MAYBACH 57 Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q2, 31 MAYBACH 57s remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 38 in 2017 Q4 — only 82% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 7 cars.

In all, the MAYBACH 57 is rarer than 70% of the 2,315 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.
