Maybach AMG Model

Any one think AMG will come out with their version of the Maybach. I think it would be sweet if they made an AMG Maybach. Now that would be nice wouldn't it?

It would be nice, if they tuned the 500 hp 6.0 litre V12 motor to 6.5 litre or something. That would be true power...

..........the maybach as is a V-12 and as is, goes from O-60 in 5.4 secs. This is faster than CLK 55, S 55, or CL 55. I think an AMg version is probanly not in the plans. But who knows?

Well considering the Maybach is not being marketed under the Mercedes-Benz name, there is NO chance of an AMG version.

Ya know, as soon as I read the subject of this thread, I knew it was by you streetburner, even though I had not even looked at who the author was yet .

Well that all depends on the driver you get! Remember the car can do 0-60 mph in 5.4 secs!

The 5.4 second time was actually the time tested from 0-62MPH. So theoreticly, the May will get to 60 in 5.2/5.1 seconds.

I am positive that Brabus, Renntech, Lorinser, etc. will have something in store for the Maybach. Although, I assure you that it will be purely for novelty purposes only.

For the amount of money spent on brabus mods they should include 1 hour massage to relax you after spending all that money.

I don't beleive physics would allow a car like the Maybach to acheive 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, nomatter how much horsepower and torque you put it in.

Well, if the G500 can do the 0-60 in under 8 seconds, then a Maybach can do it in 3.5. You just need the right stuff under the hood, strapped onto the back, the front, the sides, etc.

I propose...lets get Rolls-Royce Aerospace and PEG together on this...hehe I'm sure they can figure something out.

If an F16 cannot do 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, the Maybeast sure as hell can't!

The Lingenfelter Corvette can do 0-60 in 3.4 seconds, and this car is as light as a feather with 750hp.
