One expensive Repair Bill

Fender Bender Maybach 57

If you have a Maybach, and this happens, you'll be paying $24,000 just to fix it. Don't believe me? That's what happened in Monaco when a blonde girl in a Bentley Azure scraped a Ferrari F430, tussled a Mercedes S550, damaged an Aston Martin Rapide, and dented a Porsche 911 Carrera. There were many words that were exchanged during that whole debacle, but in the end, the woman took full responsibility of her actions. I hope she can pay the bill for her Bentley, cuz if she had that Maybach, she might be out of a job.

Maybach is Finally a Failure

2011 Maybach 57

So it's been quite some time, but Daimler, the company behind Mercedes-Benz, finally realize that their high-end luxury brand Maybach is sort of a failure. Let's be honest, it's not the best looking luxury Limo on the planet, and as for the asking price, it's just about outrageous! Still, there are some business tycoons and celebraties that love the brand and want it to stay. So, now it's all up to Daimler. They currently have three options open. 1. Aston Martin has decided to help improve the Maybach brand by putting in their take of luxury and power into their cars, if they choose to. 2. Maybach could become a sub-brand of Mercedes-Benz itself. It'll be like AMG, only at a degree of high-end luxury and not high-end performance. 3. Daimler might be forced to kill the brand altogether leaving some wealthy tycoons at a loss. As for me, I really don't care what they do. Maybach hasn't really being enticing to me from the start. If I were to become rich & famous and needed a high-end luxury car, I would get either Mercedes-Benz S600, Rolls-Royce Phantom, or Bentley Mulsanne and hire a driver. Or, better yet, I would get a BMW 760Li M-Sport, Aston Martin Rapide, Maserati Quattroporte GTS, or even a Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG and just drive myself to work since I love driving.

He Deserves It

2005 Maybach Exelero

Anyone remember this prototype car? It was Maybach's attempt to build an ultra-luxurious supercar to compete with the Ferraris and the Lamborghinis of its time. Under the hood of the car was a 6.0-liter Twin-Turbocharged V12 engine from the Maybach 57S, only this one produced 700 horsepower. 0 to 60 was done in 4.4 seconds, but it could reach a top speed of 217 MPH. Unfortunately, it was about 10x more expensive than any of them as it was valued at, and I'm not making this up, $8,000,000. Only 1 was made and it was featured in Jay-Z's music video "Lost Ones". He never bought it though, and no one has claimed it since then, until now. Yes, I'm here to tell you the name of the man who bought this $8,000,000 super-luxury supercar, and that name is Bryan Williams. Now if you have no idea who Bryan Williams is, don't worry about it, because you may have come across him while listening to some hip-hop. If you still don't know him, then you've probably heard of the rapper Birdman. Yep, he used $8,000,000 of his own money to buy this super-exclusive Maybach. Let's not forget this is a man who owns a $100,000,000 record label known as Cash Money Records, and already has a Bugatti Veyron and Maybach Landaulet in his garage. So, this guy's pretty much set. I hope he enjoys it. 

2010 Maybach Zeppelin Complete Review

The Maybach brand is bringing out the new Maybach Zeppelin to spearhead its luxury saloon model range. The newcomer represents the absolute zenith in the high-end luxury saloon segment. This makes it a worthy successor to the legendary Maybach Zeppelin, which was revered worldwide as the ultimate in high-class automotive engineering in the 1930s. The hallmark features of the new Maybach flagship’s unique sense of style include a stunning paint finish, featuring a shoulder line in a contrasting color, as well as the exquisite, meticulously crafted materials in the interior, whose long list of optional extras includes a world first – a highly sophisticated perfume atomizer. The new model’s performance outclasses the rest of the Maybach range, making it the most powerful Maybach ever. In a nutshell: the Maybach Zeppelin epitomises stylish elegance and vehicle manufacture as no car has ever done before. The new Maybach Zeppelin is being built in a limited edition of 100 worldwide.

The Maybach 57 S and the long-wheelbase version, the 62 S, serve as the technical basis for the new range-topping model. Supreme performance is assured in both cases by the 6.0-litre V12 biturbo power unit under the bonnet, which has been further refined by Mercedes-AMG and now delivers 471 kW/640 hp (+ 28 hp) and an electronically limited peak torque of 1000 Newton metres. The models’ extra-special status is documented in befitting fashion by a plaque in the engine compartment, which is engraved with the inscription “MAYBACH ZEPPELIN – ONE OF 100”. If the customer so wishes, a reference to their vehicle’s limited nature can be included in the passenger compartment too.

Needless to say that both versions of the Maybach Zeppelin have extraordinary performance capabilities. The decidedly sporty Maybach 57 Zeppelin for owners who enjoy taking the wheel themselves races to 100 km/h from standstill in 4.9 seconds and attains an electronically governed top speed of 275 km/h. The Maybach 62 Zeppelin, which is conceived first and foremost as a chauffeur-driven car, completes the 0 – 100 km/h sprint in 5.1 seconds and has a limited top speed of 250 km/h.
