Extreme Luxury: The Maybach Landaulet
When people think of luxury cars there are certain names that just come to mind. One of those is Maybach, they have been producing top of the line luxury cars for more than a hundred years. Currently their top offering is the Landaulet which takes the concept of luxury cars to a whole new level. Of course with a price tag of well over a million dollars this is to be expected.
The Maybach Landaulet is clearly the ultimate luxury vehicle; it would be hard to imagine anybody building one that could exceed it in this regard. The interior is of course filled with the finest leather used to make seats that are incredibly comfortable. The rear seats have a refrigerator, folding tables and even champagne flutes. Perhaps the most remarkable par t is that the rear of the car has its own retractable roof. This allows the rear seats to get the benefits of being a convertible while the front seats remain covered.
In some respects the Maybach Landaulet may take things too far, like the doors that close automatically. The company says right in its advertising that true luxury shouldn’t include any physical effort. Therefore the doors will close themselves. There is also a park assist to relieve you of that issue as well, not that we think that many Maybach owners drive themselves. This is clearly a car that is intended to be used as a limousine as the most luxurious features are located in the rear seats. That being said you may well want to get up front and drive it yourself.
For a car that was designed with luxury in mind the Landaulet can really perform. The engine is a twin turbo V12 that is built by parent company Mercedes. It produces more than six hundred horsepower allowing the car to reach a top speed of 278 kilometers per hour. The car also handles quite well; the drive train and the suspension all come from the top of the line Mercedes models. As a result the car can really perform better than almost any other limousine that you are going to find out there; really it can outperform most sports cars.
If you want to experience the luxury of the Maybach Landaulet you are going to have to order one well in advance. They are all built to order by hand. The result is a car that is of unsurpassed quality. It has all of the luxury that can be produced by highly skilled craftsmen while at the same time the technical components come from one the top car makers in the world. The number of cars that the company builds is strictly limited in order to maintain the exclusivity that owners expect. Of course with a price tag of 1.4 million dollars the number of potential customers is fairly limited anyway.
