Product Description ■ [#05050 Maybach DS8ka BRiO Zeppelin 1930 ~ Luxury 〜】 There was no limit to luxury in the world of Maybach. br> The body, engine, and chassis, as well as the interior, were always designed according to this principle. br> In 1931, the Friedrichshafen plant adopted the abbreviation DS8, which stands for "Double Six 8 Liters Displacement." Compared to the DS7, the succeeding 12-cylinder engine was expanded by a full one liter with an 8-liter displacement. br> The chassis alone weighs 1950 kg, which is enough to drive at 170km/h. br> And the new 5-speed transmission with a vacuum preselection shift also supports the high speed. The chassis comes with two types of wheelbase : 3660 mm and 3750 mm.
Gustave Augusto Heinrich Zing, 52 years old at the time, chose the shorter lower part of the wheelbase when he ordered the DS8 from the Friedrichshafen plant.
In 1931, a Hanseater millionaire who immigrated from Germany to Venezuela in 1899 brought home a two door sports convertible with a body made by Spawn.
Zing made his white convertible into the Zeppelin line offered by Maybach at the time.
This included body interventions such as minor changes to the fender and a running board that connected the front and rear.
In 2004, his DS8 came into the hands of Americans after World War II.
