Maybach 57SC Concept

[porlamfer]

I visited Villa d'Este Concorso d'Eleganza last weekend. The classic cars impressed me a lot. But outside the show I was also impressed by a visitor's car: a Maybach 57SC~

It is interesting that this car has only Maybach badges, because the Xenatec show car at Geneva Motor Show has no Maybach logos.

I took a lot of shots. I hope you enjoy them.;)

Wow, really? That sounds interesting:p

yep, we saw the car as well, it was parked then before the reception of the RM auction at Villa Erba. Unfortunately we were in shuttle to the parking garage, so no shots.

May be a bit off topic, but what does a ticket for the Concourse cost? Or is it free (wishful thinking :D) ?

the concours on Saturday is by invitation only. (There is simply not enough room to accommodate the people). The sunday part at Villa Erba is open to the public, but I do not know the price. UCP has free access both on saturday and sunday:).

Aww crap... :(. But at least you can take photos for the rest of us poor mortals :D.

the views for the public on Sunday are quite good, and you see all the cars being driven along the grandstands.

I bought a two-day-ticket for Villa Erba, which costed 14 Euro (because I am a student. The normal price was 20 Euro for 2 days). On the first day I had a close view of the vehicles that was going to be auctioned. And on the second day I took photos for the rest of the cars. Although there were many visitors on Sunday, the show was still really worthy to be seen.:cool: And you could also capture nice shots!

i'm liking the German being written in some posts all of a sudden, i knew this past semester taking German I would help somewhere :D

This car is why every company should have a hero sports car, or in this case, a hero grand tourer. It somehow makes the tarted-up-Merc Maybach shape look good, even if it is grossly long. I've never been one for the modern Maybachs, but somehow this changes everything.

So the entry price is really low, and the Saturday now is a bonus, caused by the Motorcycle concours, in combination with the viewing day for the auction. Normally nothing is going on on Saturdays.

The problem with this car is the excelero.

Excatly.

This is just a supersized CL with Mayback badges.

You get bonus points for that :p

The Maybach Exelero should definitely have gone into production (I mean it still looks modern today), but I'm happy with any coupe Maybach produces. They just need one.

I really wanna go there one day... and those pictures are very nice!!

So do you guys just apply for press badges for all the events you cover? How hard was it, at first, to convince the events the first few times that you guys had a legit car forum and weren't just some dudes with a random fan page who wanted to freeload into the events?

Good photos! =D I've seen it saturday night for the RM Auction and before to Monte Carlo for the Top Marques. A very nice car, isn't it? =D

I wish they would make a Formal coupe with a notch or square back. I miss those, Rolls has the right Idea except built from the wrong car. A Ghost formal coupe would look incredible
