Through a business partner of mine, I was able to get my hands on an '05 62" Maybach until Monday. Though all of us here at e60.net are probably against Mercedes, this car is absolutely AMAZING! Just thought I'd share a few pictures.




This car is HUGE!




omg, these rear seats can almost recline to a full flat sleeping position! Even with the seat fully reclined, theres still so much room between you and the driver's seat!


the two rear screens can play tv, dvd, system settings and a few other things i didn't get around to.


This is the sunroof with the panel closed. Those little dials you see display the MPH, time, and temperature.


This is a picture of my hand looking through the sunroof with the panel open with the sunroof panels set on "opaque"


Then presto-chango with the push of a button, the panels turn clear and you can see my hand now.


Drivers seat. Man, this car is filled with so much wood, leather, and suede its ridiculous! I guess a car worth $400,000 should have all this stuff huh?


Shot of the 5.5l V12 engine that pushes out 543hp!


I thought this was a nice touch to the car. The Maybach emblem on the projector headlights

I've seen yacths with the glass that can change like that, it's so cool. That and the phantom are first class all the way.

Neat car, isn't it? I had the opportunity to drive the shorter one (57?) and it was fun.

Did you notice the twin calipers for the brakes?

Very nice. Being wrapped in luxury like that can really spoil you.

Rear seats that recline to a flat position and curtains on the windows...good a place as any to get busy.

I knew those were fingerprints on top of the roof of my SLR. So you were the guy messing around with my car prior to delivery
