But look at that exterior.......I'd sit on a wooden stool with no power steering to be seen in that thing! EVERYONE would look at you, from now until the end of time. That needs to become a production car, FAST.

I'm gonna go against most of you and say that it looks cool, but I gotta be honest in saying that I would expect a lot more if I was going to drop 2.3 mil on a ride.
That car is almost TOO pimp.....if it's possible......

I'm not sure what to make of it...

^^ oh nice find. damn.
btw keep in mind this car is a one-off custom car, it needs to stand out from the rest - so the interior - with the red - it needs that flair to it - if it was just all black, people would say it was boring.
pimp on...

Nvm! Got some tidbits and pics!
===============
The Maybach high-performance show car "Exelero" was unveiled to the world for the first time in the Tempodrom in Berlin. The 700-bhp two-seater with a V-12 biturbo engine is a unique custom model produced for Fulda tire company, which is using the Maybach Exelero as a reference vehicle for a newly developed generation of wide tires. The German manufacturer of luxury cars built the unique model as a modern interpretation of its legendary streamlined sports car from the 1930s, thereby forging a link with the historical predecessor, which at that time was likewise based on a powerful Maybach automobile (SW 38) and used by Fulda for tire tests.
The Exelero embodies the highest expression to date of the Maybach individualization strategy of offering specific custom solutions on request. In initial tests on the high-speed track in Nardo (Italy), the unique vehicle reached a top speed of 217.97 mph (351.45 km/h). Developers at Maybach designed the custom model with the participation of students from Pforzheim College. The Exelero was built by the prototype specialists at Stola in Turin (Italy).

hhmm...after seeing that pic, I would say that it would be one of the few cars (if not the ONLY car) that I would actually be scared of seeing on the road...it just looks mean.
