The new Maybach 62 S
Dynamic elegance further emphasised by the exterior Eye-catching exterior features accentuate the dynamic presence of the new Maybach 62 S and clearly distinguish it from the 62 model. These include a modified front end with a strikingly redesigned radiator grille as well as new, distinctive 20-inch spoked wheels and a modified light-cluster design. Like the 57 S model, the new Maybach 62 S boasts lavish single-tone paintwork in black or silver, both of which are available exclusively for the "S" models. Alternatively, customers can now specify a special paint finish in shimmering white. Discreet "62 S" lettering adorns the front wings beneath the A-pillars and the boot lid, while a modified rear apron with two integral, trapezoidal exhaust tailpipes hints strongly at the immense performance potential of the 62 S. Even when the car is at a standstill, the dynamic and elegant appearance puts the Maybach 62 S in a league of its own when it comes to luxurious chauffeur-driven cars. Further enhance the interior The contemporary Maybach interpretation of lavish luxury and consummate comfort and superlative dynamism is also reflected in the interior of the 62 S. Here high-grade materials are hand-finished to perfection for an intentionally distinctive and particularly exclusive look, all in inimitable Maybach style. Carefully coordinated applications of exquisite piano lacquer and sporty carbon create an atmosphere of exclusive elegance both in the rear compartment and in the driver's direct field of vision and activity. Newly designed, high-grade leather upholstery tastefully accentuates this overall impression. Twelve-cylinder powerplant and comfort-tuned chassis

Stuttgart/Dubai - The new flagship model in the Maybach
line-up is the Maybach 62 S. The engineers in the Manufaktur workshops in
Sindelfingen have built the high-end Saloon for the most discerning requirements.
And it’s a philosophy shared by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum,
the ruler of Dubai. “You shouldn’t take small steps if you want
to achieve something great”, says the world’s fourth-richest man.
For him luxury is an important aspect of his lifestyle.
The streets and bazaars of the rich desert city therefore provide the perfect
backdrop to experience first-hand the new Maybach 62 S and its characteristics.
The "S" in the model designation stands for "Special" and draws attention
to the fact that Maybach has incorporated many features requested by their
highly discerning customers into the 62 S model. The result is a new dimension
in travelling comfort, especially for the passengers in the generously
proportioned rear compartment of the new high-end luxury saloon. Not to mention
a prodigious power output thanks to the enhanced potency of the twelve-cylinder
engine developing 450 kW/612 hp, making the new 62 S model the world's most
powerful chauffeur-driven saloon in series production. Following the immense
success of the Maybach 57 S - which blends luxurious comfort with a sporty
temperament and, on account of its dynamic sports car-like handling, is favoured
by highly discerning customers who harbour a profound passion for motoring
and a desire to drive the Maybach themselves – the Maybach 62 S is the
fourth and latest model to join the Maybach range of luxury saloons. It is
primarily designed to be chauffeur-driven and meets the very highest of standards
in terms of space and comfort - for a truly relaxing ride - and dynamism
for saving that most precious of commodities: time. Precisely what is needed
in these increasingly frenetic times. Armed with this ideal combination of
attributes, the Maybach 62 S sets new standards at the high end of the passenger
car industry and also continues the tradition of the legendary Maybach saloons
which represented the elite in German and international carmaking circles
back in the 1920s and 1930s. Even then, many Maybach cars were built and
equipped to be chauffeur-driven.
Effortlessly superior performance in any situation
comes courtesy of a Mercedes-AMGenhanced V12 powerplant developing 45 kW/62
hp more than the engine specified for the Maybach 62. The twelve-cylinder
engine in the Maybach 62 S has a displacement of six litres and an output
of 450 kW/612 hp by virtue of a twin turbocharger and a water-type intercooler.
The impressive maximum torque of 1000 Nm (electronically limited) is available
over a wide engine speed range between 2000 and 4000 rpm. This provides even
the most sportily inclined of Maybach drivers with effortless power reserves
at all times. With acceleration from zero to 100 km/h in only 5.2 seconds,
the new Maybach 62 S impressively demonstrates its outstanding performance
potential. The top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h in
chauffeur-driven vehicles. The exclusivity of the twelve-cylinder powerplant
is underlined by a model plate on the cover bearing the personal signature
of the Mercedes-AMG technician who assembled it by hand based on the now
familiar "one man, one engine" principle. In contrast to the sportier
configuration of the 57 S models for owner-drivers, which features a stiffer
chassis, the Maybach engineers decided to retain the full spring travel for
the 62 S in order to achieve an outstanding, practically unsurpassed level
of ride comfort? In terms of comfort, the chassis marks the absolute pinnacle
of automotive engineering. Yet it also offers a high degree of dynamic potential
for reliably transferring the power to the road whatever the scenario. Hence
the Maybach developers have succeeded in reconciling, to a near perfect degree,
two very different requirements.
