The illustrious German motoring company Maybach Motorenbau GmbH was founded in 1909 by Wilhelm Maybach. A man with drive, Wilhelm turned into the protege of Gottlieb Daimler (a German automotive inventor and engine professional), with whom he created a friendship and business alliance. The friendship had developed way before the firm was proven.
In 1909, aircraft maker Graf Zeppelin (also referred to as Count Zeppelin) and Maybach founded "Luftfahrzeug Motorenbau GmbH" in Bissingen. The firm was renamed Motorenbau Friedrichshafen. The Paybacks acquired 40 % be part of the company, which was at some point renamed Maybach Motorenbau GmbH. The high-class vehicle maker produced cars built for the rich, and which arrive at a cost tag ranging from $344,000 to $700,000. With Wilhelm's son Karl placed at the helm of the company as director, the dad-and-son tandem set out to blaze trails. After building the initial Maybach W1 idea, an experimental automobile, in 1919, they proceeded to create the very first manufacturing design based on a Mercedes chassis two many years later. The Maybach W3 rolled off the assembly line and was showcased in the Berlin Motor Present. From then on, the automaker distinguished itself being a custom maker of luxurious, powerful automobiles.
Maybach vehicles which cruised the boulevards of New York, Monte Carlo and Berlin were one of the most striking automobiles created.
