This is what I have been praying Maybach bring for quite some time now. It will be the ultimate four door. The proposed diret injection v12 with 600hp and 740tq sounds out of this world. Now I am confused a bit though: is this CLS-ish Maybach the cheaper version they are talking about, or it is part of the ultra lux, ultra expensive ones?

All in all, they have realized that the bland styling is to blame, and apparently they have a solution in mind. This hopefully means a shorter than planned lifecycle for the current generation of cars (10 years originally).
