The Maybach Zeppelin was the top Maybach model from 1928 to 1934. It was an enormous luxury vehicle which weighed approximately 6600 lb. Replacing the DS7 in 1930 was the DS8. It sported an 8.0 L (7977 cc, 486 cubic inches) V12 which made 200 horsepower at a fairly low 3200 rpm, putting the DS8 among the most powerful production cars in the world at the time.
