BRADFORD, England — The Project Kahn Wedding Commemorative Maybach 57 marks the April 29 nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton, as even auto tuners begin to jump on the royal wedding memorabilia bandwagon.
The Wedding Commemorative Maybach 57 gets a pearl white exterior paint treatment and a license plate that reads "4 HRH," short for "His/Her Royal Highness." Other details include 22-inch Kahn RS wheels and smoked taillights. The couple is protected from prying eyes courtesy of Pentagon privacy glass. The car is currently on display at the firm's headquarters here.
Project Kahn calls the vehicle "a fitting tribute to the royal couple."
There are no powertrain upgrades. However, the tuner has included a "Kahn lightweight golfing umbrella with carbon fiber shaft," presumably to protect the bride in the event of rain.
The royals will not be riding in the custom Maybach 57, since Buckingham Palace confirmed earlier that the bride will be traveling in a 1977 Rolls-Royce Phantom VI to the April 29 wedding at Westminster Abbey. The two will leave the ceremony in a traditional carriage.
Inside Line says: Expect other auto tuners to jump on the royal wedding bandwagon this week. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent
