Maybach Zeppelin DS8 4-door Cabriolet ’1930–34


Supplementing the DS7 from 1930 was the DS8.It sported an 8.0 L (7977 cc, 486 cubic inches) V12 which made 200 bhp (149 kW; 203 PS) at a fairly low 3200 rpm, putting the DS8 among the most powerful production cars in the world at the time. Depending on the weight of the coachwork, a top speed of 106 mph (171 km/h) was possible.

In August 2012, a 1938 DS8 Roadster sold for €1.3 million at auction, fitted with a rare Variorex eight-speed gearbox with a vacuum shift and is thought to be one of only 100 built.
