Supercar Extension Hacks

Stretched Maybach 72 Has Limo-Style Back Seats

— December 17, 2008 — Autos
This Maybach 72 is the result of an extreme customization job that extended the original Daimler Maybach 62 to include a limousine-style backseat. About 3 feet were added to the original car as well as a couple seats that face the rear. This supercar hack catapulted the vehicle’s price tag from an already hefty $390,000 to $780,000.

I’d love it if my honey got me a Maybach 72, with some extra leg room because she knows her big boy needs his room.
