Maybach Reviews

Maybach, Germany's storied maker of opulent automobiles, can trace its roots to the jet engine manufacturing company founded by Wilhelm Maybach and his son Karl in 1909. While the Stuttgart-based badge eventually abandoned the aeronautical industry, the emphasis on high-powered performance engineering remained at the company's core. Revived by Daimler AG after a nearly 40 year hiatus in 1997, Maybach occupied an exclusive niche in the corporation's lineup, producing some of the most sought-after luxury sedans in the world. Unfortunately, the Maybach badge was discontinued in 2011 due to flagging sales and low consumer demand for the manufacturer's brand of ultra-high-end passenger cars.
