116 years ago today, March 23, 1909 (February 2, 1909 in the lunar calendar), the history of the Maybach brand was like a Gothic castle. When we talk about the history of automobile development, few people may think of a brand. It is Maybach Maybach from Germany. This luxury brand specializing in the production of top luxury cars was founded in the 1920s. Its history is similar to the familiar Mercedes-Benz brand, and the two brands have an inseparable historical origin. Today, many people describe Maybach as Germany's Rolls-Royce. This title is obviously not excessive. However, compared with Rolls-Royce, the temperament contained in Maybach cars is more like a beautiful and gorgeous Gothic castle. Wilhelmmaybach, the founder of the Maybach brand, played an important role in the history of automobile development. His outstanding contributions made him known as the "King of Design" by future generations. On February 9, 1846, Wilhelm Maybach was born in Heilbronn, Germany, and later his family moved to Stuttgart, the hometown of automobiles in Germany. When William Maybach was 10 years old, his parents passed away one after another, making him an orphan when he was young. Just when he was facing difficulties in life, a charity adopted him. During his school years, the founder of the school discovered William Maybach's extraordinary talent in technology and cultivated him well, which laid a solid foundation for his future development in the automotive field. [Mr. Wilhelmmaybach, founder of the Maybach brand] From 1865 to 1900, William Maybach and Gottlieb Daimler had to mention the Maybach brand and the Mercedes brand when they mentioned Maybach. Close connection. In 1865, 19-year-old Maybach met GottliebDaimler, known as the "originator of automobiles", for the first time in a workshop in the small town of Ruttlingen. William Maybach attracted Mr. Daimler's attention with his extraordinary talent in drawing, and in the days that followed, William Maybach was recruited to appoint him as a graphic design job. Like-minded, they soon became close friends. [GottliebDaimler (left) and Wilhelmmaybach (right)] In the next three decades, Wilhelmmaybach and Daimler began to research and develop light high-speed internal combustion engines. Through constant trial and effort, Wilhelm Maybach invented irregular heat pipe ignition systems, vertical fixed cylinder designs and honeycomb radiators. And in the subsequent research and development process, Maybach successfully developed a nozzle carburetor, the first four-cylinder car engine, etc. These inventions and patents became an important part of the research and development of high-speed engines and laid the foundation for the later engine manufacturing of the Maybach brand. Daimler died in 1900, and Maybach invented the first Mercedes car in the same year, which caused quite a stir on "NiceWeek" in March 1901. The car has truly moved from the horse-drawn carriage era to the automobile era. At the same time, this historical design concept of "real" cars pointed out the future development direction for the automobile industry and opened the door to design for the automobile industry. Since then, streamlined contours, high performance, honeycomb radiators, low hood, long wheelbases, positioning plate shifting mechanisms, diagonal steering systems, front and rear wheels of almost the same size, and lightweight have all become key factors in automotive engineering design. [The first Mercedes car designed and built by Maybach in 1900] William? Maybach, a talented designer, was quickly dubbed the "King of Design" by the world. His name has also become synonymous with technological innovation. Unlike other brands, William? Maybach has made Mercedes synonymous with elegance, excellence and craftsmanship. Despite the great success of Mercedes Motors, Wilhelm Maybach has clearly become a victim of a struggle for interests within the company. His position as chief engineer was replaced and his work activities were restricted. So he angrily left DMG in 1907. When the Zeppelin LZ4 airship crashed after a storm on August 5, 1908, William Maybach agreed to build a new and improved airship engine for Graf Zeppelin. The Maybach brand was founded in 1909. On March 23, 1909, Wilhelm Maybach established the company Luftfahrzeug-Motorenbau-GmbH, the predecessor of the Maybach brand. And his son, Carl? Maybach inherited his father's footsteps and became a mechanical engineer at the age of 17. He was also one of the founders of Maybach, and created one masterpiece after another between the 1920s and 1940s. [On May 16, 1918, Maybach's Luftfahrzeug-Motorenbau-GmbH manufacturing plant was renamed Maybach Motorenbau-GmbH] Succession of William's son Carl Maybach In 1916, the 70-year-old Wilhelm Schneider Maybach was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Technology Stuttgart. During the following period in 1920, William Sr. continued to assist his son Carl, who was the technical director of the new company, in developing and manufacturing various gasoline engines, diesel engines and gearboxes with excellent performance and stability at that time. It laid the foundation for the future development and design of cars belonging to its own brand. [Carl Maybach, son of William Maybach, pushed the Maybach brand to the throne of top luxury cars] On May 16, 1918, Maybach's Luftfahrzeug-Motorenbau-GmbH manufacturing plant was renamed Maybach Motorenbau-GmbH. After Carl Maybach successfully tried to build the first prototype Maybach W1 model using the car chassis provided by his old employer DMG, he founded the Maybach Engine Factory and began to build his own Maybach. At that time, Maybach could develop and produce major components and assembly work such as frame, suspension, engine, cooling water tank, transmission and firewall. The car bodies were handed over to famous manufacturers at the time to build and could be designed in detail according to customers 'needs. [Carl Maybach initially tried to build the first prototype Maybach W1 model based on the chassis provided by his old club DMG.] Determined to build a top luxury sedan After the 1926 Berlin Motor Show, the achievements of the new sedan were greatly inspired by the Maybach team, and since then launched the w5 sedan, which is equipped with a 7-liter inline 6-cylinder engine that generates powerful power of 120 horsepower. But the Maybaches and his sons are not proud of the honor in front of them. It is their long-standing dream to build a top-class luxury car with powerful 12-cylinder horsepower. Maybach's unique design aroused great interest from celebrities. At that time, the Maybach's customer base included famous politicians, businessmen, and popular stars of the time such as the legendary Italian singer Enrico Caruso, known as the "greatest tenor