German coachbuilder, Xenatec, gets its kicks from making short cars long, long cars short, and long cars even longer. This is evident in their many zany interpretations, including their transformations for the Audi R8 and the Porsche 911. But their craziest package is yet to come with the Maybach Cruiserio Coupe, developed by Daimler and Saudi-based Auto Kingdom. There will only be 100 units built at a price of $940,000. "The new Cruiserio coupe demonstrates a vision for design and production which AutoKingdom shares with the two German companies. This vision is the result of intellectual cooperation. The new generation features an advanced and ultra-elegant design by the most experienced and skilled automobile engineers and specialists who have deep knowledge of the demands of owners of luxury cars and their vision for an ultra-luxurious car which surpasses all what they saw in the past and is set to beat what they could see in the future." The Cruiserio Coupe is powered by a V12 engine with an output of 605 HP and a sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 5.0 seconds, while top speed hits the 170 mph mark. Pretty amazing numbers considering we’re talking about a 5.7 meter luxury coupe. UPDATE 12/29/2010: Well, it didn’t take long for the luxury ride to find its way into dealerships. We recently got word that the very first model of the Xenatec Maybach 57S Coupe is now being put up for sale by AutoKingdom, a luxury car dealer in Saudi Arabia for al ittle less than a million dollars. Incidentally, AutoKingdom is one of only two companies outside of Germany that has been given the rights to sell the limited-run vehicle with the other dealership being Russia’s ArmorTech Group. .
33 comments: Maybach Cruiserio Coupe I think the v12 engine is just a waste when put on this Maybach Coupe. Imagine, it hits 60 mph for 5 seconds. hence, other supercar that uses v8 can do that for only 3 seconds. I think they need to modified it correctly.
 it does show the good quality of the their brand. But I rather get the CL65 or new Lambo Aventador for this pricetag.
 This look a beautiful design and this is nicer! But I don’t like the rear end of this car and it looks so incomplete because they have cut off the headlights.
 This car does look awesome! I have drove it once , and I totally understand the reason behind that enormous pricetag. The quality is absolutely perfect!
 No wonder Daimler asked Aston Martin to rebuild Maybach brand, the Britons know how to build luxury cars and sell it even with the most stupid special editions like AM recently does.
 I really don’t think they’re going to sell 100 units even for 200,000€ each. It’s just over designed 57 sedan without rear door handles.
 But their craziest package is yet to come with the Maybach Cruiserio Coupe, developed by Daimler and Saudi-based Auto Kingdom. There will only be 100 units built at a price of $940,000.
 Fortunately,this elegant looks is one of the desire car for wealthy individulas that surely like their tas
 then there would be no difference I really like Maybach,maybe more than the Rolls or Bentley but the bumper ruins the elegant and unique image.
