Today, there is just a small set of pics because I'm on a 56K modem ( which kills my nerves)
This Maybach 57S was presented in a tent in St.Moritz during the Polo event.
The 57S is available in only two color combos:
black with white interiour or silvermetallic (there was one in geneva) with a dark interiour.
The AMG powered 6litre V12 Biturbo engine produces 612hp and 1000Nm :shock: - the 2.735tons are accelerated from 0-100km/h in 5.0s only. The feeling on a racetrack should be surprisingly good (according to a testdriver which compared the SLR and a 57S on a racetrack, but well maybe this snetence is more PR work
)
On the other side is the luxury handcrafted car with an endless list of "built-in" features, i.e. there are 21 loudspeakers in a standard model ....
Well, you're going to ask, who will buy such a car with sportscar performances and luxury equipment ??
I don't know? I guess they wanted to create a hi-end drivers-car for a rich arabic son of a scheich ?
Now let's have a look at a few pics, IMO the design is quite nice, I like the "shiny-diamond" front lights
everybody knows these situations - one is about to shoot a picture, and then, a person walks in your field of view and grrrrrrr.. blocks your sight ...... but if your lucky (very rare), you just enjoy the view
here's the picture of the drivers side, that I actually wanted