of all time", and Max Smyrin, the former world heavyweight boxing champion, German boxing champion, and one of Germany's most admired stadium idols. In addition, some well-known aristocrats were also customers of Maybach cars, such as King Paul of Greece, heir of the Dutch royal family, Princess Juliana, Prince Bernard and Prince Estehali, the Indian princes of Jaipur, Bothra and Koharper, and King Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, were all loyal users of Maybach at the time. On December 29, 1929, William Maybach died in Stuttgart. And Carl? Maybach fulfilled his father's wish to continue to improve its technical craftsmanship and continuously create luxury cars of outstanding quality. Among them, the car equipped with a 12-cylinder engine was the Maybach Model 12, which was produced in 1930. At that time, the largest and most magnificent model among the top ultra-luxury cars produced in Germany is a masterpiece. [The Maybach 12 was the largest and most imposing model among the top ultra-luxury sedans produced in Germany at that time, and it was a masterpiece in the world.] Due to the outstanding performance and smooth running quality of the Maybach engine, coupled with the manual construction of the partners, the Maybach model quickly became famous in the European luxury car industry. Its name quickly became equal to the well-known luxury car brands Rolls-Royce and Bentley. It was the most representative luxury car in Germany at that time. The Zeppelin DS8 became the most prestigious German sedan at that time. In 1930, in order to ensure the unshakable king status of Maybach's brand, the Zeppelin DS8 model was introduced, using an extremely powerful 200-horsepower 8-liter 12-cylinder engine at the time. As the flagship model of Maybach, the Zeppelin DS8 has a length of 5.5 meters and a selling price of up to 36000 marks (at the time, such a fee could be used to buy three villas). The DS8 model conquered the world with its unparalleled elegance and superior power performance, and represented the highest level of luxury cars at the time. The Zeppelin series at the time included sedans, sports convertibles and convertible top station wagons. All models have exceptionally spacious interior spaces, comfortable, spacious seats wrapped in soft leather, and excellent road driving performance. The wheelbase of the top sedan is 3735 mm. The rigid axle connected to a semi-elliptical long spring provides agile vehicle handling characteristics, while the hydraulic bidirectional shock absorber further improves ride comfort. Although the driver still needs to step on the clutch at the moment of starting, he only needs to operate the two small control levers in the middle of the steering wheel to shift gears through the 4-speed planetary transmission without using a clutch. In addition, neutral, first and reverse gears can be operated using a preselected shift lever in the center of the car. In addition to the engine and transmission, Maybach has also made great improvements in driving stability and ride comfort. New lateral swing axle technology emerged and is available in a variety of products including SW35 (1935), SW38 (1936) and SW42 (1939 - 1941). In addition, these advanced Maybach cars all use 140-horsepower 6-cylinder inline engines, making Maybach a great success again. [The launch of the luxurious SW38 model has made the Maybach brand achieve another success] However, Carl Maybach was not satisfied with this, saying: For customers with extraordinary taste, perfect details are very important. Whether in body manufacturing, interior decoration and body painting, Maybach always insists on cooperating with only the best supporting factories and experts in this field to meet the needs of consumers and provide excellent products that complement consumers 'own image. And this exclusive tradition of customization continues to this day! When World War II broke out, production was forced to stop. The Maybach brand entered a 60-year slumber until the early 1940s. With the outbreak of World War II, the factory was forced to shut down. Maybach's glorious era entered a 60-year slumber. By the time the production was suspended in 1941, a total of about 1800 such luxury cars had been produced. Despite this, this legendary car brand is still deeply rooted in the hearts of engineers, designers and countless car enthusiasts around the world. Recovery after slumber-The reborn Maybach brand In 1997, DaimlerChrysler Group officially resurrected this top luxury car brand that had been dormant for more than half a century. In 2002, Maybach Cars re-emerged. In front of the world. Today, the Maybach brand has gone far beyond the definition of a top luxury car and has become Daimler's most high-end car brand. It has inherited the design concept of founder William Maybach's pursuit of the world's top luxury cars.

Editor's summary: Some people define the restored Maybach as "Germany's Rolls-Royce". This sentence is reasonable but inaccurate. Because Rolls-Royce, the pride of the British automobile industry, has been included in the German BMW Group and has become an "authentic" German product. Bentley, another ultra-luxury brand, has also joined the German Volkswagen Group. In this context, the Daimler Group, which is unwilling to lose to its "old rival", launched the Maybach car at this time, which is obviously a strategic consideration. It uses Maybach as a sharp knife in the ultra-luxury car market rather than letting BMW enjoy this market. In terms of the product itself, Rolls-Royce and Maybach should be equal. Moreover, for such cars, the appeal and influence of the brand will be far more important than the quality of the car itself. The Maybach brand represents unparalleled excellent quality, ingenious production craftsmanship, continuous breakthroughs in technological level, and an outstanding and extremely luxurious aristocratic temperament. This legendary brand reappears in the market and is bound to become the top benchmark in the field of super luxury cars.116 years ago today, March 23, 1909 (February 2, 1909 in the lunar calendar), the history of the Maybach brand was like a Gothic castle.

It uses Maybach as a sharp knife in the ultra-luxury car market rather than letting BMW enjoy this market. In terms of the product itself, Rolls-Royce and Maybach should be equal. Moreover, for such cars, the appeal and influence of the brand will be far more important than the quality of the car itself. The Maybach brand represents unparalleled excellent quality, ingenious production craftsmanship, continuous breakthroughs in technological level, and an outstanding and extremely luxurious aristocratic temperament. This legendary brand reappears in the market and is bound to become the top benchmark in the field of super luxury cars.
