Carmaker Daimler plans to double sales of its luxury Maybach vehicles, buoyed by strong demand in China.
Daimler, which also owns Mercedes-Benz, sold a record 12,000 luxury Maybachs last year.
They are used widely as limousines in China, the car’s most popular market.
Prices start at $173,000 (£130,000) for the latest model. However, this can rise to more than $250,000 with the addition of optional extras like silver champagne flutes.
