Mercedes Benz 600 laughs at Maybach Zeppelin
February 12th 2009 14:02
Just when you thought it was safe to return to the autobahns, Maybach, sorry, Mercedes Benz have unveiled the poorly named Maybach Zeppelin!
Now M/Benz will not like what I am about to say but this is NOT the best S class. This pachyderm of a pretender pales when compared with the 600 Grosser!
The 600 was the most technically advanced car of its day thanks to its hydraulic suspension, windows, seats and even sunroof! Available in two wheelbases- Huge and Bloody hell its big! the 600 could also be had in a landauette version, just the thing for the brave but sunburnt dictator owner!
Famous or infamous owners of the original include names like Amin, Brezhnev, The Beatles and even a Holy Father or two! This car had style and performance as it lap times round the Mercedes Benz test track proved, it wa a quick as the 280SL!
Look at the two pictures and tell me, which one do you want?
