Behold ... one of the most rare and expensive cars in the world -- a $4.8 MILLION Koenigsegg -- and it's now of- ficially in Floyd May- weather's garage.
Mayweather was gunning to buy the ultra-exotic light- ning fast whip back in June -- and now, the deal is closed.
The car is a Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita -- one of only two of its kind in the entire world -- and goes from 0-60 in 2.9 seconds. It tops out at 250 miles per hour!
But don't call it a "super car" -- Floyd says it's technically a "Hyper car."

Atlanta Falcons WR Roddy White
Giants Confirm
To Undergo Procedure On Elbow
Safety Bennett Jackson Has Torn ACL, Out For Season
Atlanta Falcons wide re- ceiver Roddy White will un- dergo an elbow procedure, coach Dan Quinn told re- porters Sunday.
According to Falcons.com reporter Andrew Hirsh, it will be a minor procedure and White is expected back for week one of the regular sea- son.
White suffered the elbow injury last week, and missed Atlanta's second preseason game against the New York Jets. White has swelling in the elbow, causing the need for the procedure.
White, 33, also had his knee drained during minicamp ear- lier this year.
White has spent his entire

BENNETT JACKSON
The New York Giants con- firmed Sunday safety Bennett Jackson has a torn ACL and will be out for the season.
Jackson hurt his knee Sat- urday in a preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. In the same game, safety Justin Currie fractured his ankle, and he will also be out for the year, according to the New York Daily News's Ralph Vacchiano.
The Giants have faced a plague of injuries at the safety position. Fifth-round pick Mykkele Thompson will miss the 2015 season as well with a torn Achilles.
Safeties Landon Collins, Cooper Taylor and Nat Berhe have all missed time with various ailments. Giants coach Tom Coughlin said Sunday all three are expected to return to practice this week.
New York signed veteran safety Brandon Meri- weather on Aug. 16 to com- pensate for the injuries.
The Giants also announced Sunday linebacker Jon Bea- son has a sprained knee, suf- fered in Saturday's game.
Michael Jordan Awarded $8.9M For Store's Use Of Image
CHICAGO — Jurors at a civil trial focused on the market value of Michael Jordan’s identity handed him a major win Friday, ordering a gro- cery-store chain to pay him $8.9 million for invoking his name in a steak ad without his permission.
The amount was close to the $10 million his attorneys said the one-time use of his name was worth, and Jordan hugged his lawyers after the decision was read in a federal court in Chicago, where Jor- dan won six NBA titles with the Bulls.
"I'm so used to playing on a different court," a visibly de- lighted Jordan told reporters outside the courthouse. "This

shows I will protect my name to the fullest. ... It’s my name and I worked hard for it ... and I’m not just going to let some- one take it."
Jordan added that the case "was never about money" and that he’ll give the damages award to charities in Chicago.
