I don't like the car either. the thing looks like a squashed and stretched Studebaker and that interior.... Totally claustrophobic. How can it be a luxury ride when it cramps you up like that?
I think retro styling is pretty cool, but not this car.

The Beauty of the car to show everyone Im Rich and able to hide it? in a 6 meter 2 door coupe?
About 8 mil...Beauty is something you cant equivalent in money - BMW Z8 is beautiful, Mercedes Benz 300 SLR Gullwing is beautiful - THIS (aswell as all the Maybachs (under Mercedes Rule)) are just awful...
I believe Designing (it had to be RE-designed leaving the main looks and to please the aerodynamic experts) a Bugatti Veyron was a bit more expensive and those guys did an impressive job - if you dont fall in love with the car - you dont tend to go and "speak" to the toilet...
Sorry - but in my opinion - they could have done a great job on the design but failed - Cadillac sixteen is same in proportions but is a real ONE OFF, and actually looks monumental, and beautiful....this just doesnt..in fact - in my opinion you should put the guy responsible for the design foot in a bucke full of cement....and...well you get the idea

Hide it tastefully. I love BMW's but the Z8 is tacky and as for the SLR Gullwing yes its a very nice car and pretty fast too, but its dated and this is why its such a nice car.

You are aware of how many SLR Gullwings they built right? And are you also aware of the price on just a regular Gullwing? It isnt cheap and its for a reason!

Those were examples of beautiful cars...
just as Aston DB9 or Honda NSX, or any cheap car could be...
same as the Mazda 6, or the lexus is200... affordable - beautiful
new accord - same here...

and about the SLR Gullwing - it was a mere example of what beauty is...
now compare - SLR and EXELERO
and about Z8 - it's design is full of heritage...remember the BMW 507

I don't think any of those cars are beautiful. But that is just me, if car has high sideline and smooth corners that even can't be called corners, then it is fugly

I really have no idea how you can like something like the Mazda 6 or the new Accord and also like something such as the BMW 507.illepall

But hey those are your opinions and you're entitled to whatever you think, I still say the Exelero is a beautiful car and defiantly something for the connoisseur within me.

Well, the Maybach Exelero doesn't need to look good, as a showcar it has to look special.
Fulda wanted PR for their new highspeed tyre Carat Exelero and remembered in the late 30s there was a testcar build for Fulda to do highspeed tests, means 200 kph back then, on the basis of a Maybach.
So they asked Maybach if they could do a showcar on basis of the luxury cars they build that can reach 350 kph, it had to proof it. For the design Fulda wanted it done as project for design students.
Well, the result is this bizarre looking 2,7 ton two-seater that goes in 4,4s 0-100 kph and reached 351 kph in Nardo, at second go in the morning though. First try the turbos overheated and 'only' 348 kph was the result.

Though I think it's nice to see that people still build those cars because they can. If only supposedly good looking cars were built that make sense or are usefull the car world would be a lot more boring and less interesting.

If they would even do good looking cars, 99% of cars that are made today look rubbish, it is already boring FWD and nothing much interesting comes out, need to read badge to tell who made this whale that looks to be sister of this other whale here
