Handwerkskunst und modernste Automobiltechnik erfüllen höchste Ansprüche Souveräne Fahrleistungen mit 550 PS starkem Zwölfzylinder-Biturbo-Motor |
Maybach 57 and Maybach 62Designed with painstaking attention to detail and built in a state-of-the-art "Manufaktur", the Maybach 57 and Maybach 62, which were launched in 2002, have been continuing the tradition of the legendary Maybach cars of the 1920s and 30s, which stood alongside Mercedes-Benz models as some of the finest examples of automotive excellence worldwide.
Design: aesthetics and elegance
The engine: top marks for output and torque Specially developed for the Maybach Saloons, the twelve-cylinder 5.5-litre biturbo engine develops 405 kW/550 hp and offers its peak torque of 900 newton metres as low down as 2300 rpm. The high power and torque reserves of the superbly smooth-running engine ensure that the Maybach Saloons are able to rise to any driving situation with the ease and assurance characteristic of the brand. For example, the Maybach 57 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in only 5.2 seconds, while the engine's prodigious torque powers it on from 60 to 120 km/h in just 6.2 seconds. Safety: occupant protection with ten airbags In addition to a sophisticated body structure, the exemplary safety technology of these high-end luxury cars includes a total of ten airbags - two adaptive airbags with two-stage gas generators for the front seat occupants, four sidebags and two large windowbags for each side of the interior. The three-point inertia-reel seat belts with automatic comfort-fit feature, high-performance belt tensioners and belt force limiters are integrated into the seats, and are therefore able to carry out their full protective function in any position.

Designed with painstaking attention to detail and
built in a state-of-the-art "Manufaktur", the Maybach 57 and Maybach 62,
which were launched in 2002, have been continuing the tradition of the legendary
Maybach cars of the 1920s and 30s, which stood alongside Mercedes-Benz models
as some of the finest examples of automotive excellence worldwide. The model
designations are a reference to the majestic lengths of these unique vehicles:
the flagship Maybach 62 measures 6.17 metres, whilst the Maybach 57 is 5.73
metres long. Furthermore, these advanced luxury saloons are equipped with
a wealth of outstanding automotive technology dedicated to making travelling
in a Maybach as enjoyable and as safe as possible. They have set new standards
for outstanding equipment and superb craftsmanship at the very top of the
passenger car market. At the same time, these luxury vehicles reflect the
expertise of DaimlerChrysler as the world's oldest and most innovative car
maker and reap the benefits of the vast experience of Maybach's sister brand
Mercedes-Benz in the development and production of high-quality models in
the luxury car segment. As a result, key Mercedes-Benz innovations have been
further developed for the Maybach Saloons and are fitted as standard. These
include the AIRMATIC DC (Dual Control) electronically controlled air suspension,
LINGUATRONIC voice controlled operation and the COMAND APS control and display
system. These are joined by further examples of peerless vehicle engineering
which have been developed specially for Maybach and also serve to reinforce
the claim of the luxury car brand to a high-end position in the automotive
market. There is the 405-kW/550-hp twelve-cylinder engine, a 600-watt sound
system providing Dolby surround sound at every seat, a highly efficient four-zone
automatic climate control system based on two separate air conditioning systems
and - exclusively in the Maybach 62 - rear seats which boast an enviably
comfortable reclining position. One particular highlight is the
electro-transparent panoramic glass roof (available as an option for the
Maybach 62 in conjunction with a solar module which provides extremely pleasant
auxiliary ventilation).
The new Maybach models combine impressive technological
leadership with unsurpassed aesthetics, flawless quality and captivating
elegance. The new Maybach is the result of imposing size and presence moulded
into the most elegant of saloons, with an inimitable stylistic allure which
exudes the perfect balance of classic inspiration and avant-garde innovation.
Form, colour and materials blend together seamlessly to give the Maybach
high-end luxury Saloons an unmistakable identity and enhance their majestic
character. The Maybach's lines are designed to maintain an enduring aesthetic
appeal - both from the outside and as far as the interior is concerned. A
range of exquisite materials, including masterfully designed and hand-crafted
fine wood trim elements, adorn the inside of the car, the design of which
was inspired by one aim in particular: to provide the greatest possible comfort
for all the car's occupants. The impressive spaciousness of the 2.25 or
2.68-metre-long interior is certainly a good start, whilst the seat comfort,
low noise levels and highly efficient climate control on board the prestigious
Saloons continue the theme of matchless quality. The Maybach is thus perfectly
equipped to offer an outstanding driving experience.
