We Saw A Mercedes Maybach Friday

[Mr Raced]

My favorite part is the recline seats in the back, but the twin turbos are nice too :bounce:

5.5 V12 Twin Turbo 543 hp, 664ftlbs, RWD, 0 to 60 in 5.1 sec, i think that will take a few of the DSM's out there. It weighs 7450 pounds too, and a top speed of 155mph, brembo brakes, i say its a decent rich mans ride. And just for shits and giggles Motortrend said this too, a Maybach 57 has lapped Germany's famed Nuerburgring racetrack faster than a Porsche Boxster S. Just food for thought. Heres a link :3gears: I think its pretty bad ass!!!

Yeah it will take a few dsms... pretty much stock ones. If you go by power to weight ratio, a FWD would only need about 265 crank hp to keep up with it. That mercedes weighs over 2.5 times a dsm.

Porsche boxters aren't that fast. The type s runs 0-60 in 5.7 and the regular porsche boxster rus 0-60 in 6.4. I couldn't find 1/4 numbers though.

My buddy works at a local Mercedes dealership and Latrell Sprewell had a couple of his hipo benz in and his maybach for some routine maintenance the other day. Bet it was his car that you saw.
