Re: Re: Maybach Exelero...

Why don't people like this car? It's truly amazing...

I love the 1940's streamline era look.

IMO - that is lord vaders car or cruella devilles...

Re: Maybach Exelero...

I think she's perrty. Seriously, i think it's pretty cool and i don't mind the back either, it all reminds me of batman, all it needs is the wings at the back. if i had the money i'd buy it and add the wings at the back and go around dressed as batman pretecnting to fight crime.

The car looks badass. The angular lines make it look real mean. It reminds me of the chrylser Phaeton concept from Gran turismo. Anyone remember? It does have ungodly understeer, but it moves in a straight line pretty good. I'd buy it.

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!

Re: Maybach Exelero...

"Lord Vader, your car is ready..."

You are very right indeed


This thing sucks real hard. I tell you I would really prefer the ford focus... Just watch how slow it corners. It's a cow in a horse race...
