Maybach 62 Landaulet, if you're on 56k, you sure as heck can't afford it.| d3v |  Posted: Jan 29 2008, 10:20 PM |
DFV! The engine of champions!  Group: Advanced Members Posts: 4,508 Member No.: 5,296 Joined: Jan 29th 2005 Location: in a Tropical Hut | Probably as an effort to distinguish their ultra-luxury cars from the very capable S-Class, Maybach will be reviving the "Landaulet" bodystyle with the 62S Landaulet.       Having debuted in Dubai last November, an unspecified number (not 20 as initially reported) will be made for the super-rich sheiks, emirs, princes, etc. of the Gulf. http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/23/maybach...nto-production/ This post has been edited by d3v on Jan 29 2008, 10:34 PM |

That is one beautiful car. Augh! there I said it! I hate Maybachs, but this one's got charm. Now only if Bugatti can release a spiritual succesor to this  This post has been edited by Turbo_Levin_13 on Jan 30 2008, 10:35 AM |

Unless you let me have one.  But, not bad. Just having it for the backseat seems....awkward?  This post has been edited by JZX100 on Jan 30 2008, 02:38 PM |

DFV! The engine of champions! Group: Advanced Members Posts: 4,508 Member No.: 5,296 Joined: Jan 29th 2005 Location: in a Tropical Hut | I'm personally not opposed to the idea of the Landaulet. What I don't like however is how the roof and whatever mechanism seems to for a large bump in the rear when down. It should be more discreet IMO, although, I give that it does form an extra layer of isolation when the roof is down. |

Just think, they made a whole white leather cover to enclose the entire black folded convertible top when down. That's a decent amount of extra hardware. |

I want one with a gold plated RPG-7. Anyway, I've found this cars true predecessor. The "Grosser Mercedes" 600 Pullman Landaulet.   This post has been edited by d3v on Jan 31 2008, 08:11 PM | ||

 Rest assured that no U.S. president is going to use a car like this for a public appearance. | ||
