Virgil Abloh’s Maybach S-Class, the designer′s last collaboration with Mercedes, launches

This is the third chapter in the collaboration between the German company and the designer who died tragically last November. The car, which can be purchased in a limited series of 150 units, is accompanied by an exclusive Off White capsule collection.

The Maybach S-Class marks the final chapter in Project Maybach, which Virgil Abloh himself designed and created with Mercedes-Benz Chief Design Officer Gorden Wagener last year. Finalised shortly before Abloh’s tragic death in November, the collaboration ends with the presentation of the designer’s latest Mercedes-Maybach. This time, however, the car, unlike the previous two models, can actually be driven.

  

Available in a limited series of just 150 units, the S-Class is inspired by the models previously previewed in Miami, featuring a caramel colour and a unique logo inscribed on the luxury leather seats. Also announced with the launch is an extensive merchandise collection, considerably cheaper than the car. Curated by Off-White, the line includes a boxy T-shirt, an oversized hoodie, a crewneck sweatshirt, racing gloves and a baseball cap. Each of the limited-edition pieces is embroidered with the contributors’ logos in black, and are available in a sandy shade that matches the Maybach’s interior.
