Maybach Exelero sold for $8 million - report
Bought by Birdman
Sure, you can buy a Maybach 57S Cruiserio Coupe for a million dollars (€675,000) but why bother when you can have the real thing for just $7 million (€4,721,200) more?
According to recent reports, the Birdman (aka rapper Bryan Williams) plopped down a hefty wad of cash to purchase a Maybach Exelero coupe. We weren't aware any were for sale, but the original show car was handed over to German tire company Fulda Reifenwerke and we haven't heard much about it since then.
As we have previously reported, the Exelero features a 6.0-liter biturbo V12 engine that produces 691 hp (515 kW / 700 PS) and 1,020 Nm (752 lb-ft) of torque. It enables the car to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds and hit a top speed of 218 mph (351 km/h).

I srongly doubt that he bought it.Or lets say i doubt that Maybach sold it.They always said its not for sale and Birdman himself said that he offered them 10 million euros but they wouldn´t sell it.Im pretty sure he was not the first person who wanted to buy it...So im pretty sure this is is PR and not real.
