Press Release
· High-end luxury saloon with impressive performance
· New 6-litre V12 biturbo engine with 450 kW/612 hp
· Modified suspension set-up for supreme driving dynamics
· Stylish interior offers contemporary interpretation of luxury and dynamism
The 75th Geneva Motor Show is the setting for the world premiere of the newly developed Maybach 57 S (the "S" standing for "Special"). With its enhanced performance and additional individualisation features, this variant of the Maybach 57 meets the exclusive wishes of demanding customers for even greater engine output and agility. To match the increased power, the suspension of the Maybach 57 S is set up for a somewhat firmer response – making it the ideal high-end luxury saloon for owner-drivers who appreciate an engaging experience at the wheel. The extra 45 hp/62 kW output compared with the Maybach 57 is provided by an enhanced version of the 6-litre V12 biturbo engine developed in cooperation with Mercedes-AMG. This powerplant delivers breathtaking acceleration, propelling the Maybach 57 S from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5 seconds.
The 57 S extends the Maybach model range with a car whose combination of contemporary luxury, the ultimate in comfort and state-of-the-art high-performance technology embodies the perfection which is characteristic of the brand. The market launch of the Maybach 57 S is scheduled for this autumn.
New twelve-cylinder powerplant with 1000 Nm maximum torque
The new, even more powerful twelve-cylinder powerplant in the Maybach 57 S has a displacement of six litres and – thanks to biturbo technology and an air/water intercooler – a maximum output of 450 kW/612 hp. The impressive maximum torque of 1000 Nm (electronically limited) is available across a broad engine speed range (between 2000 and 4000 rpm). As a result, Maybach drivers who favour a sporty driving style can always call on prodigious reserves of power. Every twelve-cylinder engine features a redesigned cover with a plate bearing the serial number of the unit and the signature of the Mercedes-AMG specialist who built the entire engine by hand in accordance with AMG's traditional "one man, one engine" philosophy.
The modified, firmer suspension set-up which the Maybach development team have created for the 57 S perfectly reconciles differing requirements. It ensures that the engine's impressive performance and particularly high dynamic potential can be put down on the road safely and reliably at all times. But it is also able to maintain the extremely high level of ride comfort which is offered by all Maybach luxury Saloons and which is characteristic of the brand.
Exterior design emphasizes dynamic character
Discreet and tasteful exterior visual highlights emphasize the distinctly dynamic character of the new Maybach 57 S. These include an exclusive monochrome colour scheme featuring special black or silver paint finishes, a modified front section with an enhanced radiator grille and revised light units, a discreet "57 S" legend on the front wing below the A-pillar and on the boot lid, as well as striking new 20-inch spoked wheels. At the rear, the two redesigned tailpipes of the exhaust system are integrated in a revised rear apron which signals the high-performance capabilities of the 57 S. Even when the new Maybach is stationary, its dynamic and elegant presence clearly identifies it as an exclusive luxury saloon with outstanding performance – characteristics which make it a compelling choice for the sportier owner-driver.
New interior touches: a harmonious combination of luxury and dynamism
The contemporary Maybach interpretation of high performance, impressive handling dynamics and opulent luxury continues inside the 57 S where high-quality materials are crafted to perfection in accordance with the Maybach tradition and new leather appointments help to set the striking yet tasteful tone. Deliberately distinctive and particularly exclusive, the visual statement made by the Maybach 57 S is picked up by the interior which features a carefully balanced combination of piano lacquer and carbon elements – especially in the areas within the driver's reach and immediate field of view – creating an atmosphere of dynamic elegance.
Engine and Chassis
Sheer dynamism thanks to 6-litre V12 biturbo powerplant
· Uprated twelve-cylinder engine with 450 kW/612 hp
· Impressive torque: 1000 Nm (electronically limited)
· Hand-built in the Mercedes-AMG engine "Manufaktur"
· Dynamic, safe and assured - the modified suspension
The new, uprated V12 engine which the Maybach engineers have enhanced in cooperation with the experts from Mercedes-AMG gives the Maybach 57 S high-performance luxury saloon breathtaking acceleration and outstanding driving dynamics. Thanks to biturbo technology and an air/water intercooler, the 5980 cc V12 engine develops a maximum output of 450 kW/612 hp which it is able to maintain from 4800 to 5100 rpm, while the impressive maximum torque of 1000 newton metres is available from 2000 to 4000 rpm. As the engine data indicates, the Maybach 57 S offers a whole new dimension of performance: acceleration from standstill to 100 km/h takes 5.0 seconds.
