Rappers tend to have some of the biggest paychecks known to man. Even "Birdman" who may not be the most recognized or the most talented rapper has enough money to splurge now and again. Keeping that in mind, it’s no wonder that he recently became the owner of a Maybach Exelero for which he paid an incredible $8 million. Considering Forbes lists him as the fourth wealthiest rapper and he is also the proud owner of a Bugatti Veyron and a Maybach Landaulet, this latest purchase shouldn’t astound anyone. "They got this new Maybach that I want that costs $8 million, I gotta have it," he said in a recent interview, and why shouldn’t he when his net worth is estimated to be $100 million? The Exelero is powered by a V12 biturbo engine that develops an impressive 700 HP at 5,000 rpm and 753 lm.ft of maximum torque at 2,500 rpm. It can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and hits a top speed of 218 mph. If that isn’t impressive enough, there is only one Exelero in the world. UPDATE 08/15/2011: Either Birdman has changed his mind or the money from his old CDs isn’t coming in as fast as he would like it to because the rapper has yet to pay for his expensive new ride. According to a representative of European entrepreneur, Arnaud Massartic (the current owner of the Exelero), Birdman has yet to pay for the Maybach. All this means is that anyone with a spare $8 million can still snag the vehicle and pull a Jay-Z/Kanye makeover. (MotorAuthority) .
30 comments: Birdman becomes proud owner of an $8 million Maybach Exelero; (...) He has to pay for it unless someone takes it away from him. He should be enlightened because he has Bugatti Veyron.
He’s very addicted to super cars. Well, who wouldn’t if this Exelero seems inviting to you. Rappers intend to have things that will make them unique and famous. I bet from being not-so-famous. He will reach stardom for acquiring the only Exelero in the world.
Companies should be wary of those who can and who cannot pay the car loan on time. They should blacklist them immediately too.
Well, you’ve said it. He’s not-so-famous, so I don’t even know why Maybach allowed him to have it in the first place. Maybach Exelero certainly appeals to rappers’ tastes because of its flashy design and impressive engine.
Based on what I have read before, he already owns the vehicle, but it seems that he is just tested driving the car. And I agree, that he doesn’t like the excessive power output of the car. I think it would be better if he chooses a slower car like the Mercedes AMG.
Well, in the first place, I think he will not enjoy the high speed performance of the Bugatti, since he is not that into speed! What’s the use of owning a speedy vehicle when you are not happy on its awesome ponies!
I like the styling of the vehicle. This luxurious car deliver an impressive amount of power. I think its kind of odd for a supercar.
