Scaldarsi Motors’ Maybach Emperor comes with 888 HP and 24-karat gold fittings.
The Emperor I builds on a Maybach Rocket 900, which in itself is a heavily modified Mercedes-Maybach S 600 by Brabus. Which means that the Emperor has a heart of gold as well; a twin-turbocharged, 6.2-litre V12 engine from the S 600 that has now been tuned to produce an earth shattering 888 HP. That’s enough to take the palatial limousine from naught to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds. Stupendous power aside, the Emperor is a rolling exhibit of opulence. The standard Maybach bodywork has been injected with added testosterone, which results in a comprehensive wide-body kit that feature massively flared arches barely being able to contain the hyper-car fat, low-profile tires wrapped around the intricately designed wheels. The front grille is ostentatious, heavily jewelled and massive, while select appointments on the bodywork are actually made out of pure, 24-karat gold.
