HP offering Maybach notebooks

Asus uses the Lamborghini brand, while Acer snapped up Ferrari. Now HP has teamed up with Maybach to offer their own brand such notebooks. Configuration is not certain but the new model is supplied with Intel Core 2 Duo processor, built in SSD-store 64Gb and video adapter (presumably GeForce Go 7ххх or 8ххх), Bluetooth mouse as well as some form of exclusive carrying bag and an additional battery. Prices should be around $4000 USD.

LOL, why mayback...that is no supercar, yet they make the machine a super laptop. They should have chosen like saleen or Pagani, or Koenigsegg or maserati...etc.

When I read this at work, I thought it was a joke. I never heard of Maybach. I mean, saying it (may- baeck, or maybuck or however) is funny as hell.

kakazzaYou probably want to rephrase that...

Maybach Exelero! No matter how small your penis is, this car will make up for it:

its not.

but the buggati veyron is.

with its 8 liter (aprox. 488 cubic inches) quad-turbo dual overhead cam (per cylinder bank, making for a total of 8 camshafts) 64-valve all-aluminium W16 (basically two audi/VW twin-turbo V8's bolted togehter to form a single powerplant) pushing out over 1000 brake horsepower at 6000RPM and over 920 (!!!) ft-lbs of torque at 2200RPM.
couple that to a 7 (!) speed paddleshit (DSG) gearbox with two (!) clutches, and a rather tricked-out all-wheel-drive sytem and aerodynamics package and you get a peice of machinery that from a complete standstill will hit 96 km/h (60 mi/h) in 2.5 seconds, 160 km/h (100 mi/h) in 6 seconds, 240 km/h (150 mi/h) in 11 seconds, 320 km/h (200 mi/h) in 22 seconds (from a complete standstill, mind you...), and will go on to an electronically limited top speed of 407 km/h (253 mi/h).
what it will do without the electronic limiter is pretty much any one's guess, but as far as i know the fastest anyone's ever managed to get it up to is 415 km/h (257 mi/h).

Maybach makes really nice luxury cars though. Amazing cars IMO.

I know, they are nice, i have seen them at auto shows, they are like limos for 2 people...lol.

As for the fastest car, yes...the veyon is the fastest car, but its more of a trophy car than something you can drive, at 1.6million, while the Koenigsegg or the Saleen S7 TT can reach around 245-250 (OC the car!) and cost only 600k.

Donald Trump owns Maybach's,
they are basically the luxury class of Mercedes, despite the fact that Mercedes cars are already packed with luxury features. Theyr also tanked, they run high horsepower engines, and despite their weight can offer some serious grunt to the ride :D.

Theyr like a Bentley, only more modern shaped.

BTW, your gonna love this

So does jay leno, plus he owns the veyon, SLR, and other rare cars.


I wish this is my garage:

Remember that the Bugatti Veyron is electronically speed limited. Its 1001bhp engine is capable of a lot more than 250mph. Its acceleration stats should speak volumes about how much better it is than other 250mph cars out there.

top not limited speed is 257, and the limited to 253...so you dont redline a massive engine and causing a nuclear explosion. also that car makes around 3000 HP, but 2/3 of it is lost in heat.

you may love or loath the buggati veyron, and one definantly has to agree that the fact that such a car (in the words of jeremy clarkson) can be unleashed upon a person who's only qualification is the fact that he can reverse around corners and perform an emergancy stop is sheer lunacy and a vicotry of pure silliness over common sense, but one also needs to keep in mind that the thing is an absolute marvel of modern engineering.

screw loathing either car.
Buy both, and when you drive out of your driveway and the first one runs out of petrol, you can jump in the next car and hit 300km/h for a few metres until that car runs outta petrol, and then you can just use the cars aerodynamics to roll to your destination :D

putting a larger engine and couple turbos is not engineering marvel (it been done before)...any body with the money can do that. Now if you have a car with some jet turbines, then you got a marvel.

The 3000hp staticstic i dont believe. I cant find a single source other than a few guys on the internet claiming it on different forums and blogs.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W16_engine

However, the theoretical top speed being 257mph is true, i just thought theyd said in top gear that it was capable of more than 260mph on their first review of the car. But nvm.

edit: yep the above claim is purely hearsay

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Bugatti_Veyron#The_.223000_horsepower.22_claim

edit2: Okay, i understand this claim now and also how absurd it is. It would be akin to saying my cardboard box has 3000hp because it burns that much chemical energy in petrol per second. However, all of it is lost to thermal dissipation and conversion to light energy. Its a pretty stupid claim.

in other words, the engine is quite inefficient... according to that article, other cars are around 1/3 loss. PopSci did a review on the car, and it was proven true from the engineers.

I read that article, from Jeremy, and for every "marvel" he stated, it more of a glued up car of multiple design. i can see another car company already having it. For example the Saleen S7, it body design is made in a way in which faster you drive, more down force it gets. This technology is also seen in many topfuel drag cars. Porsche and their retractable spoiler..duh..fuctional maybe not as much but still there, rally cars and their skirts so they dont twist in high speed turns and when in the air. engine...come on, well all know about the suzuki escudo pikes peak with two v6, twin turbo forged to make a nice 1000 bhp w12...
