"Ridiculous" Is Spelt "Maybach Landaulet"

The Mayback Landaulet, or 57S, is a study in over-the-top luxury.  What qualifies it as over-the-top?

  • Is it a 612 hp, 738 lb-ft of face melting torque?
  • Champagne cooler and 2 silver flutes, held by an automatic clip? (what?)
  • Reclining rear seats?  Leg rests?
  • 40 inches of rear legroom?  (where's my business class seat?)
  • Retractable hard top.... only for the passenger?  (what? why can't the chauffeur have an open roof as well?)
  • Illuminated vanity mirrors (ooh, how pretty we are)

No.  Those are run of the mill (cough).  What is over the top is the black star granite, sourced from India, that is in the passenger section.  Granite.  Stone trim.  Shaped to fit the car's interior. 

This is ridiculous.  I love it.
