Hi, I'm Sue Callaway, Car Column for Fortune magazine, and I'm here in Barlia today to drive one of the rarest cars on Earth, the Maybach Exelero. It's a one of kinda hand-built eight-million-dollar 700 horse power monster.
What does it feel like to sit in an eight-million-dollar car? Expensive, the leathers are amazing, everything, all the details are handcrafted and hand laid, carbon fiber 1 in red and black to match my 6 point racing 2 harness .And you may be able to see in back, that there are 2 matching red carbon fiber helmets and that's because this bar was literally 3 built for the track for speed.
She is smooth, but she has a bite I can tell. Dispart at 0 to 60 in 4.4 seconds, listen to that engine.
Exelero was originally commission by the Fulda Tire company. They wanted to build a car of this vast size and capability 4 to prove that they can make extra large local fire tires that could carry 6 thousand pounds and go 218 miles an hour, no other sports car in the world has milled this large. Exelero was handcrafted in Italy, it took 8 million dollars of development money to get this car on the road in a surprisingly short 25 months, and in fact, the car was designed by students, by German designing transportation design students in 4 time at the university there. They use some really tricot materials on the interior, this whole, central console surround is actually neoprene. The stuffing mat suit to make up of. I've get up a plod 5 for the tire company and the Mercedes Maybach for building this. This is the kind of car that we did just don't get any more. In fact, this Exelero is spiritually based on another test car that was built by Fulda and Maybach back in 1939. Sadly in the war, that car was lost and no one has ever found it again. I can only hope that somebody opens up of some garage doors somewhere in the German countryside someday, and there it is.
You know, everywhere you run the car, people not only like it, they wanna touch it, they wanna own it. They all wanna know how much it costs, I scantly 6 park this car at the urban spectrum 7, in urban California the other day, and there is a crowd of people like swarming 8 mosquitoes that run it at all with their camera phones that one gentleman was so excited by the car, he had his camera backward to have taken pictures of themselves.
OK, I'm spoiled for life. I can't believe I have to go home and get into a real car again after this. Oh, Alas 9, the drive comes to an end too fast.
