Th front end is a very aggressive look.. a bit much, and the distance between the grill slits is almost like teeth

im guessing its trying to be big, emposing and aggressive like a few cars around these days.. but it is a bit over the top... luckily.. its a concept :P

i dont think the interior is THAT bad.. doesnt have a plastic dashboard lol
but the red n black decor does look like it came from a dominatrix wardrobe
come to think of it the front end looks like a sub's mask :lol:

sorry guys, but I LOVE it... if I were to ever in my life get some sort of a luxury car, or a car just to do freeway time in, that would definetly be it!

Wow...car magazine made a great first drive article on it....basically the story is the following...
The excelero concept car is in fact, a test car for tyre maker Fulda, who has come up with the new "excelero" tyres, made for 200mph+ speeds....The reason why they asked maybach, is to celebrate a previous joint venture by both brands, a loooong time ago....it's faster than the enzo, and weighs sth like 2 tons....Car also called it darth vader's car......

Very weird...

No matter if they would build a car of fudge and sell it for 1 million dollars, people would still buy it!

I don't know... there will be buyers obvisouly

"If Darth Vader had a Company Car" was pretty close to a title of a Eurocar segment about a blacked out Mercedes S55. Black rims, tint, and trim... I still like the maybach better though.
