The Maybach Exelero is a one -off production by the Maybach manufacture belonging to the Daimler group for the tire manufacturer Fulda .
Idol
In the 1930s, Fulda and Maybach worked together to build a high-speed vehicle. The background was the application of their own, very powerful rubber tires, which should be proven by the constant load with this vehicle. The forerunner of the Exelero was a revolutionary streamlined car, which was manufactured on the basis of a Maybach SW 38 as a one-off by the coachbuilder Dörr & Schreck , with which high-speed tires (up to 200 km / h at that time) were tested in 1938. This car was lost in World War II .
development
With the market launch of their new high-speed Fulda Carat Exelero tire, the Fulda works remembered the historic project again and made renewed contact with the Daimler Maybach brand. As a result, a one-off sports coupé based on a Maybach 57 S was built, the body of which was designed by four students from the Transportation Design course at Pforzheim University . The final design chosen comes from Fredrik Burchhardt. The construction was carried out by the Turin prototype builder Stola .

With the tire dimensions 315/25 ZR 23, high-speed tests were carried out by Klaus Ludwig on the Italian race track in Nardò , where the Exelero exceeded the required 350 km / h in the second attempt. The vehicle reached 351.45 km / h in the FIA- standardized test procedure. The acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h is also remarkable: 4.4 seconds with an empty weight of 2,730 kilograms.
In 2007, Stola presented the Phalcon Coupé, which was to be produced in a small series together with Brabus and Pirelli. It is a near-series development of the Exelero.
The vehicle is currently owned by Mechatronik Fahrzeug- und Motorentechnik GmbH and has been exhibited at various locations, for example in the Auto and Technology Museum Sinsheim (2010) and for the 20th anniversary of Mechatronik on July 22, 2017 in Pleidelsheim .
