Vinicius Junior has not hesitated in recent weeks to share with his followers one of his most particular possessions: a Maybach S Class conceived by a genius: Virgil Abloh.
We talk about artistic director of Louis Vuitton (and with collaborations with firms such as Nike, Levi’s either Jacob and Co), who before dying (already sick with cancer) worked with the star brand on two cars. a G-Class transformed into a sports car (yes, as you hear it) and the Custom Maybach S Class. And one of the few that were made of the latter rests in the Vini Jr’s garage.
For sale… right after his death
One of the peculiarities of this collaboration between the Stuttgart brand and the Illiniois genius was established by the author himself: the limited series of units for sale of His Maybach would only go on sale after his death. And so it was. Alboh died on November 28, 2021, a victim of angiosarcoma and the car was presented to the world in the Miami Design Weekin December 2021.
It is a Mercedes-Maybach S680 (with motor V12 of 680 horses). Its bodywork, 5.5 meterswas conceived in two tone: the top in black obsidian shiny and the lower one (forged wheels included) in a peculiar color sand.
An atmosphere that is repeated in the insidewhere black covers the roof and the albero style is used for the nappa leather. The signature is a joint specific logo of Maybach and Abloh which can be seen on separate plates on the center console (which also contains the unit number) and between the rear seats (two individual ones). Mercedes even customized some visual elements of the multimedia system to give an even more exclusive touch to this project.
All the virtues of the Maybach S-Class are covered in a special aura in this edition.
Customers who purchased one of these pieces received a special case to protect your ‘treasure’ and a individualized box in which to deposit the two vehicle keys and one replica of the Maybach at 1:18 scale. He price At the time it was not made public, but if we take into account that the base model It cost almost 275,000 euros By then… do the math.
With matching clothes
A lover of fashion like the Brazilian forward real Madrid He probably also looked for the clothes from the capsule collection that accompanied the launch of the car in its day. Mercedes-Benz and Abloh They created a pack with a square-cut t-shirt, two sweatshirts (one with an oversized hood and another with a round neck), gloves competition and a baseball cap. All of them in earth color to match the upholstery.
By the way… a car that (although older) competes directly in terms of comfort with the one the BMW, official sponsor of Real Madrid has given you for this season: the electric limousine i7.
