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.

At 23, the ex-boyfriend of model and reality TV star Kendall Jenner is both legitimate Rolls-Royce fan and genuine sports star.
