new Rolls-Royce Phantom.
We think McGregor can afford it no problem, even if it’s a car he only gets chauffeured in when visiting Dubai.
Based on a Phantom Diamond Edition, it already started off pricey compared to the run-of-the-mill models. Once Masonry was finished with it, the Rolls features 24-inch monobloc wheels (which seem to be all the rage these days), an ambient illuminated grille, sports exhaust system, and is lowered for a more aggressive stance.
Plus, Masonry added some carbon-fiber parts, we guess to shave some of the weight off the behemoth limousine. Among them are the roof, rear spoiler, and rear bumper. Why the hood wasn’t swapped out is a mystery, because it’s long and likely adds quite a bit to the curb weight.
While McGregor will be driven around Dubai in this “whip,” we wonder what he will use in his home country. After all, the man has announced he’s running for president of Ireland, so we would imagine he has something special to use for making appearances on the campaign trail.
