Real estate agent Manny Khoshbin got to drive a supercar so rare that most people have never heard of it.
It’s well known that the entrepreneur likes to throw some money around – his stunning Rolls-Royce collection is testament to that.
But this super-rare Marsien is exceptional, even by Khoshbin’s lofty standards.

The sensational addition to Manny Khoshbin’s collection
The Marsien costs more than half a million dollars, and was initially on display at Monterey Car Week, Autoevolution reported.
The car’s creator Marc Philipp Gemballa took the car and brought it to Khoshbin’s luxurious house.
As he does with many things in his life, Khoshbin shared it with his one million YouTube subscribers.
“We have a really rare Porsche for you guys, only forty produced,” he told his viewers.
The car is a true beauty, with a suede interior and encased in baby blue carbon fiber.

Well, we say it’s baby blue – the color is actually created purely for the car, nicknamed ‘Marsien glacier blue by Gemballa.
Thanks to this unique paintwork, the car is unique among the 40 that had been made.
If there’s one thing that the cars in Khoshbin’s own collection tend to have in common, it’s their distinctive colors – like this gorgeous red Tesla cybertruck.
The car usually sits 4.72 inches above the ground, but when in off-road mode it can elevate by a further five inches.
It comes with an air compressor that allows the tires to deflate and inflate at the driver’s choice whilst driving off-road.

So not only is the car sleek and stylish, it’s a hardy car on rockier terrains.
A closer look at the Marsien
The Marsien, named in reference to the deserts of the United Arab Emirates where its prototype was tested, is a powerhouse car.
It can go from 0 to 62mph in 2.6 seconds and reaches a eye watering speed of 208mph.

Whilst the standard Marsiens have a horsepower of 880, this one is at a slightly lower 830.
In the video, Khoshbin takes the car out on the highway where it drives like a dream.
Speaking in the car, Gemballa said: “You could drive it in the desert, bring it home and park it next to your Bugatti, and nobody would know.”
Made in Neckar, Germany, the car is roughly $552,462 – selling in its birth place for 495,000 euros.
Despite the rarity of this model, in his own private collection, Khoshbin owns even more exclusive cars – including the one-off Hermès Edition Pagani Huayra.
