Vehicle Description
Formerly owned by superstar basketball player Kevin "KD" Durant of
the Oklahoma Thunder (formerly Seattle SuperSonics), Golden State
Warriors, and currently the Brooklyn Nets, this 2008 Maybach 57S
was a fitting way for KD to celebrate his 2007-2008 Rookie of the
Year award with a $408,000 MSRP. This Type 57 S features the
stunning, 604hp engine specification as its 'S' designation
implies, in concert with a five-speed automatic transmission. As
offered, this Type 57 S remains a top-quality example of these
awesome, exclusive, and brilliant-performing luxury sedans.
Handsomely finished in Alpine Silver paint, this collector-grade
Maybach 57S retains impeccable originality, down to its
factory-applied identification/compliance stickers and under-hood
labels. Exceptionally maintained and preserved, the Maybach's
potent 6.0-liter V12 powerplant and surrounding engine bay remain
in virtually as-new, OEM condition and specification, consistent
with the rest of the vehicle. Features and passenger amenities are
simply beyond abundant, including the comfort of reclining rear
seats, a DVD entertainment system, and even a wet bar for the
ultimate in comfort and convenience while effortlessly travelling
at speed in luxurious serenity. Most recently, System X Max Ceramic
Nano Coating paint protection was applied, preserving the Maybach's
stunning paint finish for the long term with a 10-year
manufacturer's warranty included. With origins predating WW I, the
rights to the Maybach marque were acquired by Daimler-Benz in 1960.
Reactivated as a standalone brand in 2002 by DaimlerChrysler (now
Daimler AG), the Maybach 57 and long-wheelbase Maybach 62 were the
last word in luxury, power, and prestige. However, due to the
2008-2011 financial crisis, Maybach was placed on hiatus but
revived in November 2014 as a Mercedes-Benz S-Class sub-brand.
Assembly of the modern Maybach is conducted at the renowned
Sindelfingen production facilities in Germany, where elite
Mercedes-Benz models have been largely hand-built since the prewar
era.
