A Maybach Zeppelin Sports Car Becomes P. Diddy's Sons First Car on Super Sweet Sixteen

P. Diddy Gave His Son a Maybach Zeppelin Sports Car for His 16th Birthday

Ryan Christopher DeVault
The Maybach Zeppelin sports car has punctured the public consciousness. P. Diddy gave his son a Maybach Zeppelin sports car as his first car this weekend, marking a huge moment not just for Justin (his son) but the Maybach sports car as well. A lot of people have not heard of the Maybach Zeppelin sports car before, and that is simply because it doesn't fit into the budget of a regular person. The car that was given to his son, a supped up version of the Maybach Zeppelin, cost $360,000. Yes, all of those zeros are meant to be there, and the car is also very easily recognized by people who are car aficionados.

Just looking at the image at the top of this article, you can see how flashy that the Maybach Zeppelin really is in person. This is one of flashiest cars that a person can purchase, with some pretty flashy statistics backing up the price as well. This car is capable of topping 177 miles per hour on the road, and reportedly can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 4.9 seconds. That's no small feat, and the price tag accompanies the performance of a car like this. $360,000 is certainly a lot for a car, let alone the first car for a kid that is just turning 16 years old. The gift was part of a special being filmed by MTV in conjunction with P. Diddy and his son that will be on MTV's Super Sweet Sixteen show in the very near future.

This vehicle is starting to become more famous as rap mogul Jay-Z also drove one in a recent music video for his song Lost One, and is sure to get even more attention when MTV's show airs. The Maybach is a German made car; build for a combination of elegance, power, and speed. When viewed it almost looks like a car from the future as well, and with the price tag you almost hope that it can spread some wings and fly. We are also just talking about a two-door car here, so it almost seems like a race car, but this one was built specifically for the son of one of the wealthiest people in the music industry.

    Okay, first of all, Diddy's son, got a Maybach 57 Zeppelin, and the picture you are showing, is of the Maybach Exelero. The Exelero costs 8 million, and there are only a few in the world.

    Second of all, so what if he buys his son a car. He is filthy rich, he can do whatever he wants with his money. He earned it. He just wanted to make his son happy, and since he is caught up in the media scene, he thinks happiness comes in the form of luxury items.

    My brother, who is the COO of Viacom, Inc. (MTV, vh1, nickelodeon, comedy central, shockwave), bought himself a Maybach 62s. This car has seats in the back that are like first class flight seats. They have leg rests and a massage feature. They have shades for the windows, two tv screens in the back, a refrigerator, two wine glasses, two tray tables, navigation etc. His driver is the one who drives him, however, on rare occasions, he will drive it himself. I've driven it and rode in it, and it is the coolest car ever.

    I SEE NOTHING AT ALL WRONG WITH WHAT DIDDY WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BLESS HIS CHILD WITH. I HAVE THE MOST RESPECT FOR THE FACT THAT IT WAS HIS CHILD'S BIRTHDAY, AND NOT ANY OF THOSE "FAKE " HOLIDAYS, MADE FOR THE PROFITS OF THE ELITE SOCIETY. THE FUNNY THING IS THAT IF HE WAS WHITE, IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE AT ALL. SO HATERS CONTINUE TO TO DO WHAT YOU DO BEST, BECAUSE I HEAR HIS NEXT BIRTHDAY DIDDY IS GOING TO PUT A DOWN PAYMENT ON THE WORLD FOR HIS SON!!!!!

    The car in the picture above isn't the Zeppelin, its the Exelero. I feel sorry for Diddy when his son gets jacked for that ride. If you really love you kid, teach him the value of hard work, honesty, and integrity, not raise him as a spoiled rich kid who hasn't had to EARN anything he has. We have enough of those already (Paris, Kim, etc)

    My 5.0 will do 4.5 in 0 to 60

    Well we've got another 16 year old half way around the world in a sailboat that they had to set adrift... I suppose with enough money and insurance you can do most anything. I suspect that Diddy has already gotten 400K of publicity out of this outrageous gift. Now... if the boy sells that car and contributes the money to the Gulf Cleanup or some other worthy charity... I'll be impressed... otherwise I'm just aggravated at the tastelessness of this outrageous gift with so many people out of work and losing their homes... very bad timing on this one Diddy.

  • Sydney6/12/2010

    I want Diddy to adopt me! I will settle for that new Audi sports car that looks like a Lambrogini! It is cheaper than the Maybach!
