What's a luxury car manufacturer to do when it arch-rival announces a new model; well it simple does the same. The super luxuries Maybach has revealed that it is planning to develop a smaller model to directly compete against the newly announced smaller Rolls-Royce.
Auto Express has learn some details about the new Maybach and Dieter Zetsches plans with the mini-model.
Dr Zetsche told Auto Express: "Obviously, there is some space between the price range of the current Maybach and the top Mercedes. We are looking into that, and if there's a chance of filling it we have to decide if we want to.
"We also have to make a decision over whether we want to do it with a bigger Mercedes or a smaller Maybach. However, we feel under no pressure to make that decision soon."
This of course this is not just a rivalry between Maybach and Rolls-Royce, but between the two parent companies, Mercedes and BMW. It will be interesting to se how this plays out and if the smaller cars will be a hit with the super rich. |
