This is like the ultimate limo.

From what I can tell the car located somewhere in Europe.

Man oh man if I had the money, this thing would be armoured to the nines. Hehe

It doesn't fit. I had a client who bought one and had to remodel his garage to make it fit.

For an expensive car like this, I wonder why can't they design better looking wheels. These wheels look pretty damn cheap for a Maybach.

I think that this car is really nice inside but the outside is sort of ugly (IMHO). I never thought that they got the styling right. Now that Mercedes started borrowing design cues for the S class, I lost interest in the S also.

The inside is spectacular though.

Are you kidding me, like I would care about the wheels. My father in law is driven around in a maybach and I don't really care what the wheels look like.

Maybach 72 Comes With Room For You, Posse, & Video Ho’s

Currently up for sale on the private market for a cool $780,000 (or approximately 12 cases of Patron), this 2004 custom stretch Maybach 72 is a definite sign that the global economic woes are affecting even the upper crust. Other than the year, make, model, and price, very little is known about the vehicle other than its obviously been heavily modified to accommodate a large number of people (or, as is more likely, the entire board of directors for Def Jam records). Although the exterior alterations appear to be fairly drastic, we assume the Maybach 72’s engine is still the 62’s pristine 6.0L V12 and is thus still capable of producing 543 horsepower at 5250 rpm and 664 pound-feet of torque at 2300-3000 rpm. Now on paper, the Maybach 62’s engineering powerhouse is supposed to achieve 0-62 mph in under five seconds, but given the 72’s extra 10 centimeters of steel and what we assume to be 12 extra passengers, that five second track time has probably been altered just a tad.

No, balling would be the 2 Tahoe's, the Range Rover Supercharged, the Bentley Continental GT, the SL 65 AMG, and 750Li he has to go along with his Maybach 62. He had the 57, but remodeled his garage to be able to sell that and buy the 62.
