Mercedes-Benz Reprises Role in Sex and the City 2 Film [with Video]

Question for our readers: In your opinion, how do four cougar-aged women who can't keep their panties (or their brains) on after one shot of tequila and a guy named 'Mr Big' relate to Daimler's Mercedes-Benz and Maybach products/brand?

While you think about it let us tell you that, as with the first installment of the male-snoozefest that is "Sex and the City", the sequel to the movie that hits cinemas on 27 May will see most characters driving or being driven in a bunch of Mercedes-Benz and Maybach models.

Maybach Coupe 57S: Official Pictures of Limited Production Special by Xenatec

Since Mercedes-Benz's parent company Daimler has no official plans to introduce an 'uber' luxurious coupe for its fading Maybach brand, the company gave its blessing to German-based engineering firm Xenatec to create a two-door version of the Maybach 57S.

Said to be developed in close cooperation with Maybach, the 57S Coupe special will be built in a strictly limited number of 100 examples each priced from a hefty €650,000 or about US$805,000 at today's exchange rates.

The transformation from a limo to a coupe includes redesigned A-, B- and C-columns with the second column moved back by 200mm, a more raked roofline, restyled front and rear ends, and a slightly wider body while retaining the same 3.39m-long wheelbase as the sedan model.

Beijing Auto Show: Maybach's Face-lifted Offerings

Maybach, Daimler's Bentley/Roller division, is debuting the face-lifted versions of its 57 and 62 models in Beijing (now "with added sparkle"!). What can we expect from the little mega-luxury brand that couldn't?

First off, the body gets a few pinches here and there: a redesigned front bumper gets some extra trim, the new arrow-shaped hood gets snazzy edges and bigger, aerodynamic mirrors improve merging and now reduce driving noise.

Outside, the newish models will also feature more bling in the form of "a large new chrome radiator grille", LED daytime running lights, "high-quality dark red taillights", and "stylish wheels".

The Maybach luxury cars

Maybach Landaulet
The $1.4 million Maybach Landaulet is a chauffeur-driven car with a top that can be opened fully at the rear, while the chauffeur's compartment remains completely enclosed. A partition screen with clear glass and curtains dissects the car, and folding tables in the back allow for afternoon Champagne lunches on the go--on reclining white-leather seats, of course. When the weather doesn't allow for such things, there's a Dunhill umbrella stowed in a special slot on the door.
Maybach 62 Zeppelin
If you hate the smell of exhaust or the skunk you just passed on the highway? you should buy the Maybach 62 Zeppelin, your nose will never have to suffer again. The car comes with a built-in, illuminated atomizer that gently diffuses the fragrance of your choice throughout the cabin. The cost of the car is around $506,500.

1939 Maybach SW38 Spohn Sport Roadster

German car manufacturer Maybach existed for a relatively brief period of time (1921-1941), yet managed to build more than its share of superlative automobiles. Considered a somewhat less flashy rival to Mercedes-Benz, Maybachs still had plenty of style and performance. The 1939 Maybach SW38 Spohn Sport Roadster is one of the most beautiful Maybachs ever, with thoroughly modern technology such as an electrically welded and cruciform-braced chassis, and fully independent coil suspension. Classic cars and vehicles like this were featured at the 2008 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

Carro de 8 milhões de dólares

A Maybach é conhecida por fabricar alguns dos modelos luxosos mais exclusivos do mundo. Mas, em maio de 2005, durante do Salão de Berlim, a montadora alemã se superou ao apresentar o carro-conceito Exelero. Três anos depois, o exemplar único é colocado à venda por “módicos” US$ 8 milhões.

Baseado nas linhas do clássico da marca SW 38, fabricado nos anos 30, o protótipo de dois lugares e 5,89 metros de comprimento é equipado com um motor V12 biturbo de 700 cavalos de potência.

Tanta potência, o levou aos 351,45 km/h já no primeiro testes em uma pista italiana de teste, em Nardo.

Construído em parceria com a fabricante de pneus Fulda Reifenwerk, para desenvolver pneus de alta performance, o Exelero foi construído por especialistas em design da cidade de Torino, na Itália, na plataforma do Maybach 57 S.
