When you stand 216 cm tall, finding a car that fits is no easy task. But Shaquille O’Neal was not prepared to settle for cramped interiors. Instead, he turned to California-based workshop Effortless Motors to create a one-of-a-kind Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06, stretched by half a metre to suit his frame.
The result is officially the longest Corvette ever built. Its doors are enormous, the wheelbase rivals that of a limousine, yet the powerhouse under the bonnet remains unchanged, a 670-horsepower V8 engine capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.6 seconds, with a top speed of 314 km/h.
There is, however, a catch: the roofline was not raised, leaving Shaq’s head still brushing against the ceiling. This is not his first automotive experiment either. To make room for this supercar, the former NBA star even sold his Tesla Cybertruck.
A video of the car’s delivery is already going viral on social media, with fans debating whether this machine is still a supercar or more of a mini-limousine. The only lingering question is: what would Shaq look like in a half-metre longer Chevrolet Cobalt?
