For Sale at Auction: 2008 Maybach 57 in Scottsdale, Arizona

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.
