Fulda Maybach Exelero

AutoErotica for car lovers that is guaranteed to get your pistons pumping.
Maybach has gone coupe crazy. Keen to throw off the conservative image that surrounds its leather-lined sedans, the upscale Mercedes-Benz offshoot has thrown its technical expertise behind this dramatic looking one-off coupe bankrolled by German tire maker Fulda. The 6.0-liter, 700-hp twin-turbocharged V12-powered two-door has been created to promote Fulda’s newly released Carat Exelero tire.
But you didn't come to Wordlab to get the latest car magazine reviews of this exotic automobile with the strange name: Fulda Maybach Exelero. The complete story behind the marque is documented in the print versions of Gizmag, which the magazine publisher says, "are distributed in environments where affluent males congregate." The rest of us can just read about it online.
The 700-hp V-12 biturbo two-seater is a unique custom model produced for tyre manufacturer Fulda Reifenwerke, which is using the Maybach Exelero as a reference vehicle for a newly developed generation of wide tyres. The German manufacturer of luxury cars built the unique model as a modern interpretation of its legendary streamlined sports car from the 1930s, thereby forging a link with the historical predecessor, which at that time was likewise based on a powerful Maybach automobile (SW 38) and used by Fulda for tyre tests.
So that's it; the car is called Exelero because Exelero is the name of the tire that Fulda is cross-promoting with the Maybach brand.

If you happen to be the author of John Walkenbach's Favorite Excel Tips & Tricks, you should be forgiven for thinking, "It's a car that sounds like a spreadsheet: Excelero."

Apparently that's a common misperception of the car's name, which is probably induced by cleverly constructed magazine headlines that alliterate. "An Excellent Exelero: Maybach's excessive two-seater certainly won't be built. We drive it anyway."
