Price: $8 million
Country of Origin: Germany
Engine: V12 twin turbo
0-60 mph: 4.4 seconds
The
exelero, commissioned by the tyre company Fulda is a chopped-down
two-seater coupe. Though it is much more than just a show car. During
the tests at the Nardo high-speed oval, the model reached the top speed
of 218.38 miles per hour even though it weighed around 2.6 tonnes. It
can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 4.4 seconds. The
design of the car is the result of the competition among the students at
the Pforzheim Polytechnic Department of Transport Design which has
designed the show vehicles for Fulda during the past. The designing of
the 24 year old Fredrik Burchhard was selected and the entire work was
coordinated with Mayback design centre in Sindelfingen. Basing on the
Maybach 57 limousine the project required a certain amount of
re-engineering: the A-pillar and the doors were to be shifted backwards
and the steering column, the pedals and the gearshift had to be
relocated altogether. The benchmark 550- bhp v12 engine was prepared for
5.9 litres and tuned for 700 bhp with over 738 lb ft of torque. The
final dimensions which were 5890mm long, 2140mm wide and just 1390 mm
high the car was packed with a full-spec interior that included leather,
neoprene, aluminium and the carnbonfibre finishes. Rapper Bryan
“Birdman” Williams, reportedly spent $8,000,000 on the one-off Maybach
Exelero coupe. The rapper has a net worth of $125 million.
