A nice man just arrived at my house to take away the metallic two-tone (Tiege light gray and Rocky Mountain light brown) Maybach 62 that we've been driving for the past ten days. During that time, we have told at least one hundred curious, sometimes awestruck fellow travelers what a Maybach is, how it's pronounced ("MY-bock"), how fast it goes (very), and how much it costs (plenty). My wife became an expert at putting them into the reclining rear seats and demonstrating the refrigerator, the more

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. more

Mercedes-Benz released an even more powerful version of its Maybach 57 at Geneva in an effort to jump-start sluggish sales of its ultraluxury brand.

John Evans was a high-spirited Welshman who seemed to be perpetually in motion. He became our boss on August 1, 1985, when we joined Murdoch Magazines and went to work on the project that would become Automobile Magazine. He was a keen deep-water sailor with three Atlantic crossings to his credit, and he was also a surprisingly talented driver of vintage racing cars. During the short time that he was our overseer, he had a Morgan, an Austin-Healey 100, and a replica C-type Jaguar, which came more

Paris saw the premiere of the short-wheelbase Maybach 57; its longer sister (the Maybach 62) made its own debut early this July in New York. Although the cars are virtually identical on the inside, Maybach treats them as separate vehicle lines—and both models are expected to carry the brand, according to Mercedes' American chief, Paul Halata. If wheelbase equals comfort, then the 57 is the second most luxurious vehicle in the world, featuring twenty-one speakers, rear seats that recline more
