Daimler has Maybach the neck to be rotated, and needs to find a new sales strategy for its luxurious baking. Is a Mercedes U-class the solution?

The American student Scott Wu Kaiser bowed to his training, transportation design on the future of the Germans. Because where BMW and Volkswagen can live with Rolls-Royce and Bentley, Daimler’s do it right now without exclusive brand. They brought already an extended version of the S-Class Sedan on the market, but Kaiser sees no future in it.

He went then to work on the design of a completely new Mercedes-series, the Mercedes U-Class. Only then have the Germans in the eyes of Kaiser chance in the battle with the Bentley Flying Spur and the Rolls Royce Ghost. The U-Class, which can be seen above, would be according to the design of Kaiser use of a twin-turbo V12 with a displacement of six litres.