Innovative engine technology
A combination of cutting-edge technology and a whole host of well-thought-out details developed by the Mercedes-AMG specialists forms the basis for the outstanding performance of the Maybach 57 S. The forged pistons, for example, which are made from a special material which is extremely resistant to temperature and pressure, have an oil-spray cooling system with a separate individual nozzle for each piston. A particularly powerful oil pump and a large oil cooler ensure that all lubrication points are supplied with oil – even in highly demanding conditions. The housings of the compressor and turbine in both turbochargers as well as the turbine and compressor wheels are designed for a maximum charge pressure of 1.5 bar.
Special low-temperature radiator for high power output
The highly efficient intercooler in the Maybach 57 S uses the principle of the air/water heat exchanger for particularly effective cooling of the intake air (which has been compressed by the turbochargers) before it enters the combustion chambers. The large surface of the low-temperature radiator ensures that sufficient cooling power is available, even when the engine is operating at full load. As a result, the driver of the Maybach 57 S can count on high power and torque output under all operating conditions and regardless of the outside temperature.
The "Manufaktur" concept at Mercedes-AMG
In keeping with the Maybach "Manufaktur" concept, the twelve-cylinder biturbo engine is assembled by hand at the Mercedes-AMG engine manufacturing facility. Nothing symbolises the "one man, one engine" philosophy more clearly than the characteristic engine plate which is attached to the cover of the V12 biturbo in the Maybach 57 S and which bears the signature of the specialist who assembled the unit – a signature which vouches for the care lavished on the engine and the quality of the workmanship.
Modified suspension for a safe and dynamic driving experience
The Maybach engineers have taken numerous measures to optimise the suspension of the 57 S in line with its enhanced performance in order to ensure that the impressive power output can be put down on the road smoothly and safely at all times. Modified front and rear stabiliser bars are used to reduce roll when the saloon corners at speed. Furthermore, the vehicle's handling dynamics have been enhanced by lowering the suspension by 15 mm. The Adaptive Damping System ADS II and the semi-active air suspension have been adjusted accordingly for a somewhat sportier response.
Specially developed 20-inch eleven-spoke light-alloy wheels
The Michelin Pilot Sport tyres (size: 275/45 R 20) are matched perfectly to the revised suspension. These high-performance tyres are fitted on 8.5 J x 20 eleven-spoke light-alloy wheels which were specially developed for them, permitting higher maximum levels of longitudinal and lateral acceleration while also enhancing the handling characteristics even further. The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and the acceleration skid control (ASR) system have been reconfigured and optimised to take account of the higher forces involved. Enhanced ventilation of the brake system improves braking performance and resistance to fading even further under all operating conditions. These measures ensure that the Maybach 57 S always offers the optimum degree of active safety.
In modifying and retuning the suspension of the 57 S, the Maybach developers have succeeded in perfectly reconciling apparently contradictory requirements: the high-performance luxury saloon is capable of putting down the power demanded by the driver safely and confidently while maintaining the high level of ride comfort which is typical of the brand and which characterises a Maybach vehicle.
Exterior and Interior
The epitome of dynamic elegance
· High-end dynamics and exclusive luxury in perfect harmony
· Exterior visual cues emphasize high-performance character
· Carbon and piano lacquer set the tone for the interior
The designers of the newly developed Maybach 57 S have used additional visual cues to reflect the car's outstanding dynamic capabilities. Even when the vehicle is stationary, the exclusive monochrome colour scheme and the striking, yet discreet and tasteful modifications provide unmistakable hints of the performance which the 57 S is capable of delivering. A look into the redesigned interior reveals an exquisite mix of materials, an aesthetically rewarding combination of colours and the characteristically perfect fit and finish which epitomise the highly quality-conscious outlook and unique craftsmanship of the Maybach "Manufaktur". The new Maybach 57 S serves as an object lesson in how high-end dynamic characteristics and superbly luxurious passenger accommodation can coexist in perfect harmony.
