Maybach just released new Landaulet for $1.3 Million

eMercedesBenz as you may remember, back in November Maybach unveiled their open-top landaulet study - a concept that channeled the landaulet designs of yesteryear by boasting a retractable rear roof (while allowing the chauffeur's compartment to remain fully enclosed). Today, Maybach has announced the landaulet will be made officially available for production, making it the fifth model in the consummate brand's lineup.

More photos and full press release at eMercedesBenz or you can click the link below to go straight to the story.
