The Ten Best Concepts of the Decade #3: Maybach Exelero
The Exelero was the opposite of the revived Maybach line: creative, daunting, and outlandish. The brand was a forgotten prewar luxury marque on par with the Duesenberg and the Rolls. Beautiful as though its coachbuilt pieces were, Maybach never captured the global imagination. Postwar, the nameplate vanished till Daimler-Chrysler brought it back in the 2000s. The Exelero was an ‘05 showpiece meant to draw and impress Euro crowds. It did its job, with a gothic pizazz and a menacing 700 hp twin-turbo V-12. Promoters flaunted the car’s tremendous weight (nearly 6,000 lbs.) and even more massive price tag–$1,000,000. The Exelero was just too out there for the conservative Daimler folks, though. They stuck with stale and overdone S-classes as their Maybachs, rather than something that would stand out. The Exelero was never realistic, or sensible. But it wasn’t supposed to be. In that, it was faithful to the Maybachs of old.
Maybach Future Hanging in the Balance

Looks like the VW Phaeton won’t be the only stupid move the Germans make in luxury. The premium-class Maybach marque has failed to make the desired splash on the global luxury scene. The Maybach marque originated in Germany after World War I, but was retired at the start of World War II. Daimler-Chrysler opted to bring back the nameplate to tackle VW’s Bentley and BMW’s Rolls divisions. Well that hasn’t worked out so well; inspite of new alterations and an upcoming grand “Zeppelin” trim download house of wax download spy game divx , Maybach has become more stale than bread at a dollar store. Unless Maybach can make a big push into Asian markets, the brand will be dropped early in the new decade.
