Default Mercedes Maybach production debut pics








July 10, 2002 - Four months after its comeback at the Geneva Motor Show, the luxury car brand Maybach has presented it's new high-end automobile to the public in New York. The new luxury car was shipped across the Atlantic in a glass crate aboard the Queen Elizabeth II and then unloaded by helicopter, to be shown at a hotel near the New York Stock Exchange. Designed to compete against Rolls-Royce and Bentley, DaimlerChrysler plans to build 1,000 units annually at a plant in Sindelfingen, Germany.
Woah, now that's classy. these are some photos of the production version of the long-anticipated Mercedes Maybach. The car even features a glass roof that enables the user to control its opacity

Yes indeed the Maybach is very classy, any idea when Mercedes plans to release the SLR supercar, is it going to become a reality

KEWL. The funny thing is that it's supposed to be a limo....sign me up to be a chauffer...and when the owner is away i'll climb into those reclining back seats with telescoping footrests!

I'm sure the luxury is nice and all - but does it looke to anyone else like a regular ol' Jaguar, aka FORD?

The McLaren/Mercedes SLR will be produced at the end of this year allready - long known fact!

The Maybach has already been ordered by around 600 people, three of them were passengers on the QE II on which it was shipped to NY.

An LS 430 is by far no match for the most luxurious and refined vehicle in the world, it will be build for around 7 years. The Maybach Manufaktur will not change the car during this period (including facelifts).

sorry i wrote a bit confusing/excuse my english..

They had a new Maybach on the Today show of all places last week.

It was nicer than most up-scale homes....scary.
