Recently deceased Apple Inc CEO Steve Jobs drove a 2008 cBenz SL55 AMG. While the car he drove is not very rare or insanely expensive it was probably the only civilian car in the world that did not sport a number plate
Steve Jobs was a revolutionist, a visionary, a genius, a marketing
wizard and so much more. Befitting this extraordinary man was his car.
Jobs drove a Mercedes Benz SL55 AMG which was one of the most powerful
cars on the road at its time. The SL55 AMG came with a supercharged 5.5
litre V8 engine that generated 510 bhp. The car has a limited top speed
of 250 km/h and is capable of sprinting from 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds,
that’s fast today!
However, the most interesting part about the car was that Steve Jobs’
car did not have any licence plates at the front or at the back, Jobs
claimed that his number plates got stolen every time he replaced them.
In place of number plates he was allowed to have a small bar code.
Rumour has it that it was nothing but the vehicle’s VIN number. We
probably will never know.
