Default Maybach at my local Mercedes dealership...

yep, same dealer that got the SLR McLaren in a week or so ago. Those pictures are here:

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1452405

I actually saw it driving down the road going the opposite way of me, so naturally I tried to figure out where it was going. I lost him when I got stuck in traffic but I assumed it was heading to the Mercedes dealer so I stopped by and sure enough it was there.

It's actually Michael Vick's Maybach, he's trading it in on a Bentley Arnage. Has only 1,600 miles on it and I must say, it got pretty dirty in that short time. Someone is actually interested in it already (just got there yesterday afternoon), don't know if the person is local or not though. The car is BIG. A sales rep that I know up there opened it up for me and let me check out the interior (sorry forgot to snap pictures in there! ). The interior is rediculous, the finest of everything and you've got more leg room than you'd believe in the back seat. Must be nice to be driven around in it. Anyway, here's the pictures, enjoy!





my favorite thing that I noticed it had on the headlights









2 calipers per wheel?

It's another one of those "you have to see it in person to appreciate it" cars. Looks really good in person, actually. I believe they go for around $300,000 but don't quote me on that.

Looks like a concept car from the 80's.

Incredible engineering. I don't really like it, but it's still a technological marvel.

yea these cars are far from the best Driver's car ever. The purpose is to be driven around in them in comfort(to say the least). They are not intended to please the driver, because if you can afford one of these cars you sure as hell are not driving it yourself.

Personally i think it would be pimp for an evening, roadtrip, or drive to the airport. But never will i spend 300k$ for my personal limo. I would rather have a fleet of real "driver" cars

The headlights, i recently saw a vw or audi with thier watermark on the projector too, so its not just MB's.

It really doesn't do much for me, amazing yes, but bentleys and RR Phantoms are better in my opinion.

But I guess when you're on that level you can have all three.
