Maybach Landaulet Review

In November 2007, Maybach had revived the aura of the cars of yesteryear, with its Landaulet study. The European premiere of this sparkling white one time the study was carried out in the Geneva Motor Show 78th. Beforehand, however, the public response to this masterpiece was overwhelming, so much so that Maybach decided to offer Landaulet based exclusively handmade to customer specifications. Maybach Landaulet Maybach car is one of the most desirable consumers like its predecessor, the Maybach Exelero.

A limited number of vehicles will be built in the Manufactured workshops Sindelfingenover a limited period. The best materials are carefully handcrafted by select specialists to meet the needs of most demanding customers - such as discerning Maybach clientele would expect. According to the index of the status of the latest luxury brand (LBSI), a survey of 531 recently voted most prestigious cars USmillionaires Maybach luxury brand.

Maybach is the name of the high-end luxury cars. It means more than easy to automotive engineering at the highest level, timeless elegance and style, precision and craftsmanship. Since about two-thirds of Maybach customers wish to customize the car exactly to your tastes and ideas, Maybach is constantly expanding its wide range of customization options.

The Maybach Landaulet was prompted by the clientele of Maybach. Experts know landaulet to be a car, the first section has a fixed roof, but the back has a hood to allow passengers to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air. Landaulet was formerly often used as parade cars in which the occupants could present themselves to the people on the roads. However, security considerations greatly relieved landaulet this function today.

Of course, this did not affect the legends surrounding the Maybach Landaulet car. Cars with driver, by nature, even today, remains one of the finest art products of the manufacturers. This applies to a particular degree of the Maybach Landaulet: innovative engineering, high quality, exceptional comfort and a luxurious ambience clearly place this Landaulet a cut above even the segment of luxury cars. As part of select materials and high quality, large numbers of specialists that are incorporated into the Maybach Landaulet with meticulous attention to detail and skill of the craftsmen. Genevacomes exposed in the vehicle with white Grand Nappa leather of high quality and exquisite black granite as well as glossy piano lacquer for trim elements.

The new Maybach Landaulet can be compared to super-luxury yachts - masterpieces of exquisite beauty and precious that combine advanced technology and exotic materials with an experience close to nature, addressing all the senses, and to take their owners far from conventional.

In technical terms the Maybach Landaulet is based on the Maybach 62 S - which can claim to be the world's most powerful series-production sedan driver. Maybach technicians have removed the rear roof module in order to afford passengers an unobstructed view of the sky above. The side walls were reinforced with invisible steel tubular structure integral. As these measures have not altered the silhouette of the luxury saloon, the generously dimensioned doors and the interior with reclining seats remain unchanged.

When closing the hood black Maybach Landaulet is based on the framework and the wind and weather. When asked by passengers, the driver has a switch on the center console. Fully automatic, electric motors then open the two locks that secure the top of the frame to fold, the top is folded and gently laid on the shelf in the back, with its integral rear windscreen made of a layer single safety glass. A hydraulic cylinder each on the left and the right to open and close the top virtually noiselessly. The engine power required is provided by an electro-hydraulic motor hidden in the side of the shoe. The opening and closing of the roof are choreographed to take place in less than 20 seconds. Of course, even with the top down the luggage compartment is always fully accessible Until now Maybach is one of the most popular cars and compete with the 2012 Ford Escape.

The driver is able to attach the folded roof with a fine leather case barrel, which hides both the roof mechanism from view and completes the overall picture of outstanding elegance. The hood has the same color as the inside of the rear compartment, creating a harmonious, organic link with the outside. A logo reading "Maybach Landaulet" in the color specified by the customer is embroidered on the cover, where it is visible to following traffic. The model was shown sporting elegant and discreet white-on-white logo: after all, not Maybach sedans do not want their effect with superficial stylistic features, but rather with the distinguished air of a first-class butler.

The Maybach Landaulet is a masterpiece of automotive engineering and comes with its own exciting, but distinguished, authentic style. The color scheme in the sample in Geneva another point, which shows that the Maybach Landaulet is designed as a chauffeured car. The spacious cabin in the rear of the vehicle is a white space tasteful style, while the driver is totally black. While this makes quite clear the respective roles, the seat behind the wheel of the Maybach Landaulet should certainly be one of the most coveted job for a driver. For here too, the material of exceptionally high quality are used.

Driver Zone is a model of success for the Maybach 62 S, but has been updated in several important ways. Center console and all the inserts are black piano lacquer surfaces. And a large leather appointments Maybach uses an exclusive, smooth black leather.

Passengers in the back of its optional contrasting color to enjoy the place in the sun. Theytravel is a well-heeled heels Nappa leather seats with all the luxury and exquisite style Grand Maximum. The basis for excellent comfort for rear passenger compartment, generous space, a Maybach Landaulet Maybach 62 S adopts the same two seats perfectly comfortable individual positively invite the rear passengers to sit back and relax. Such as stress, elegant individual rear seats allow even tall passengers to enjoy a comfortable reclining position, where passengers normally expect to find only the upper part of the modern airplane. Rear passengers can call the pre-set reclined position of a button, when the backrest smoothly tilts backwards to 47 degrees, while at the same time, the leg support and footrest extend.

This means that residents can enjoy a relaxing walk in a very skewed. Of course, the seat is easily adjustable for each passenger has their own, in particular comfort needs.

Seat comfort is further enhanced by pneumatically adjustable air cushions in the backrest and a program-controlled massage function. Pressing the "Pulse" button inflates and deflates the central air cushion in the lumbar region with precisely defined intervals and with varying intensity.

Each relaxing back massage lasts for five minutes and can be repeated as often as necessary.

Highly skilled labor, infallible taste, the use of unique materials and highest quality standards have been instrumental in the design of the back, and produced an outstanding result. Maybach Manufaktur has fitted the passenger compartment of the vehicle in the program almost completely in exquisite Seychelles White Nappa leather.

A contrast is provided in the car on the screen when you insert and decorative trim in black. But the white and black is not the only theme: warm and cool contrasts also help create an atmosphere. Some surfaces in the rear seats have shiny black piano lacquer, while many elements are in Star Galaxy granite from India. This rare stone is deep black in color, with many warm, gold inclusions.
