maybach zeppelin

Daimler's Maybach luxury brand is debuting a new model called the Zeppelin. Touted as the "absolute zenith in high-end luxury" sedans, the Zeppelin lineup -- based on the 57 S and 62 S -- uses nothing but the best interior materials and employs a more powerful AMG-built V-12 engine.

With the exception of 28 more horses under the hood (for a grand total of 640 hp), the current Maybachs are essentially the same thing -- both varieties offer customers with near endless interior and exterior options for the full customization of their "land yachts" -- but to stay true to the exclusive Zeppelin moniker, designers implemented a few subtle changes. For instance, new are the set of 20-in. alloys finished in a Chrome Shadow Finish, darker red tinted tail lights out back, sleeker side mirrors and the unmistakable "Maybach Zeppelin" badges plastered on the hood, trunk, door sills, partition and standard issue silver champagne flutes.

However, the Zeppelin's most highly regarded feature is a world-first plexiglass sphere perfume atomizer ($5104). The Maybach-patented atomizer dispenses a "delicate scent" of the customer's choice throughout the rear cabin for a refreshing aroma while cruising.

Only 100 editions will be produced for worldwide sale beginning March 3, so those with the funds better act quick. Deliveries are slated for September of this year. Let's not forget price: An easy 406,000 euro ($523,465) for the 57 Zeppelin and 473,000 euro ($609,850) for its bigger brother, the 62 Zeppelin.
