Best back seat EVER!!!



See that above? Well that will be the BACK seat of the Mercedes limo Maybach coming out soon.






Here is the article:

Up until now this view of the inside of Mercedes' awesome Maybach would have set you back £25,000 – but Auto Express can reveal it for free. The picture makes up part of the exclusive 'welcome pack' sent to customers who've paid that money to put their names on the waiting list for the forthcoming car.
And judging by the luxury on offer inside the cabin, it's easy to see where the money is being spent. Only selected high-quality materials have been used, including sumptuous leather, the finest quality wood, discreet smoked glass, precious-metal plating and natural stone.

The interior boasts acres of space, and rear passengers get individual airline-style leather multi-contour seats. They can be adjusted to fully recline and have automatically telescoping leg and foot supports. There are several storage panels in the door and between the seats, while the entertainment and communications packages are displayed on two flat-screen monitors housed in the back of the front seats. These are linked up to a TV and DVD player, while a Dolby surround sound stereo and four-zone climate control are also standard. The starting price of a Maybach is a staggering £250,000, but the final cost depends on each client's specific requirements and could easily be double the original asking figure.

Another part of the customer pack is a certificate to confirm the reservation, personally signed by Mercedes board member Prof Jürgen Hubbert. This is bound in its own hardback presentation folder, and comes with photos displaying the brand's heritage. Buyers have two variants of the Maybach to choose from – the LWB model is a massive 6.16m long with a wheelbase measuring 3.83m, while the 'short' version is a more conservative 5.72m.

Both will use the new 5.5-litre turbocharged 'Type 12' engine, developing 550bhp and 900Nm of torque. On the outside all Maybachs have a two-tone finish of which several hundred combinations are possible, meaning each car will be totally unique. During the four-week construction period, customers can keep in constant touch with the craftsmen, and can even visit the plant to watch their motor being made.

And the specialist service doesn't end there – once they have collected their Maybach, every buyer has a personal liaison manager on call 24 hours a day through a specially programmed number on the car's standard-fit telephone. How the other half live!
