Car You Cant Afford 2004 Maybach 62

Base retail price: $357,000 US

During the 1920s and 30s, carmaker Maybach was synonymous with luxury, wealth and prestige. Returning with a new line of automobiles in the 21st century, Maybach has continued this tradition of excellence, best seen in their 2004 62 model.

The 62 is a masterpiece on wheels. Under the hood, the 5.5-litre, V12 543 hp turbo engine can develop enough power to launch a rocket. To control this beast and the Maybachs sprawling 242-inch frame, there are several technological innovations at your disposal. Test the electro-hydraulic Sensotronic Brake Control, the electronic Airmatic DC air suspension system and the Linguatronic voice control program.



When you sit in this Maybach, youll know youve made it. The 21-speaker surround sound Dolby system will make any music sound crystal clear, or give you the effect of actually being in a movie theater if you choose to watch a DVD on one of the 62s TV screens. Passengers are treated to the finest wood and leather interior, footrests, fold-out tables, a panoramic moonroof and two telephone handsets (optional). In all, Maybach provides buyers with, believe it or not, 2.2 million ways to equip their car. You can even order a sterling silver champagne goblet. With all the customization possible, orders for this mobile mansion take four months to process and, even with the astronomical price, the wait is worth it.

Distinguishing feature: Where would a $357,000 car be without a striking exterior? The Maybachs streamlined frame, front grille and curved headlights exude affluence.

Maybach = PURE Luxury.

Pros: Sassy dictator look, uber-luxury accomodations, with a solid granite German touch.

Cons: Gas mileage may be more than most people want to handle, but if your of status who cares!

Hmmm, yes... Maybach... pronounced MY-BOCK. This enormous beast is by far the most luxurious vehicle to roll off ANY assembly line. These cars have history as well dating to before most of us were born in the 1920s but diminished after the war until Mercedes got ahold of them in 1997. That is when the Maybach we see was derived.

You see, this car is not only purely amazing to look at, be in, or talk about, try the drive! Its smoother than a simulated drive! At nearly 400G it should be at least that! I am extremely impressed with Mercedes although not suprized, because this car is stunning. Lets look inside first under the hood, the worlds most powerful production engine a V12 with 2, not 1 but 2 turbos! Without tuning its already at a natural 573bHP.

Now lets talk about the inside, have you ever wanted the ambience of the outdoors with the privacy of your own courtyard? Well push a few damn buttons mate, and boom boom youve got your privacy cruising along comfortably reclined whilst sipping some Dom or Crystal. With an array of colors for both inside and out you win with this one. The studio has many accomodations for the customer, they can and will show you what your Maybach is going to look like in certain times of daylight.

No more "picture it in green at dusk" you actually get to see it. Dont get me wrong most of the people who buy these EXPECT this type of service, if you arent a dictator, or a musician, or an actor, you own some sort of multi-million dollar establishment. Like the man said, the wallet size is usually 10mil, easy! While I dont own a fleet of these, I do chose to travel by way of Maybach-Manufakturs impressive saloon.

The "MM" on the symbol does stand for Maybach-Manufaktur, and any guru would know those 2 words come from damn near 100 years of elite travel and excellence. While they were only ghosts over a vast period of that those who stood true now see what a Maybach truly is. Maybach = PURE Luxury.
