Xenatec Maybach Cruiserio Coupe – Click above for high-res image gallery

Xenatec is using the Geneva Motor Show to unveil its one-off Cruiserio Coupe, a customer-ordered hyper-luxury car based on the Maybach 57S. The coupe was designed by Fredrik Burchhardt to a customer’s exact specs, then hand-built by the Xenatec team.

Outside, the Xenatec Cruiserio Coupe is swathed in a two-tone matte finish that’s designed to give a brassy shimmer in the light. Xenatec says the paint was hand-applied in several stages to get the look just so.

The big coupe’s interior is another Xenatec one-off, featuring hand-stitched natural, undyed buffalo leather and espresso-colored Nappa hides. To take things to the next level of ludicrous opulence, Xenatec lined the footwells of the car with blackberry Alcantara.

Xenatec says the whole package is set off by the car’s panorama roof, which is accented with a Nappa leather headliner.

No word yet (or ever, we assume) on what this level of exclusivity costs, but we’re ok with that. If you have to ask… Hop the jump for a full press release.

– XENATEC –
Geneva is host to first public appearance of the XENATEC

Coupe based on the Maybach 57 S

For the first time, XENATEC is presenting a customer-specified XENATEC-Coupe

(so called: Cruiserio) based on the Maybach 57 S to coincide with the 81st

International Auto Salon in Geneva from March 1st through 6th. The presentation

of the car, which will take place in a specially constructed pavilion in the gardens

of “La Réserve” Hotel on the banks of Lake Geneva, also marks its world

premiere.

The coupe was configured by XENATEC designer Fredrik Burchhardt to customer

specifications and then built exclusively for him. The paintwork on this one-off is a

matte finish applied by hand in several layers to create a shimmering brass tone.

The overall paint finish is completed by a delicate silver along the vehicle’s flanks.

This particular stylistic treatment – a hallmark of all Maybach automobiles – is the

final touch to the work of art that is the XENATEC-Coupe and utterly unparalleled

worldwide.

To sum up – designed by artists, manufactured for connoisseurs.

The interior is utterly exclusive, created from a stunning combination of buffalo

hide in its natural, non-dyed mid-brown and dark nappa leather in espresso

brown, all hand-stitched by master craftsmen. The vehicle footwells are lined

entirely in soft Alcantara© finished in a warm blackberry tone. The same

“blackberry” tone is also used as a contrasting color for the leather piping around

the seats. The overall effect is further enhanced by the headliner finished in

nappa leather to create a stunning contrast in this uniquely sumptuous feast of

color, which is beautifully displayed at all times thanks to the custom-built

panorama roof.

To sum up – the highest form of individualization, executed with perfect

craftsmanship.
