Maybach Exelero: Fast and Sleek

The Maybach Exelero is a stunning new 700 horsepower vehicle that was just shown to the world in Berlin. Gizmag.com has a report on the show car:
The Maybach Exelero high-performance show car unveiled to the world for the first time this week is a remarkable car with an even more remarkable story behind it. The 700-hp V-12 biturbo two-seater is a unique custom model produced for tyre manufacturer Fulda Reifenwerke, which is using the Maybach Exelero as a reference vehicle for a newly developed generation of wide tyres. The German manufacturer of luxury cars built the unique model as a modern interpretation of its legendary streamlined sports car from the 1930s, thereby forging a link with the historical predecessor, which at that time was likewise based on a powerful Maybach automobile (SW 38) and used by Fulda for tyre tests.
Autoblog also has an entry on the Exelero here. Autoblog says, "The super-Bach can get to 55 mph in 4.4 seconds with the help of two turbochargers a nd 740 ft-lbs of torque." Maybach has a website for U.S. browsers but we didn't see anything there about the Exelero.
