5. Maybach 12
The production for the Maybach 12 models was extremely short, from 1929 to mid-1930, with a total number of 200 units built.
The twelve cylinder model replaced the Maybach W5 SG and it was considered one of the best cars of its times.
Maybach 12 was fitted with a 7.0-liter V12 which was producing 150 hp and coupled with an advanced three speed transmission.
The car was able to reach to a top speed of more than 90 mph, despite its large size.
And that’s because Karl Maybach paid a lot of attention to reducing the engine’s weight as much as possible.
In doing this, the car’s final power to weight ratio was extremely good for that age.