Sheer dynamism: Monochrome colour scheme and 20-inch wheels
Numerous modifications and new styling features add visual highlights which meet the high design standards of the Maybach brand. The special position which the 57 S occupies in the product range of the Sindelfingen-based luxury automaker is signalled by the exclusive monochrome colour scheme used for the exterior. The two special paint finishes, available in silver or black, add to the dynamic presence of the new high-performance saloon. This aspect of the new model's character is reinforced further when a side view of the car reveals its 20-inch eleven-spoke light-alloy wheels, which were specially developed for the Maybach 57 S, and the dark tinted glass of the rear side windows and rear window (not in US market).
New face: radiator grille with twin louvers
The view of the front is dominated by the redesigned radiator grille. Although it is deliberately designed to echo closely the familiar Maybach design, the combination of the twin louvres and the use of a body-colour headlamp background gives the 57 S a distinctive face of its own. Fog lamps with a new chrome surround complete the brilliant and aesthetically convincing impression created by the front of the vehicle.
A redesigned rear apron is the dominant feature at the rear. It displays the two clearly visible chromed exhaust tailpipes at left and right to their best advantage by integrating them into the vehicle's lines. Furthermore, the boot lid features the legends "Maybach" and "57 S" – the latter model designation also appearing on the front wings below the A-pillar.
The overall image projected by the dynamically styled Maybach 57 S is a harmonious one – that of an exclusive luxury saloon which combines the highest quality and technical perfection with a particularly lively character and impressive performance.
Fine art: choice mix of materials features carbon and piano lacquer
The equally distinctive interior of the Maybach 57 S has its own special atmosphere. This is largely due to the use of components finished in piano lacquer or made from carbon rather than the fine woods which traditionally set the tone for the interior of Maybach saloons. Nowhere can the painstaking care with which these materials are crafted be seen more clearly than in the centre console: the innovative combination of piano lacquer and carbon elements lends the interior an extra sense of power and energy which provides visual reinforcement of the vehicle's impressive performance. As an alternative to the carbon components, Maybach customers can choose another new interior format featuring poplar wood in the colour anthracite. Also designed to harmonise perfectly with this colour scheme are the new leather appointments which are available in black or black and white and feature contrasting piped edging for an extra sporty touch. They are complemented by the selector lever knob finished in the interior appointments colour and the steering wheel covered in black, partially perforated leather. Both the instrument cluster and the ceiling instrument unit in the 57 S are calibrated to show speeds up to 320 km/h. All the controls within the driver's reach and immediate field of view reflect the tasteful overall design concept and the perfectly proportioned and driver-focused layout of the cockpit in the Maybach 57 S.
New rear passenger compartment reconciles top comfort with high speed
The interior of the rear passenger compartment of the Maybach 57 S has also been thoroughly reworked: the styling of the head restraints has been matched to the contemporary interior design concept while their ergonomic shape ensures that occupants can relax completely and enjoy typically high standards of Maybach comfort even on long journeys at high speeds. A non-transparent curtain which is available for the large, dark-tinted rear window offers additional privacy and provides a pleasantly subdued lighting effect even in daylight. The seat bases are trimmed in leather all round, underlining the dynamic character of the high-performance saloon.
The Maybach designers have paid particular attention to redesigning the roof lining and the side interior trim in the 57 S. Finished in anthracite-coloured Alcantara in order to match the interior colour scheme, these elements add further emphasis to the dynamic and elegant atmosphere while bringing out the ceiling instruments with their black piano lacquer surround to great effect.
Impressive in their own right, the choice leather, the particularly high-quality materials and the perfect craftsmanship which characterise the interior of the Maybach 57 S also testify to the Maybach Manufaktur's refusal to compromise where the high standards associated with the brand name are concerned.
