The Mercedes-Maybach S600 is a high-end version of the already luxurious S-Class sedan that is designed to fill the void left by members of the defunct Maybach brand. The S600 inaugurates a new sub-brand called Mercedes-Maybach that is positioned above Mercedes' crop of luxury vehicles.
Largely based on the aforementioned S600, the Maybach boasts several unique features intended to elevate the sedan's status. Most notable is a wheelbase that has been stretched by over eight inches in order to provide more legroom for the passengers wealthy enough to ride in the back. The S600's dome-shaped roof has also been modified, providing an additional 0.5 inches of rear-seat headroom.
Although it's longer than the regular S600, the Maybach's rear doors have actually been shortened by 2.6 inches and the triangular windows were moved to the body of the car. Mercedes explains this was done to give an added feeling of privacy to rear-seat passengers.
Other exterior modifications include a redesigned radiator grille, a restyled lower bumper, chrome trim around the windows, model-specific exhaust outlets and 20-inch light-alloy wheels exclusive to the Maybach model. Maybach emblems on the C-pillars and on the decklid wrap up the visual upgrades.
Power for the Maybach comes from a S600-sourced twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 engine that makes 523 horsepower between 4,900 and 5,300 rpm and a healthy 612 lb-ft. of torque from 1,900 to 4,000 rpm.
Nice one
