The Best "Road" Machines - ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM - NEW

ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM

We have dubbed the Maybach the world's best automobile. But is there also room for a "best car in the world".

The Rolls-Royce Phantom has a 453 horsepower (British hp) engine under the hood and still manifests the timeless classical elegance which has always given the Rolls a special mystique in automobile manufacture.

Why buy it when you already have it.

MAYBACH - The World's Best Automobile


The Best "Road" Machines - Maybach

MAYBACH - NEW

The Maybach is the new super-luxury line of automobiles, made by DaimlerChrysler, makers of Mercedes.
The Maybach website page shows - in our opinion - how cars can be presented on the internet in state-of-the-art web technology - comprehensive, elegant, astounding.

Make sure to turn "on" the symphony button when viewing this incredible automobile, which sets some new standards in automobile manufacture. The Maybach is available as the Maybach 57 (5.7 meters) and the Maybach 62 (6.2 meters).

Is there any doubt that this is the best car in the world? - none.

Even the use of the website will take you to a new level - turn on your brain to use the controls. You have to think.
