“Maybach” has 644 kilometers on the odometer, and in Russian documents there is one owner. The car was made in 2021, that is, the early limousine with the V12 engine was given to the Carat Duchatelet workshop.

There are no prices in the public domain, but it will definitely be cheaper than 2.35 million euros.
