Production will be limited to 100 units...HA! HA! LOL for that kind of money? A 2yr old S class? Lol did they even sell 50+ last year?

a lot of the stuff under the skin is actually based on the W140 S-Class, not the W220. therefore it's more like 10 years old...
i think Maybach should stop wasting it's time on the 57 and 62. instead what they should do is try and build cars that compete with the Bentley Continental range to boost sales. i mean if you're gonna use old Merc underpinnings for your flagship then surely the current CL underpinnings would be perfectly adequate for a large sporting 2 door GT?

I congratulate Maybach for using the "Zeppelin" name for this car. This formidable flagship is as it should be...one of the most finely engineered cars' extant. I'll have mine in "Battleship Grey" Thank you.

Zeppelin resurrects

It isn't unusual for manufacturers to offer a special edition of some sort as a model nears its end of life; but, I question whether this is a suitable strategy for a vehicle in this segment. Seeing it in person is different than in photos, but for me this doesn't enhance or buoy the image of this fledgling marque. I hate to say it, but it reminds me of a Kia Amati with two-tone paint.

The Kia Amanti was launched in 2004. Two years after the Maybach was announced. Please join me in the rear of a "62" and I'll "break" a bottle of Krug...

that dark color tone is really unique...the paint itself feels luxurious...personally i have seen around 5 maybachs in real life and they r gorgeous... however the white stripes or light color tone is not really looking good on this model....and i really adore the rims of this model
