Lil Baby is showing off a rare addition to his car collection. The rapper 28-year-old recently revealed that heâs acquired a Maybach designed by the late Virgil Abloh.
The 28-year-old took to Instagram earlier this weekend to share a short video with his fans. In the video, a beige leather trunk is opened. It reads, âVIRGIL ABLOH, 1 OF 150.â
Inside the trunk was a replica of a Maybach that featured a black top and peanut butter-colored bottom.
As the camera pans up, viewers are greeted with a real-life version of the Maybach, parked in a driveway. The camera then pans around the car, giving viewers a full look.
Lil Baby later took to his Instagram Story to share a selfie of himself, standing alongside the Maybach.
The official USA Mercedes Benz Instagram account reacted to Lil Babyâs video with a brief comment. (Maybach is a part of the Mercedes Benz family of cars, as per Car And Driver.)

Fellow rapper G Herbo also shared his reaction to Lil Babyâs new set of wheels.

Pierre âPâ Thomas, the CEO of Quality Control Music â the record label to which Lil Baby is signed, also shared his reaction to the car.

According to an April 2022 article published via Car And Driver, the 2023 Mercedes-Maybach S680 is a âlimited editionâ Maybach sedan. Additionally, it was the âfinal collaboration between Mercedes and the late Virgil Abloh.â
Virgil Abloh is remembered for his âexpansive approachâ to design and transitioning the âtraditional luxury industryâ to include âhypebeast culture,â as reported by The New York Times. Additionally, the outlet credits Abloh with redefining âthe meaning of âfashionâ itself.â
As reported by Car And Driver, Abloh worked with Mercedesâs chief design officer Gorden Wagener on the project, and the design of the car was âfinalized prior to Ablohâs passing.â
The Mercedes-Maybach S680 features a two-tone paint job, with an Obsidian Black color featured on the top of the car. As well as a âtan shadeâ on the bottom. Additionally, the vehicleâs âmonoblock wheelsâ feature the same tan shade.
The two-tone color scheme continues on the inside of the car, with even the âinfotainment systemâ featuring the same design.
According to the April 2022 report, only 150 Mercedes-Maybach S680 have been produced globally. The emblem on the trunk seen in Lil Babyâs video seems to confirm that he owns the first of the 150 models.
Furthermore, Car And Driver has since reported that the value of the Mercedes-Maybach S680 is estimated at around $250,000.
