Maybach Exelero: First Look

I weigh more than more than 2.5 tonnes, I am priceless, I look like the Bat-Mobile and I brutally abuse my rear tyres.
Any guesses? I am the Maybach Exelero.
If you haven’t heard of the Maybach Exelero just yet, you will very soon, as the cumbersome 2-seat super luxury grand tourer could be gearing up for a history-making world speed record.
The Exelero, which has been styled to pay homage to the streamlined sports cars from the 1930s, is not short on power: during early testing at a high-speed test track in Nardo in Italy it clocked a top speed of just over 351km/h (218mph).
Can it go faster? We’ll have to wait and see…
Maybach says that the stunningly heavy 2660kg prototype coupe was built for Fulda Reifenwerke to use as a “reference vehicle for a newly developed generation of wide tyres”.
Fulda Reifenwerke will put the almost 6.0 metre long beast through its paces with lots of track testing - no production models have been planned yet - and the result will be a tyre range tailored for extreme speeds.
Cynics might argue that the stunning Exelero is just another excuse to say ‘up yours’ to all the other European high speed exotics out there - the market is now more populated than ever - and for Mercedes-Benz to stake its claim as a dominant force at the pointy end of the automotive industry.
