Maybach 57S by Fab Design

The idea of a low-flying saloon seems to have been upmost on the FAB Design team's minds when they chanced upon the Maybach 57 S. The Daimler car would form the basis for the tuning kit you see here. FAB chose the shorter 57 S specifically because it's the one considered better suited for the self-driving multimillionaire.

Hurling the car forward is a 650hp (478kW) biturbo engine making maximum torque of 1,025Nm. FAB says the heavy saloon will quickly sprint from 0 - 100km/h in 4.9 seconds and stop accelerating at 303km/h.

Outside it sports a body that is 30 centimetres wider than the factory car. There are air vents on the side of each wheel in order to provide extra cooling air for the brakes. The front apron is also designed to scoop more air into the engine bay for cooling purposes. Tyres used are 265/30 and 325/25 front and rear with rims measuring 20-inches in diameter.

When it came to the interior FAB decided to go cream and blue. Lots of leather and Alcantara surfaces that are contrasted with sky blue accents decorate the interior. For entertainment there are plenty of choices to make, from iPod connections to a multi-cinema entertainment system.

FAB Design plans to only produce 15 units of this car.

See now, the point of a Maybach as opposed to a Rolls is that it's quiet, understated authority. The only people this will appeal to will be rappers. And maybe Bono =P

Why rip off all luxury and high-graded materials for those hilarious things? Look at that blue floor carpet used on the roof and console. ... sad

Wow, that looks spectacularly horrible. The Maybach isn't exactly pretty to start with, but this doesn't help!

There are valid arguments for anyone being able to afford this and wanting one ebing stripped of their wealth.

And as for Fab Design, I seegrounds for them being prosecuted under the Trades Descriptions Act.

I totally disagree, this Maybach actually looks decent, Its not boring and old looking such as the other Maybachs. And If you all were to know about FAB Design their main anticipation is to please the "Young URBAN market"; im other words Black People.
