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

here's the picture of the drivers side, that I actually wanted
