Maybach launches the XENATEC Coupe

It wasn't too long ago when a G-Power Hurricane RR powered BMW set the world speed record for the fastest saloon car at 372 km/hr. Performance enhancement done by some professional fine tuning can do wonders for cars that are powerful to begin with.

The same extra hand equation applies for automobiles designed to provide the absolute zenith in luxury and stylish interiors. To achieve this, luxury car maker Maybach got together with white metal component provider XENATECH to mould the most eye-popping blissful luxury coupe yet to hit the world tarmac.

The launch of the XENATEC Coupe built by the Karosserie Manufaktur Weinsberg, a division of XENATEC Group in cooperation with Maybach is undoubtedly one of the finest cars ever built. Designed by Fredrik Burchhardt, creator of the dramatic Exelero, the XENATECH Coupe is a powerful combination of state-of-the-art technology, superior driving performance; moreover, opulent use of the finest materials places the Maybach in a league of its own.

Based on the dynamic Maybach 57 S limousine, this interpretation of driver-oriented luxury sets new standards in terms of exclusivity. A very limited number of the XENATEC Coupé will be built for discerning clients worldwide. The XENATEC Coupe will be offered at an ex-showroom price of € 675,000 (approx. Rs. 4.14 Crore) excluding local taxes.

Body Makeover, Untouched Heart

The evolution from a stretch limousine to a two door coupe has witnessed major changes with regards to bodywork and interiors, but the Maybach's drivetrain has remained unchanged.

Major changes have been made to the immensely strong bodywork, which has been completely redesigned and engineered. Frontline features include new doors with frameless sidescreens, allowing for easy access to the rear passenger compartment.

The windscreen and rear screen are more steeply raked for a sporty silhouette, lowering the roofline without compromising passenger comfort. A full glass roof can be fitted if desired, as can almost all other options available for the Maybach 57 S. Overall performance will surely see brighter days with the XENATECH Coupe offering a rear track increased by 20 mm, and the standard 20-inch wheels (21-inch: Optional) allowing for a marvelously supple ride.
