The Maybach Zeppelin was the top Maybach model from 1928 to 1934.

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. Depending on the weight of the coachwork, a top speed of 106 mph was possible
