VIDEO: What does Evil look like at Speed? The Maybach Exelero
by Noah Joseph on Apr 30th 2007 at 5:37PM 
"The Exelero show car did more for us than all the tweaks to the 57/62 series combined." That's what a source inside Maybach had to say about the gargantuan showcar when speaking of future Maybach models. The Exelero, more than any other, looked like it was built to transport Darth Vader. But it wasn't. Nor was it built just to garner attention, although that factored big in the formula, as well. The purpose of the Exelero was to serve as a high-speed – and high-profile – test vehicle for German tire manufacturer Fulda, who decades prior had embarked on a similar venture with the original Maybach. In short, the Exelero has the go to back up all that show.
In the video after the jump, witness the time-warping power and speed of the two-door performance coupe built on the platform of the Maybach 57, which itself is second only to its big-brother 62 in the rankings of the largest and most obscenely powerful cars on the market.
In so many ways, and in so many words, this is huge.

When I see that car, the music to Batman: The Animated Series starts playing in my head. I love the design though, haven't seen one that evil looking since the Diablo.

It's ugly. The speed at least blurs some of its hideousness.

If Darth Vader was an automobile enthusiast, I'd bet this one would be his personal favourite.

Death rides the wind, and it is black. We stand by the road to observe its passing and hope it is not coming for us.
Exelero..................

If Darth Vader was to drive a car instead of a Tie Fighter, it would be this one =)
