Re: Maybach Exelero...

i'm not surprised it has a lot of understeer, it weighs well over 3 tons with a huge V12 out front, but with twin turbos and 700 horsepower, i'm sure it's nothing a little extra throttle can't fix
i was actually pretty impressed at how flat it cornered for how heavy it is.

as for the styling, very dynamic. i like to think of it as darth vader's version of the batmobile. it's sleek and aggressive. futuristic but with a 1940s-esque shape.

this thread reminded me of car and driver's test of the maybach 57 and i went back and reread it. absolutely amazing vehicle. it has every luxury feature you could imagine, plus some that you probably haven't. pushing 20ft long and over 6000 lbs, it hits 60 in 4.9 seconds! and that's with "only" 543hp. the exelero seems to match the dimensions and weight of the 57, but it has 700hp and almost twice as much torque as the 57!
