THIS MAYBACH IS HOT

Dubbed the Cruiserio, the special Maybach made its debut at Daimler headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany. The coupe retains most of the parts of the saloon, including its 600+ horsepower twin-turbocharged V12 engine, but modifies much of the bodywork and swaps four doors for two larger ones.

Only 100 examples will be made with a €675,000 ($894k) price tag. But with a waiting list extending 9-12 months, if you want this particular example, it’s available via JamesList from the Saudi capital of Riyadh for # € 715,000 (approximately $940k).

I'm getting one for the new year.

THE END OF THE MAYBACH HAS COME

Looks like production on the Mercedes Maybach luxury sedan is about to end due to lackluster sales and cost. Mercedes-Benz’s parent company Daimler is looking to slowly phase out the Maybach brand and focus on custom luxury editions of the S-Class Mercedes according to reports. Even rich people aren't splurging like they used to.
