Sorry if this has been done but I couldn't find it posted anywhere else on PH, actually info on it is quite hard to find anywhere.

[quote=automobile]This is my kind of show car. The two-seat land yacht measures 232 inches from bow to stern, exceeding the stately Maybach 57 on which it is based by the length of a Davidoff stogie--if that's not overkill, I don't know what is. Equally outlandish is the engine, a frighteningly free-breathing, twin-turbocharged, 5.9-liter V-12 that coughs up max power of 691 hp and 752 lb-ft of very low-end torque.
And then there's the styling. Vulgar, over-the-top, and utterly beguiling, it's perfect transport for Darth Vader. It looks as if it eats parked cars for breakfast, parties with dinosaurs, and went to school with the Frankenstein monster's son. In the unlikely case that the stance and the proportions leave you cold, the sound effects will grab you by the eardrums. The two pornographic side pipes emit a thunderous, earth-shattering noise. Oh, and by the way, it does 218 mph.[/quote]
This has got to be THE most evil looking car I've ever seen. This is what Mercedes should have done with the Maybach, not that piece of boring crap they made instead. This oozes coolness and F**k you attitude. Well worth however many millions it costs :driving:
