The name Zeppelin commanded an image of power during the 1928-1934 era in the auto industry. Then it suddenly disappeared. Now it’s back with a vengeance! This 2010 model Is powered by the familiar Maybach 6.0L V12 twin-turbo from other models, but up-rated by 28hp (21kW) to 640hp (471kW) and 738lb-ft (1,000Nm) of torque, the Zeppelin nevertheless promises to meet Euro 5 emissions standards. Something this good won’t be priced cheap as expected. You’d get the model on the Maybach 57 starting at €406,000 ($524,000) in Europe, while those based on the 62 will jump off at €473,200 ($610,000). First batch of orders in the queue will open upon the car’s debut this coming March which are then to be delivered in September. I wonder who would those lucky ballers are?
