Virgil Abloh's Mercedes Maybach

German car brand Mercedes-Benz has unveiled a car designed in collaboration with Virgil Abloh along with a collection of clothing designed by the late fashion designer's Off-White brand.

Named Maybach by Virgil Abloh, the car is a Mercedes-Maybach S-Class S680 model.

The limited-edition car was designed by Abloh, before he passed away, in partnership with Mercedes-Benz' chief design officer Gorden Wagener.

Only 150 of this Project Maybach concept car is available – a two-tone solar-powered car with a transparent hood that was also designed together with Abloh.

While the two-tone colour of the show car remains in the S-Class design, the translucent hood will not be seen on the for-sale version of the vehicle.

"As Project Maybach was a show car, we had complete creative freedom, allowing us to collaboratively concept what the future of electric travel could look like," Wagener.

The car will be decorated with a Mercedes-Maybach and Virgil Abloh logo.

The car brand is set to launch its first fully-electric car for retail next year.

"Mercedes-Maybach is fully committed to an electric future and, whilst Maybach by Virgil Abloh is a very limited edition run that launches before this capability is offered, we will be bringing the first fully electric Mercedes-Maybach model to the markets in 2023," Wagener told dezeen.com

"Offering a purchasable element was key to the second Maybach collaboration with Virgil and the intention was always to offer our customers an unrivalled luxury design experience through the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class and capsule collection created together with Virgil in 2021," he said.
