If only that Maybach would have happened instead of the rebadged S class we have now...

Maybach should have been a stand alone MB. The W222 S-Class is a fantastic car, but making it larger and including some fancy extras on the rear is not enough to compete with RR and Bentley.

Are Maybach 600s built by hand?
I think they would compete better if Maybach had its own plant like RR or Bentley. A place where cars are built rather than assembled.

So I'm guessing the exterior previews the new shape of the CLS .... pretty much a carbon copy of the A7.

 

[sanpt7777]

Lol .......I see what you did there

However, there was these sketches and model of a future Maybach

Comparing it to the Unimog is a compliment tho
I love that truck

I can see the W222 inspired heavily from it (the concept, not the Unimog xD)

Interesting interpretation of a prolapsed rectum they've got going on there...

Which in turn is a copy of the original CLS

Edit: I think you should forget about your fanboyism and recognize the true originator of the 4 door coupe movement...





that's right...





here...



I present...



the Chevy Citation Hatchback

I saw the same comment on Jalopnik do you post there?

Nope - never frequented Jalopnik. Bad minds think alike.

I think Mercedes Benz got that long tail end and aerodynamic inspiration from some 1950's concept cars

 

[klier]

Both Mercedes and Audi have taken active aerodynamics to the next level, they have gone beyond active spoilers to actually changing the shape of the car.

You can see that the extensions at the back helps prevent air flow separation from the body of the car and minimise the area of turbulent air /wake behind the car, thus reducing drag and improving aero efficiency.

Hum, I think you forget BMW who started it with GINA.

Wow. I had to do a double-take.

A comment like that deserves...

Basically aiming for a teardrop shape. Taking the Kammback to the next level

speaking of teardrop-shape:
railton mobil special

(top speed: 400mph+)
venturi buckeye bullet

and speed demon

(top speed: 462mph, peak measured speed)

^Don't forget the Prius m8



It will do around 165 km/h without a hitch

Mercedes-Benz seem to have a real Saab fetish lately this and the C-Coupe can be considered Saab-like.

I mean, who doesn't?

This IAA was so impressive. I get chills when I think of all the amazing things that happened. Dr Zetsch did a very impassioned speech about immigrants. The video screens, music ... The whole thing. Just awesome.

Looks like the afterburner gives you 35 Cd points.

The interior is for sure the new E-Klasse.

@Wolfgang, I'm pretty sure we were right on top of each other
