Trouble is, there are some people in this world, that can’t deal with anything but being unique, people like the British Royal family for example.

Since one of the family’s member is going to get married next week, it’s easy to excuse the contracting of British tuner Project Kahn, which should produce a unique Maybach 57 that will take part in the ceremony.

The contract was signed quite some time ago, and Project Kahn is so far along working on the royal Maybach 57 that they’ve been able to give us a taste of what’s going on on the outside.

Everything is dignified, which is weird when talking about a car with extremely tinted windows, 22 inch Kahn RS wheels and smoked taillights but weirdly, it is.

The color is really fitting for the sort of car a royal bride to be driven to church in but what I’d like to point attention to is the number plate this particular Maybach 57 will wear.

4HRH may not be easily apparent but it can be identified as “for his royal highness”. This is why, at the moment, that particular number plate is the most expensive one ever bought in Britain.

Even though that’s true, the German tuned coachbuilt uber-coupe will still be launched in the Swiss city.

This is definitely something weird and there are quite a few reasons rumored around for why the Xenatec Maybach Coupe will get this sort of debut.

The first of them and the least probable is about how Xenatec consider this special car too important for the regular crowds that might turn up at the Geneva Motor Show.

That’s less likely than the second reason which is related to how Maybach themselves are now present at the auto show.

If however you are genuinely interested in the Xenatec Maybach 57 S Coupe you should know that it is the world’s longest coupe measuring in at 5.73 meters.

The power comes from the same 6.0 liter V12 engine Maybach put in the the car when it leaves the factor. This is the unit which in the Maybach 57 S, develops 612 horsepower and 737 lb-ft of torque.

The performance given by this setup, even after losing the rear doors is not very relevant for the eventual owner but is critical to us.

The Xenatec Maybach 57 S Coupe has a top speed of 171 mph and because it has so much torque it bends the asphalt before you can measure a 0 to 60 time.

As to be expected this is a very impressive vehicle and as a result the nearly 1 million dollar price tag, even before taxes are considered.

The already legendary Maybach Exelero was copied again, this time by the Swiss from Lamborghini Geneva. The copy is made on the platform of Dodge Viper, uses a 8.3-liter V10 engine and a set of alloy 23 inches wheels. The price of a replica on the auction website Jameslist is 550,000 euros. Although it sounds a lot for a Dodge Viper, we must not forget that the only Maybach Exelero cost about 8 million dollars five years ago.

This engine of this model is a turbocharged engine with a supercharger and develops 800 hp power. The interior and exterior will be painted in the colors required by the buyer, a sign that the car has not been assembled yet, so the customer will have the opportunity to customize the maximum of all elements – as it should for a car of almost 600,000 euros.

Maybach bring today to audience maybe its last facelift, if the financial results do not improve in coming years. At the outside, the facelift brings a new chrome grille for the radiator, which varies depending on which version is installed, a redesigned hood, another front spoiler, modified side mirrors and new taillights.

The improvements brought by the Maybach engineering team changes also the overall dimensions, length being bigger with 11 mm and width with 17 mm. The aesthetic package is completed by a set of 19 inch alloy wheels with 21 spokes, for standard versions, and one of 20-inch 12-spoke, for those who choose the S version. The new elements help to obtain a better drag coefficient and reduced rolling noise.
