Why are the Germans unable to craft their own design instead

Have you never seen concept cars? You will never see this shit again. And there were a bazillion of other designs like this before

Yes, Italian designs. That's the point.

>>17745142
But what is the point in calling it a Maybach now when you've already watered down the brand to literally being an appearance package on your normal product like yes?

>>17745265

Maybe it is exclusive for Mercedes-Maybach.

>>17745233
That looks like a powerpuff girls villain

>>17745292

Of course, MB is pandering to dictator, business tycoon, royalty, maffia lord, and supervillians. Cruella's gonna want hers upholstered in white with spots of black.

Totally different.

Kys

>>17745589

It confirmed that Alfa copied.

Now what.

>>17745626
The original Giulia was just a well handling small saloon.
The E12 535 and E24 M5 were the first true high performance super saloons which began a new era.

>>17745716
The M5 and M535 were the first practical saloons that delivered super car tier performance for the era.
The most powerful Giulia had a 115hp or something horsepower 4 banger while the M535i had double the power.

Just google "the original super saloon" or something, it's not hard.

However, high-tech laser matrix headlights aren't welcome in the US because it is too advanced for Americans and the sake of domestic competitors aka Lincoln and Cadillac.

Because Germans suck at style but are great at engineering. So five years after purchase it'll still be a great looking and running car as opposed to a great looking paperweight

Good lord that's nice looking

Ideally a car should get its plans from the germans, styling from italians, running gear from americans and assembled by the japanese... unless it's a production run of under 70 units a year, in which case assembly occurs in a shed in England and gets pushed through a Japanese filter. That'd be global unity

Also, what the fuck southern hemisphere? Get your shit together

>>17745170
Original my ass. That is just a pony cart type horse carriage with a motor added and a third wheel instead of the horse.

>>17745211
This one is an actual work of art.

That is literally a land yacht, and not in a derogatory way. It's like they took a small luxury yacht, chopped off the sail and put wheels on it and called it a day.

It's very pretty.

nah, you are one speaking.

>Marvel's Captain America Car by German Designer Daniel Simon.

>The Hydra Schmidt Coupé is technically a roadster, but was originally designed as a Coupé and never changes its name. Lets just say its stubborn owner Johann Schmidt the Red Skull liked the sound of it. The car was explained in the film script to be the fastest road german car of its time. Not due to its aerodynamics but its incredible power – a supercharged, 16 cylinder engine. Together with Director Joe Johnston and Production Designer Rick Heinrichs, we researched Coupés of the 40ies to define the style for this vehicle. At first, I envisioned an extreme car shaped like a 1937 Auto Union Type C streamliner, but I soon understood the film’s director was looking for something classic and upright. A style-blend of a Mercedes 540K, a Mercedes G4 Off roader plus some hints of Audi and BMW turned out to be the perfect language.
