Calling an Uber? The Virgil Abloh Maybach Is Now an Option
Summary
Update:Not all Chicago Uber users are reporting seeing the Virgil Abloh Maybach as a bookable fare on their Uber apps, leaving the validity of the rideshare component unclear. Don C is, however, renting out his Maybach for rides in Chicago.
Original Story:There are only 150 'Virgil AblohMaybachs' in the world, the storied two-tone sedan that Abloh designed alongside Mercedes' Gorden Wagener as part of Project MAYBACH. Now, the long-sought-after, limited-edition Mercedes-Maybach S-Class S 680 can be yours – for just an hour or so, that is – asDon Chas listed his personal Virgil Abloh Maybach on Uber as a fully bookable offering.
With a price set at $500 USD an hour, Chicago Uber riders can book Don C's car on the app now. The listing's description indicates that only two riders can sit in the Virgil Abloh Maybach, with each ride accompanied by a professional driver.
The Virgil Abloh Maybach was officially released to its select upper echelon clientele back in 2022, defined by its two-toned body, custom wheels, and sleek Abloh x Maybach co-branded hits throughout both the car's interior and exterior.
