I’m vehemently and categorically against the production, distribution and endorsement of replicas. Fake watches are for fake people, or however that silly ad campaign went last year. However, I just might make an exception in this case. Remember the Maybach Exelero? The black beauty was commissioned by Fulda Tyres five years ago as a reference vehicle for their new generation of tires. It featured a bi-turbo V12 and 700 hp, along with a top speed of 218 mph and reaching 62 mph in 4,4 seconds. The singular example produced was promptly purchased by André A. Jackson for an undisclosed sum thought to be around $8 million. – From Jame List