Maybach Individualisation with gold and diamonds
Interior refinement elevated to new levels
· Yellow and white gold and precious stones create an automotive gem
· "Wellendorff Individualisation" in collaboration with jewellery Manufaktur
· Variety of options: "traditional luxury" or "gold instead of chrome"
· Individual solutions for a wide range of customer requests
"Wellendorff Individualisation" offers particularly discerning Maybach owners the opportunity to elevate the on-board refinement of their high-end luxury Saloon to new levels with exquisite gold inlays and precious stones. This latest development in Maybach's successful individualisation strategy is based on close collaboration with the German jewellery Manufaktur Wellendorff, who meticulously produce the unique decorative inlays by hand. The new options range from exquisite decorative trim strips, embedded in the interior wood trim, to monograms and individual coats of arms, picked out in gold and diamonds. Maybach recently extended the range of optional equipment available ex-factory yet again, adding tailor-made Business Packages, for example, and vehicles specially configured for use in the luxury hotel sector. Maybach also has something of a tradition of realising virtually any customer request, no matter how unusual.
Gold and diamonds create an unparalleled atmosphere
The standard fine wood trim on the Maybach doors harmonises perfectly with the skilfully crafted trim strips from Wellendorff, available in 18-carat yellow or white gold. The trim strips help accentuate the honed craftsmanship behind the Maybach interior appointments. The garland motif, typical of Wellendorff, and the hand-cut diamonds in the trim strips add a further level of sophistication to the Maybach interior. For the ultimate in individuality, the owner's monogram can be added to the long, elegant decorative strips. The trim strips can be fitted on all four doors, extending from the front to the rear of the vehicle in a continuous line.
Narrow, diamond-studded strips in 18-carat yellow or white gold can be added to the centre console too, along with an optional coat of arms. The selector lever can also be decorated with the owner's monogram or coat of arms as an option.
In the rear of the Maybach 62 the optional partition provides the ideal place for a prominently positioned coat of arms, which can be set off to perfection with 18-carat white or yellow gold strips and discreet diamonds. Combining the ornamented partition with the optional trim strips for the rear centre console creates an elegant and harmonious look and lends the interior a highly individual feel. The decorative elements coordinate perfectly with the interior appointments, producing a highly distinctive, elegant and harmonious on-board atmosphere – take, for example, the combination of yellow gold, high-quality matt burr walnut and the california beige interior, or white gold in conjunction with anthracite-coloured appointments and elegant poplar trim.
Jewellery produced by artisans: masterly skill and precision craftsmanship
Wellendorff Individualisation is carried out with consummate skill at Wellendorff's Manufaktur production facility in Pforzheim. The finest of contours are precision-modelled by hand, allowing the delicate details of a personal coat of arms to be replicated perfectly. In terms of clarity and colour, the inlaid diamonds are categorised as IF/G (internally flawless/rare white). Setting the precious trim elements requires the utmost care and a great deal of experience. The required recesses have to be cut out of the Maybach's high-quality wood appointments before the goldsmiths skilfully set each element, working to a tolerance of up to five thousandths of a millimetre. The refined gold trim strips are attached using specially developed retention pins, which are anchored in the wood and have a diamond head to fix the individual decorative elements in place.
The meticulous craftsmanship is testament to the Manufaktur philosophy which Maybach, as a manufacturer of luxury cars, shares with Wellendorff. The results of the collaboration vouch for precision craftsmanship and accuracy, a meticulous attention to detail and the very highest of quality standards.
Customer dreams come true: individual solutions
Maybach has developed and built a special Maybach 57 Saloon model, designed to meet the particular customer requirements associated with the international luxury hotel sector. The concept can also be applied to the Maybach 62. Numerous details and technical features of the model are tailored to the needs of a vehicle operating on a daily basis in the hotel business, with a high passenger turnover. The new-design, easy-access multiple stowage compartments in the rear, for example, can be used to hold tissues or wet-wipes for arriving guests. The car phone in the rear centre console is connected via a conventional telephone lead and the backs of the front seats feature practical fold-down tables in place of the usual video monitors.
Typical Maybach materials are very much in evidence in the interior, which offers the familiar refined, high-quality feel, but is also extremely hardwearing. Particular attention has also been paid to the luggage compartment: a special Maybach rug can be used to protect valuable items of luggage.
