Mark your calendars – Daimler AG plans to decide the fate of Maybach by July 1. On the plate are two options – killing the slow-selling uber-luxury brand or partnering up with Aston Martin to produce a second generation model. Speaking at an event in Stuttgart, Germany last week, CEO Dieter Zetsche said “there is [...]
The Maybach Exelero is probably one of the hottest uber-luxury coupes we’ve ever seen. However, it’s unfortunate that Maybach only made one for Fulda Tyres, which used the car as test bed for a generation of wide tires.

Since the 2004 arrival of the DB9, all Aston Martins have been based on the company’s VH (vertical horizon) platform, which was developed during the time that Ford owned the English sports car manufacturer.

Ever since the Mercedes-Benz GL based Aston Martin Lagonda Concept debuted at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, rumors of the two companies working together have been popping up. Latest reports suggest that Aston Martin is in talks with [...]
If you’re looking for a uber-luxury coupe, you had better pay a visit to Bentley or Rolls-Royce. However, earlier this year, Xenatec released the first sketches of its new Coupe limousine based on the Maybach 57 S. Built by Karosserie Manufaktur Weinsberg – a division of XENATEC Group – the coupe Maybach 57 S was [...]
Most parents would get their 16 year old a used Honda Civic for their birthday (given that’s how old they would have to be to get their driver’s license), but when you’re the son of Diddy (aka Puff Daddy, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, P.
