If you don't want the tow truck to take your car, buy a Maybach 62S

We have all experienced at some point the oversight -or not so much of an oversight- of parking the car in an area not authorised for it.

However, even for this kind of situation, driving a large and expensive car can help you prevent the tow truck from taking your car.

Maybach was reborn as a car brand a few years ago under the wing of Mercedes-Benz, with the aim of becoming the manufacturer of the best cars in the world. However, the move did not go as well for Mercedes as it had hoped, and just a few years after reappearing, Maybach closed its doors again.

It has now returned as a sub-brand for the most iconic models of the star brand, but that has not stopped the 57 and 62 models, based on the W220 S-Class, from coming to light. The model featured in this video is one of the most expensive and exclusive it was at the time, called the 62S. It mounted a twin-turbo V12 engine with over 600 CV, measured 6.16 metres and weighed nearly 3,000 kg.

Despite the car’s elegance and presence, this did not prevent its driver from deciding to “leave it” in a place not designated for that purpose, bothering other drivers with its improper presence. The normal thing in these cases is to call the tow truck, which they ended up doing.

The problem for other drivers stems from the size of the Maybach, since not even the municipal tow truck in charge of removing vehicles was able to tow the Maybach. As standard, as we mentioned earlier, the car weighs around 3 tonnes, a weight that can increase substantially if the vehicle is fitted with armour plating, one of the most popular options in this market.

Without a doubt, what was a problem for other drivers -the tow truck eventually gave up and left- was for the owner of the Maybach nothing more than a look of surprise on seeing his car moved just a few centimetres from the kerb.
