2011 Maybach 57 commemorates royal wedding

The upcoming wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William is a huge deal.  The happy couple's soon-to-be April 29tth nuptials are making global headlines everyday.  An event like this is certainly a marketing dream, as the occasion gets marked by companies everywhere scattering to get their products purchased by romantics in every part of the world.  So why not create a vehicle that also marks the festivities in a big way?  Enter the 2011 Maybach 57 Wedding Commemorative Edition designed by one of Europe's leading automotive fashion houses, Project Kahn.

The ultimate luxury, UK-based, automotive designer builds vehicles for a small circle of folks who demand exclusivity and the finer things in life down to the very last detail.  The special Maybach is pearl white and painted with a special finish.  The Maybach 57 sits on 22-inch wheels and has smoked rear lights, Pentagon security glass and the finest materials imaginable for the interior components.  The special license plate for the royal carriage will read '4 HRH' which stands for 'His/Her Royal Highness.'

Project Kahn is owned by A. Kahn, an automotive enthusiast who created his brand back in 2003.  Over the last few years, Kahn has touted that his team of world class designers--3-D modellers, clay sculptors, graphic artists and technical engineers are a force to be reckoned with hands-down.  Kahn and his workers spend thousands of hours developing his concepts to the point of perfection.  The auto artiste incorporates individuality and old world craftsmanship into every project he works on.

Regarding his most current special edition tribute to the royals, he explains, that the 4 HRH license plate is worthy of befitting a vehicle such as the Project Kahn Maybach 57. "And as a proud Englishman and designer, this is our way of wishing the royal couple many happy years together."

Right now the vehicle is sitting at the Project Kahn headquarters in Bradford, UK. 

Can someone say "wedding gift?"

Here's to traveling in style royals!
