The Maybach Zeppelin DS 7 was the first Maybach with a twelve-cylinder V engine. Karl Maybach offered it from 1930 and cars were delivered from 1931 under the name Doppel-Sechs 7, meaning double six with seven litres of displacement. It was built until about 1933 or 1934 and was followed by the larger DS 8 of 200 horsepower. German Wikipedia states that the factory sold such cars only as bare chassis, with bodies by coachbuilders such as Spohn of Ravensburg and Erdmann and Rossi. It sat at the top of the Maybach range and was among the largest German saloons of its day.
