WWE star John Cena is being sued by Ford after they say he flipped his rare, $500,000, 2017 Ford GT.
In the suit, Ford claims Cena was hand picked from thousands of applicants to purchase the car but violated his contract with the company that said he would not to sell it for at least two years.
In the suit, according to TMZ, Ford says Cena sold the car, of which only 1,000 were built, for a huge profit.

The WWE star was hand selected from thousands of applicants to buy the car for $500,000 but Ford says Cena violated his purchase agreement and flipped it before he was permitted
‘Mr. Cena has unfairly made a large profit from the unauthorized resale flip of the vehicle, and Ford has suffered additional damages and losses, including, but not limited to, loss of brand value, ambassador activity, and customer goodwill due to the improper sale,’ the complaint states.
Ford is wants Cena to hand over all the profits from the sale.
They are also asking for damages.
Cena told the company he sold off the car along with other property to pay his bills.
In fairness, watching the hulking wrestler test the car on his YouTube channel Auto Geeks- he barely fits inside the thing.

The super car’s super features include a ecoboost V6 engine, and Cena says it is made entirely of carbon fiber, making it an extremely light vehicle.
It is held on the ground by an aerodynamic ‘buttress.’
The inside is also made from carbon fiber, which as Cena explains ‘makes it a race car… that you can put a license plate on… which is really fun.’
Astros pitcher Justin Verlander and NASCAR driver Joey Logano also own the whip.
