There's no hint of McGregor losing focus ahead of his March 5 bout at UFC 197 though, with his training maintaining its intensity if the ambitious fighter's social media persona is anything to go by.
His latest posts include shadow boxing in front of the mirror with Tupac's Gangsta Party blaring in the background and beating up on a heavy bag with the car not-so-subtley in the background.
While it's not confirmed if McGregor has bought, rented or borrowed the flaming white supercar, he has form for splashing out big ahead of a major fight - he bought a BMW i8 and a Mercedes-Benz for around £307,000 ahead of his 13-second title-winning fight against Jose Aldo.
The Irishman is now attempting to become the first to hold two UFC belts at the same time.
An intriguing new plotline in McGregor's rear-view mirror is the return of UFC Hall of Famer BJ Penn to the Octagon, coming out of his July 2014 retirement.
Penn has joined Greg Jackson's camp and is eyeing up the featherweight belt McGregor won from Aldo at the Las Vegas Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, the venue he returns to in March.
"The motivation? I want to go get that 145 pound belt. That's definitely a huge motivation for me," Penn said on The MMA Hour.
While he doesn't mention McGregor by name, the pulling power of the Irishman - who's hugely popular in not only Ireland and the UK but in the States - and the money associated can't hurt.
Success in his mission would make him a three-weight champion.
"I believe with Greg Jackson's help I can get that done, and that I can walk away the only man with three titles in three weight divisions," Penn said.
