he'd drive this - the Maybach Excelero.

Twin-Turbo V12, 700 bhp @ 5000 rpm, 753 lb-ft @ 2500 rpm
0-60 mph:4.4 sec, Top Speed: 218mph, Curb Weight: 5850 lbs.

V12? Twin turbo? 5800lbs? Holy Jesus that thing has to suck some fuel.. If you can afford the car it shouldn't be a problem though.

Man this Maybach weighs like approximately twice my SVX... I was wondering where is the center of that weight?

Engine, Rims and some interior luxuries.

Btw, the car is currently a concept that uses a new type of tire. I don't have any further info but I will look it up at some point.

I love looking at the Maybach displays at the Detroit auto show. They make some amazing cars. Their limos have fully automated doors with automated curtains, office centers with wireless internet access, etc.

I think the center of weight seems to be at the bottom, right in front of the side mirrors. But thats just me I suppose.

And yes, he does look like him. He just needs to be wearing a grey swaetsuit with green windbreaker as well as beanie.

Guys but 5900 LBS is insane!!! I bet you this monster is also bulletproof... there is no way in the world an ordinary car weighs that much, even if it had a W16 engine (I think Bugatti)... and from 0-60 in 4.4 secs? I always ADORED mercedes benz technology

Weebitob · #13 08-10-2005, 11:33 PM

Don't forget the two big turbos as well as the big chromed exhause, rims and other parts.
