2005 Maybach Exelero


Mike:I describe this car as the Batmobile produced for civilian production.
Sporting a V12 twin turbo producing 515kW reaching a top speed of 351kph with impressive new high-tech tires with dimensions of 315/25 ZR 23. with Maybachs strong reputation of elegance and their first class high end limo's this car was produced not with the intention of being a racing car but as a high speed vehicle that can retain the true elegance and acheive the powerful suppleness of a sports coupe.
The joint effort between Maybach and Fulda have achieved remarkable performance and elegance in a single autombile built incorporating several body design features from the original along the same lines as Holdens FJ50.
Again unfortunately this is a show car but deserves respect when commanding the road.

Puntiki: I am not 100% about this car. There is somethiung very Lexus about it. The steering wheel looks like it should be on a $20,000 car and I think it would date rather fast. Having said that kudos to the young lad that designed it, and wow to the power of the engine. I am sure it would be magnificent to drive, but I don't really like this car.

If Darth Vader weren't with the Dark Side, this would sooooo be him. Still pretty menacing looking, but Batmobile is apt. I like the inside, somehow it still has that appeal for real people.

I dont like the plane steering wheel.

I have to agree with Puntiki, the steering wheel could use a work over. Much to plain, think for the elegance they spent too much time and effort on everything else.

But so subtly styled. Good photographs too, the only ones I've seen before were from the Gizmodo site and they were more in line with mockups.

yukyukyukyukyuk. This has about as much chance of becoming a production car as Zsa Zsa has of aging gracefully.
