German-based engineering firm Xenatec cooperating with Maybach to create a two-door version of the Maybach 57S. The 57S Coupe special will be built in a strictly limited number of 100 examples each priced from a hefty €650,000 or about US$805,000 at today’s exchange rates.
Some changes for a coupe with the redesign A-, B- and C-columns with the second column moved back by 200mm, a more raked roofline, restyled front and rear ends, and a slightly wider body while retaining the same 3.39m-long wheelbase as the sedan model. The extended wheel arches of the car are filled in with newly designed 20- or optionally 21-inch alloy wheels.
The four-seater 57S Coupe keeps the standard Maybach S’ 6.0-liter bi-turbocharged V12 with 612HP (for the record, in the latest facelift output has been upped to 630HP), so expect about 5.0 seconds for the standard 0-100km/h (62mph) sprint and a top speed somewhere around 275km/h or 171mph.
