Maybach Zeppelin

Recession? What recession? Daimler is wagering that there are 100 people out there who still have enough disposable income and extra garage space to want the $600,000 limited-edition Maybach Zeppelin.

Perhaps it's no accident that the original Maybach Zeppelin hit the market during the 1930s Great Depression. (Maybach also built motors for Zeppelin airships; hence the name.) Among the over-the-top options are a perfume atomiser that, at the press of a button, infuses the cockpit with custom-designed fragrances. A massive V-12 motor is standard. Fuel crisis? What fuel crisis?
