That car looks ridiculous.
Maybach should thank god for the Saudis, they'll buy anything. The more ridiculous and overpriced, the better.

Maybach's have always had crazy powerplants.
Although I'm not quite sure why that's called for in a car that is driven by a chauffeur. why does the person sitting in back care about 650 hp?

If you had millions to waste, would you buy a uber luxo-mobile with 300HP or 650HP? I think at that level of expense, the question isn't "why?", it's "why not?".

...or kidnappers/terrorists.
If you're that important, your "chauffeur" isn't some doofus, he'd have extensive evasion/HPDE experience.Eric

Like knowing how to drive a limo backwards 40+mph down an alley. That's just for starters.

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?
