Carl started to create an internal combustion engine. By creating his own company, he proceeded to build an airship LZ4, but there were problems with the engine and the airship crashed during a storm. After a while, Karl opened a factory for the production of airships and engines with two Maybachs. The first car model W3 debuted in 1921 at the Berlin Motor Show. During that as Charles was the technical director of the invention was produced which took eight speeds without the requirement of the clutch pedal. At this point, the line started Zeppelin in 1929 and was equipped with V12 power hood. Ended his life, Karl Maybach February 6, 1960 in Friedrichshafen.
