The Maybach W3 was unveiled at the Berlin Motor Show (1921)
Karl Maybach then decided to go into car production on his own in order to make use of the large production capacities that had become idle due to the cancellation of the Dutch border. The new car brand was ready to unveil its first production car, the Maybach W 3, at the Berlin Motor Show in September 1921. The 70 hp (52 kW) in-line six-cylinder W 2 engine powered the five-meter-long vehicle, which reached speeds of up to 110 km/h. The W 3 featured a four-wheel brake system with mechanical braking power compensation and a two-speed transmission with no gearshift. Depressing a foot-operated starting lever changed gears.
