4. Maybach Zeppelin
The Zeppelin model from Maybach was built between the years 1929 and 1939.
The Maybach Zeppelin was an enormous luxury vehicle which weighed approximately 6600 lb.
The car was named for the company’s famous production of zeppelin engines prior to and during World War I.
The first generation was the DS7, whose name stood for “Doppel Sechs” (Double Six) reffering to the V12 engine.
This model came fitted with a 7.0-liter unit which delivered 150 hp. This was quite similar to the one on the Maybach 12, making many experts call the Zeppelin just a re-branded version.
A year after the DS7 debuted, a new version was introduced, the DS8, which became one of the most powerful cars of the time.
The Maybach DS7 was in production until 1931, while the last DS8 was built in 1939.
