Why would you want to see the outside? They are hideous. The Rolls is a much more classier vehicle from the outside.

Very nice. Is the wood real? I'm guessing it is as it is a million buck car.

Don't see the value in it myself. Pure ugliness from the outside but I guess I could handle being driven around in it from time to time. Looks very comfortable inside, but the colour of the wood and all the grey velour... ugh.

I had a good look at the Maybach that Capital Star had for a little while. I was disappointed with the amount of components I spotted off the W220 S class. Not to mention it scared my 2 year old! I commented to the sales man that for the price I would go the S65 AMG with some personal options and still have change for the wife's A class. .

The wood is real. 1 tree per door probably 1000 years old. the leather is from 6mts old calfes.

Carpet is virgin sheep backs from New Zeland.

I think this cars aim is to make you comfortable as possible. Those girls have probably just sat in the most expensive car they will ever see. (not dissing anyone).

Apart from a Rolls is their anything more expensive?

Is it the 57 or 62.

Laughing my **** off that Mercedes let you take a million dollar car home and let a P plater use it. :togo: good on you guys though enjoy it

yeh it was just luck he got to bring it home, and yes he was insured for it if anything happened to it but he was actually the first person ever to bring it home, it was all luck.
you can pretty much choose anything you want in that car in terms of interior, like colour material etc.......
one awsome thing on it though was the transparent roof, you can make it see through if you want.

Awsome luck there man.

And you shouldn't have been shocked. You know the law in this age of technology. If there are no pictures, then it did not happen

A veyron is more expensive. But then again its got 1000 Hp.

I agree I don't think its worth over a mill. Its still merc inside, and plastic fantastic. It doesn't even look all that big inside.

The glass roof is nice, but you can get them on E classes and numerous other cars. The french cars have really open glass roofs and give the feel like your in a bubble.

Its not imposing enough for that sort of car. The rolls is. Neither have enough engine. Really for a vechical that size (rolls or mb 62) and 8 L V12 would be more approprate.
