    Maybach Coupe Exelero, or... to us Americans, the next Batmobile.

    It is enough for Bruce Wayne and the boy wonder? Let's look at the details:
    Dimensions and weights
    Wheelbase: (mm): 3390
    Length: (mm): 5890
    Breadth: (mm): 2140
    Height: (mm): 1390
    Unladen weight: (kg): 2660
    Permitted total weight: (kg): 2960

    Engine
    Construction: V-engine, 60° bank angle
    Number of cylinders: 12
    Cubic capacity (cm³): 5908 cm³
    Performance (kW): 515
    (Hp): 700
    at revs/min: 5000
    Max. torque: (Nm): 1020 at revs/min: 2500

    Chassis and Performance
    Wheel mounting
    front: Double wishbone axle
    rear: multi link rear axle
    Tires: Fulda Carat Exelero
    front: 315/25 ZR 23
    rear: 315/25 ZR 23
    Brakes: Internally ventilated disc
    Type front: 4x4 piston fixed caliper (2 calipers)
    Diameter (mm): 376
    Type rear: 2x4 piston fixed caliper
    Diameter (mm): 355
    ABS / ESP
    Maximum speed (km/h): 351,45
    Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (s): 4,4


    Let's see, that's Zero to 60 in about 4.5 seconds with a 5,000+ pound car that is nearly 20 feet long!

    guess they had a few spare slr parts they needed to use up, or to amortize the original costs for the slr....

    btw, saw one today in black....its starting to grow on me a little

    I actually kinda like the looks. Seems extremely impractical, but then again, most supercars are.

    I dont think the market could support another super car. its pretty crammed right now. I dont think the maybach one owuld be anything really that special.

    i think it looks nice... It's certainly more in the way of eye candy than the Maybach is... Still, it's so big... Why be so big and sporty...?



    Look! A stretch Crossfire...! :)

    I almost hate to admit that I like how it looks. I agree the interior looks pieced together, but the outward styling is quite striking. I definitely see the Crossfire in there though which is a bit of a disappointment & the rear kinda sticks up a bit high. Maybe as a roadster it would work a bit better...reminiscent of the old Auburn boattail and the like.

    Who cares ? That thing looks KEWL. I wish someone could special order the thing with a real manual box.



    Hopefully it would then tank 65% in three/four years.






    Dah da da dah da da BATMAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hell NO.

    We all hope they "flood" the market. Then the values will tank. CGT, SLR (not my cup of tea), Ford GT, etc......
