The 2009 Landaulet was first launched as a concept version last year at the Dubai auto show, and earlier this year Maybach announced the production version. The convertiblelike four-door Landaulet will go on sale in USA starting December at a price of $1.35 million!
"The Landaulet is for a superrich individual who wants something that is extremely extraordinary and enjoys being driven in a car with acres of sky above them," Hans-Dieter Multhaupt, vice president of program management for Maybach said.
The Landaulet is designed as a chauffeur-driven limousine. The soft partial convertible top above rear-seat passengers opens from the B-pillar back so passengers in the rear seat can be seen and enjoy the sunshine.
The Maybach’s rear doors and side windows remain intact. The driver’s compartment is covered by a nonremovable hard top. Multhaupt said many of the Maybach Landaulets "will be fitted with a glass panel that separates the driver and the passenger, like the cars of the past."
At least when we are talking about a modified 360 Modena! Dan Cawley, 36, of Cheadle, Manchester is the owner of the fastest limousine in the world. Good for him, no? Well, yes, but his limo is a 360 Modena cut in half and with a 3m (9.5ft) middle section made of carbon fiber. He will face legal action for infringing the Ferrari trademark.
He has 14 days to remove all prancing horse badges, Ferrari names and “360 Modena” symbols from the 6m (20ft) car. “What kind of precedent does it set when you can’t do what you like with your own property?” asked Mr Cawley.
According to Ferrari, that modified 360 Modena is no longer a Ferrari!
It’s a stretch literally and figuratively – an F360 Modena turned into a 23 foot long limousine with gullwing doors.
Built for limousine company Style Limousine in England at a cost of about $400,000 plus the price of the car, it seats eight people in carbon fiber seats, each with a racing belt harness. Style claims that the standard 395 hp engine will yield a zero to sixty time of less than six seconds.

With the President and First Lady as its passengers, the Presidential limousine – a Cadillac – stopped dead in traffic as the President visited Rome and the Vatican on Saturday.
Though it takes a while, it’s worth watching the video:
Courtesy of You Tube, you can see it here.

Yup , you read the headline correctly- this is a video of a Ferrari F360 Limousine that has yet to be finished by its owner. Now a Ferari limousine is the last thing I would suspect to put into stretch form but Im sure this vehicle would be quite the joy to ride in. I guess you could say it is the only limo that I actually wouldn’t mind piloting myself. Is this limousine destined for the F1 World in Dubai? I could definitely picture some of these around the F1 theme park
Mercedes-Benz engineers are currently developing a new, prestigious luxury limousine with integrated highest protection for governments, businesses, monarchs and heads of state. The armoured Pullman Limousine is based on the long version of the S 600 with a substantially extended wheelbase length. The Mercedes-Benz State Limousine therefore provides a level of roominess worthy of its high-ranking occupants, not to mention outstanding comfort and a fully equipped mobile office. The S 600 Guard Pullman sees the world’s oldest car manufacturer continuing its long tradition of building large state carriages with factory-integrated special-protection features. >> read
