Limited-Edition Maybach S-Class
Feature Virgil Abloh
Words by Kyle Mckenzie

Pairing Virgil Abloh’s streetwear sensibility with Maybach’s luxury tradition might seem unlikely. Yet, it was in this space of contrasts that their collaboration thrived. Reinterpreting luxury was the goal, and there was no one better than V himself.

The car's exterior combines Maybach's timeless elegance with the edginess that Virgil championed. With its streamlined form, rugged silhouette, and contemporary color scheme. Virgils signature 'transparency' approach are features apart of the design, adding a distinct identity. After the conceptual success -- Benz announced that a total of 150 units would be made (available globally).

Abloh's design language is pronounced in the meticulous material choices, contrasting hues, and design approach that are both functional and aesthetically exceptional.
