Mercedes-Maybach S 650 (second facelift)

Mercedes-Maybach has been a supplementary brand of the German automobile brand Mercedes-Benz since the end of 2014 . It succeeds the previously existing Maybach Manufactory , a division of Daimler AG that produced and sold Maybach limousines .

prehistory

Maybach-Motorenbau GmbH sold luxury automobiles under the Maybach brand from 1921 to 1941. 1960 Daimler-Benz took over Maybach-Motorenbau GmbH and with it the trademark rights. Maybach-Motorenbau GmbH was renamed MTU Friedrichshafen in 1969 .

It was not until 2000 that the Daimler-Benz successor group DaimlerChrysler (today Daimler AG ) announced that it would be selling vehicles under the Maybach brand again from 2002. At the end of 2002, the first vehicles from the Maybach manufacture were finally delivered.

In November 2011, Daimler boss Dieter Zetsche announced that the Maybach brand would be discontinued in 2012 in favor of further models of the Mercedes S-Class . On December 17, 2012, the last Maybach vehicle left the Maybach factory at the Daimler plant in Sindelfingen. The Maybach limousines were sold until 2013, after which the Maybach name was no longer to be used.

The extended version (X 222) of the current Mercedes-Benz S-Class ( 222 series ) now bears the Maybach suffix . The Mercedes-Maybach S 500 (4.7-l-V8) or S 600 (6.0-l-V12) has, in addition to high-quality materials and once again increased legroom in the rear (+ 40 cm in contrast to the standard S-Class ) now a reclining seat on the driver's side if required.

China, Russia and the USA are named as the main sales markets for the luxury sedan .

A 6.50 m long Pullman limousine based on the S-Class has been available since the beginning of 2016 . It has four seats in the rear, which are arranged opposite one another. The Mercedes-Maybach Pullman has the 390 kW (530 PS) V12 gasoline engine from the S 600. The vehicle was first presented at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show .

At the Los Angeles Auto Show in November 2016, the Mercedes-Maybach S 650 Cabrio, a luxury convertible limited to 300 vehicles based on the Mercedes-Benz 217 series, was presented.

In addition, the Maybach logo is projected onto the street when the doors are opened. The engine used is the 463 kW (630 PS) V12 biturbo, familiar from the S 65 AMG, which accelerates the vehicle to 100 km / h in 4.1 seconds.
