Maybach Landaulet

Now there's a genuine reason to buy a Maybach over a look-alike and fully-laden S-Class: a folding soft-top.

Sadly, James can't enjoy "the opportunity to savour a closeness to nature" with his clientele, as Maybach puts it. Bigger headrests and a wind deflector ensures nature doesn't get too involving, but even a 612 horsepower V12 can't outrun the Bird of Paradise - with indigestion.
