Maybach

Maybach Landaulet.

   

  
More than 100 years ago, Wilhelm Maybach built a car that heralded the modern era. His Opus No.1 went down in history as the first Mercedes, and he is still remembered as the "king of the design engineers".

During the twenties and thirties they could be admired on the boulevards of New York, Monte Carlo and Berlin. The beginning of the forties brought the classic Maybach era to an end. Even long after production of these legendary vehicles ended, they remained very much alive in the hearts and minds of engineers, designers and automotive enthusiasts.

The Maybach has returned for the 21st century. Like its esteemed predecessors, the current version once again sets new standards with its technology, design and individuality. And like an instrument that is brought to life by the player, this car resonates with its owner's sense of style.

The 2009, $1.35 million exotic Maybach Landaulet is powered by a V12 twin-turbo engine, and has a top speed of 155 miles per hour. The rear roof module has been removed so passengers can have an unobstructed sky view. The Maybach offers the hand-built Landaulet based exclusively on the customer’s own specifications, and only a limited number was built during a restricted period.
