For sale is Gaddafi's untried MAYBACH Coupe

The then Libyan leader ordered a coupe version of the Maybach 57S from Xenatec, but he never drove it due to a web of circumstances.

A good ten years ago, he was the then Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi company Xenatec ordered him to make it to his liking a coupe version of Maybach 57S. At a German company Weinberg so the limousines removed the rear doors and it was created almost uniquely Xenatec Maybach 57S Coupe.

They were originally at Xenatec intended to produce 200 such specimens, but in the end all of them were created eight (or six if we consider another source). Gaddafi has the serial number 004, but with him Libyan autocrat he has never been seduced since in 2011 he was overthrown by former allies and killed, so he is Maybach remained in the company’s warehouse from close range Stuttgart.

That’s why it’s no surprise that he has everything on the counter 2.300 kilometers driven, making it the least driven of all known specimens, and correspondingly well preserved. The car otherwise weighs 2,7 tons, a six-liter V12 still provides sports acceleration. Inside, Gaddafi has not skimped, as the car has, among other things, a refrigerator in the second row, a CD and DVD player and even a heated steering wheel, which is probably not a very common option in Libya.

The Libyan dictator would have to pay for it in 2011 675 thousand euros, which is much more than the limousine cost at the time Maybach 57S, and today a Dutch car dealership Car Leitner for it intends to reap 961.950 euros.
