Maybach W6 DSG

The Maybach W 6 DSG was the 1934 version of the Maybach W 6, the moderately priced luxury car that Karl Maybach offered from 1931 beside the twelve-cylinder Zeppelin models. DSG stands for Doppelschnellgang, a double fast-gear transmission; the Wilhelm and Karl Maybach Foundation calls the Maybach Doppelschnellgetriebe a double gearbox for fast shifting and says the W 6 was upgraded to the W 6 DSG from 1934. The factory model list dates the DSG to 1934 to 1935 and counts about one hundred cars for the W 6 including the DSG, so the DSG has no production figure of its own. Like other Maybach cars it left the factory as a chassis, and the body came from the coachbuilder the customer chose.
