I pulled up to a stop light yesterday, and next to me this giant silver and black car pulls up alongside. I had no idea what it was other than it was huge. All I can see is door next to me. The light changes and I take off and this big car is hanging with me so OK I put her down in second and so does the BIG HUGE CAR. He's still hanging with me!!! We get up to the next light I backed off and pulled over to the drivers side, still didn't know what it was and asked him. He said it's a Maybach. I have no idea whats in those but for being the size of a cruise ship. They can fly

The Maybach was on punked last night. They got the guys from Outkast into believing their rented Maybach was crashed and there was no insurance. Funny how people with shit loads of cash act a fool when they find out they actually have to pay for something!

Yeah you are right one of the most powerful vehicles to ever be produced. As well as the longest wheel base ever and HEAVIEST cars of all time. People on this site are always talk about power to weight ratio. Well here is a huge loser in that catagory.

The power to weight ratio on the Maybach isn't bad at all... In fact , it is quicker in a straight line than an S2K is... I think this is mainly because of the massive torque of the engine, but hey, it isn't exactly lacking in the HP department either...

6300 lbs., 550 fwhp/663 ft. lbs yeah the power to weight ratio isnt all that good, period. Do I not think it is one of the nicest and most plush cars on the road, most definately yes.
