2011 MAYBACH photo gallery

Maybach-Motorenbau GmbH (IPA:[ˈmaɪ.bax]) (founded 1909) is a German luxury car manufacturer. It was founded in 1909 by Wilhelm Maybach with his son Karl Maybach as director. The company was originally a subsidiary of Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH and was itself known as "Luftfahrzeug-Motoreinbau GmbH" (literally "Airship Engine Company") until 1918. Today, the brand is owned by Daimler AG and based in Stuttgart.

1909-1940: EARLY HISTORY

Maybach has historic roots through the involvement of Wilhelm Maybach, who was the technical director of the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft. The company originally developed and manufactured diesel and gas engines for Zeppelins, and then rail cars.

The company first built an experimental car in 1919, with the first production model introduced two years later at the Berlin Motor Show. Between 1921 and 1940, the company produced various classic opulent vehicles. The company also continued to build heavy duty diesel engines for marine and rail purposes.

Maybach contributed to the German war effort in World War II by producing the engines for the formidable Panther and Tiger tanks such as the Maybach HL230. After the war the factory performed some repair work, but automotive production was never restarted, and some 20 years later, the company was renamed into MTU Friedrichshafen.

1997-PRESENT: REVIVAL

In 1997, Mercedes-Benz presented at the Tokyo Motorshow a luxury concept car under the name Mercedes-Benz Maybach (V12, 5987 cc, 550 hp). Mercedes-Benz decided to develop it; however, Mercedes made the decision to market the car under the sole brand name of Maybach.

Maybach was therefore revived as a brand in the early 2000s, with the production of the new model in two sizes — the Maybach 57 and the Maybach 62. The numbers are equal to the lengths of the automobiles in decimetres. In 2005, the new 57S was added, sporting a 6.0L V12 bi-turbo engine, producing 604bhp (450kW) and 737lb·ft (999N·m) of torque, and featuring various cosmetic touches.

Corvette C7 Will Transformers turn this concept

Movies surely do not have that power, but the sequence of “Transformers” has brought a car that, among many that are already produced, such as Hummer H2, or are about to be, such as Chevrolet Beat, seems to be in one of these two conditions. Meet the vehicle that is being pointed out as the next generation Corvette, the C7:

Corvette C7

This gorgeous vehicle can be reputed as the next Corvette for many reasons. First of all, it is a car that really works. Secondly, there is more than one of these “concepts” in the picture. Thirdly, and most important of all, it keeps the basic identity of a Corvette. The first two factors could be credited to shooting demands, although “Speed Racer” has not used a single working automobile.

It will be no surprise if, besides the movie, this car appears as a Corvette Concept in Detroit or any other relevant international motor show, only to have its series production announced to begin a couple of years ahead. This story may sound like the movies but, for now, it really is!

Corvette ZR1

In August, Corvette Racing will officially debut their GT2 class entry at the Mid-Ohio ALMS race.
The new GT2 car has body work inspired by the ZR1 Corvette.
