Basketball mogul Ben Simmons is travelling in style while back in Melbourne, sitting behind the wheel of one of the most desirable luxury cars in the country.

Simmons, who inked a $240 million five-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers NBA franchise, is motoring between engagements and basketball training camps in a new Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Badge.

The exclusive vehicle comes at a price in excess of $800,000.

The Black Badge is a Roll-Royce special edition.

The sleek, sexy two-door coupe, in dark, metallic purple, special-order colour called Belladonna, seats four people and features doors hinged from behind the driver.

Simmons picked up the car from Zagame Rolls-Royce in Richmond last week and will use it during his two-week break in Melbourne.

He is well-acquainted with Rolls-Royce cars and it is no surprise he has chosen to roll in a roller while in Melbourne.
