2003 Mercedes Maybach

[SHIFT_6speeds]

I am sorry...there is no actual need for a vehicles such as this. This appears to be more oppulant than most luxury condos. I feel sorry for the folks who think they have a "need" a vehicle such as this...

On the engineering side it is amazing...

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Those two are about to get it on in the back seat of that Maybach. That's going to be Mercedes' sales pitch to buyers around the world. Big Enough Back Seat

This car is a limo. So for business execs, and stock market mongers it would fit. Jeeves would have to drive. Its very innovative and will be interesting to see it on the market.

That's nice design full of good ideas. It's funny to see them wearing seatbelts as a saftey advertisment, yet there is/are potential projectiles all over that car. What happens if there is a hail storm? Those better be Anderson windows.

You do know that the top picture is NOT what the final car will look like, right?

This is, what may be, the first "officially released" spy photo. Mercedes-Benz sent it out a few months back.

Too much for me to mention about this twin turbo V12 Benz. Infiniti needs at least a S-class and 7-Series competitor. And make it GOOD

conspicuous consumption....

[hiwayman17]

Do "they" really need a car like this? "They" don't usually travel long distances in a car. Do you really need to recline in the back seat as you are driven to the airport to get in their private jet?

[hiwayman17]

Certainly enough room in the back seat for sex. Wonder if it comes with power stirrups...oh I better not even go there.

[Infiniti]

Infinit has the Q Zed http://66.96.198.147/forum/images/icons/rolleyes.gif

[Infiniti]

Must be hard to use the rearview mirror with the TV down. "Can I move that damn TV!!!!!!! Youve watched enough!!" hehehe

Don't tell me you consider the Q a competitor to a V12 S-class or the upcoming BMW V12 7series.

BTW:Is the rolling of the eyes neccessary. Your rudeness is getting irratating.

[Gauis_Caligula]

All this talk about sex . . . this car looks like it is better than sex!! I'd take two!!

[GTR]

unless they have put magnets under all that silverwear, they will have to be safely stored in some area prior to departure...

Looking at the pictures posted above, it makes Pontiac Asstek seems mild. What the hell were they thinking...? But ofcourse you forget about how ugly it is when you step inside.

Thats what i've been asking for. Take the new Q, stretch its wheelbase, tune the engine for 5.5 liters with 400 hp and call it Q55L

What the hell is that. I hope INFINITI dosen't even try to go there. However what ever happened to the long wheel base Q-ship that was to have more ponnies than the regular Q to give the S600 and 7-series a scare

Those pictures of the "production ready" car are actually of the concept car. The Maybach concept car was introduced at the Tokyo Show a few years back. You know how wild "Japanese" concept cars can get. I'm sure DaimlerChrysler was playing to the crowd.

But you have to assume that the production will look "similar" to the concept as it is the case for most concept cars going into production. It might look better with fixed headlights and different color. And whats with different colors on a car like this?
