Maybach 62 S Landaulet
The Maybach 62 S Landaulet, based on the Maybach 62 S, revives the classic landaulet car body style, which was popular in the 1920s and 30s.[14][15] Powered by the 62 S's 612 PS biturbo V12, the Landaulet's front seats are fully enclosed and separated from the rear passenger compartment by a power divider window; the opacity of this partition can be electronically controlled.
A sliding soft roof allows back-seat passengers to take in the sun from the comfort of their seats. The chauffeur's area is finished in black leather, while the rear is white with piano black- and gold-flecked black granite inserts.
Maybach publicly unveiled the Landaulet at the Middle East International Auto Show around the end of November 2007 as a concept car. Limited production was confirmed in January 2008. In total, 22 units were made, one of which was owned by rapper Birdman.[16] DJ Khaled owns one as well and it has appeared in a few of his music videos. Also, Lee Kun-hee, former chairman of Samsung owns one as of 2011.