Breathtaking: gold instead of chrome in the interior
Maybach has created a study, based on the Maybach 57, which reflects a very special customer demand: all chrome trim parts in the vehicle interior are gold-plated, a wafer-thin layer of genuine 24-carat gold being applied to each one. The gleam of the gold adds a heightened touch of refinement to the interior of the Maybach Saloon, and harmonises perfectly with the high-quality wood and the Maybach leathers used for the study. A carefully coordinated gold paint was selected for the wheels and applied using a special, newly developed process. The expertise which the Maybach specialists have build up over the course of this project will allow them to take the most exclusive of customer requests in their stride in the future.
"Traditional luxury": a de luxe feel and refined comfort
Maybach has developed a further alternative version of the Maybach 57 model, focusing on design options for the interior. The aim of the designers and engineers was to use new and different materials and alternative methods to reinterpret the quality and comfort that luxury saloons typically offer. Features include double rows of stitching on the leather seats and deep-pile lambskin carpets, highlights from the world of traditional luxury.
Personalisation perfected
One of the most popular customer requests is to have a monogram or coat of arms inscribed in a prominent place inside the Maybach Saloon. Maybach also offers the option of having the double "M" emblem embossed in the leather of the door panels — a feature which is not just popular with car enthusiasts and collectors of historic Maybach Saloons, but allows Maybach owners to express their special attachment to the brand too.
On the right course
A compass, designed to coordinate with the nautical-look instruments in the roof liner in the rear of the car, lets rear-seat passengers know exactly which direction they are travelling in. The compass can also be set to point towards a specific location. The compass has proved particularly popular in the Middle East and in South-East Asia, where the request for this product originated.
Exclusive and individual: Maybach optional extras and features available at special customer request, fitted at the Manufaktur
Maybach has been developing and expanding the official range of optional extras and features available at special customer request since the market launch of the luxury Saloons around two years ago. Continuous dialogue with Maybach customers plays a key role here, providing details of new requirements and wishes from this most exclusive clientele.
Tailor-made Business Package
For some time now a special Business Package for notebook users has been available as an ex-factory option. This innovative Maybach mobile office system, which includes mobile internet access and a printer, can be put together individually, following consultation with the customer. Wireless Bluetooth technology allows the customer's own notebook to be integrated on board. For work purposes, the computer can be placed on one of the fold-down tables between the rear seats, and when not in use, it can be stowed away in a multifunction compartment on the back of the seats.
Discretion and security with partition and special protection
Customers who appreciate the utmost discretion can order a partition with retractable window - where approved in the country in question - for the Maybach 62. At the touch of a button, the electrotransparent glass can also be rendered opaque, shutting off the view into the rear. The Maybach Guard, which is also based on the Maybach 62, offers special protection against external attacks. The protection features offer High Protection, as specified by European protection class B4.
Alternative seat configuration for the rear
For customers who want to carry up to three rear passengers, Maybach offers an alternative seat configuration with a third seat in the centre of the rear. In this configuration the two luxurious individual seats are retained, and an additional seat added in place of the standard centre console. The back of this third seat is designed to ensure that all three rear passengers are seated comfortably. Where models are fitted with three seats in the rear, the control elements which are usually accommodated in the centre console — for the curtain, the light and the entertainment units — are integrated in a compact Bluetooth palmtop. The wireless "remote control" is housed in a stowage compartment on the back of the front passenger seat.
Versatility from the ground up: nine different bodies to choose from
The top-of-the-line model, the Maybach 62, which measures 6.17 metres in length, and the Maybach 57, which has a body length of 5.73 metres, form the basis of the Maybach range. The Maybach 62 can be ordered as a Maybach Guard model with special protection features as an alternative. Where the roof is concerned, the customer can choose between the fully closed version, a solar roof and a sliding roof – both positioned either at the front, as usual, or, alternatively, at the rear. There is also the option of an electrotransparent panoramic glass roof. With a total of nine different body variants on offer, Maybach customers are spoiled for choice when it comes to deciding on their own personal dream Saloon.
