(from Maybach Press
Release) Maybach – Excellence Refined: Evolution of an
automotive masterpiece – exciting, unique, effortlessly superior
Stuttgart – At Auto
China 2010 in Beijing, Maybach will be presenting its high-end
luxury saloons with added sparkle and with significantly extended
high-class equipment and individualisation options. A large new
chrome radiator grille confidently emphasises the legendary saloons’
exceptional status. Other new highlights include the bonnet with a
shaped edge, the trim on the front bumper with daytime driving
lights featuring LED technology, high-quality, dark red tail lights
and a new, exclusively developed paint and stylish wheels. In future
those purchasing a Maybach 57 and 57 S will also be able to opt for
the rear reclining seat from the Maybach 62 models. New items are
available on request, among them seat piping which is hand-braided
or refined with CRYSTALLIZED™ Swarovski Elements, an exquisite
flacon perfume atomiser and a WLAN router for wireless internet
access. As an option, a 19-inch cinema screen and an overview camera
for the rear passengers can be installed in the rear of the Maybach
62 and 62 S models. The output of the twelve-cylinder engine in the
Maybach 57 S and 62 S has been increased to 463 kW (630 hp) but the
pollutant emissions of all models have still been cut.
The facelifted versions
of the Maybach saloons are even more self-confident and effortlessly
superior, their charisma even more striking. The exceptional status
they enjoy finds its main emphasis in the new dominant chrome
radiator grille, which is meticulously produced in two different
variants. In the Maybach 57 and 62 models it has 20 fine
longitudinal bars, and in the Maybach 57 S and 62 S twelve solid
double louvres and a “shadow strut” flag up the vehicle’s tremendous
power. Both arrow-shaped radiator grilles are also higher and boast
significantly greater dimensions than before, and they have been
assigned a more upright position.
The designers have
elevated the modified bonnet and given it sharply defined contours.
It has a contoured edge and appears distinctly arrow-shaped. A
restyled, horizontally structured bumper trim gives the Maybach
saloons an even broader look. Daytime driving lights featuring LED
technology and bordered with a chrome insert have been integrated
into the outer air intakes.
The new exterior mirrors
with optimised aerodynamics for less driving noise harmonise with
the striking front, whilst their large surface means improved
vision. Dark red tail lights and chrome trim used on the handle in
the boot lid lend the end section a powerful, distinguished look.
This in turn is underlined by new high-sheen 21-spoke 19-inch wheels
in titanium silver for the Maybach 57 and 62 models. The Maybach 57
S and 62 S models will in future be shod as standard with new
12-spoke 20-inch wheels in noble sterling silver. All models are
available in the new Bahamas Blue paint.
Interior – superb craftsmanship
The rear reclining seat
which has only been available in the Maybach saloons with a long
wheelbase up until now can, with immediate effect, also be installed
on the front-passenger side in the rear of the Maybach 57 and 57 S
models. At the same time Maybach has enhanced the craftsmanship of
the seats for all models. The look of the seat upholstery layout has
been refined and given additional piping. On request the piping can
also be hand-braided or adorned with valuable CRYSTALLIZED™
Swarovski Elements. In the upper part of the seat backrest a
redesigned badge in 925 sterling silver with “MAYBACH MANUFAKTUR”
lettering is an impressive indication of the great love of detail
and serves as a reminder of the prestigious environment in which one
is travelling.
Maybach cuts an equally
fine figure when it comes to the range of individualisation options
available for the luxury saloons, which has been significantly
extended. For the very first time there is an extremely high-quality
flacon perfume atomiser available on request, having been developed
exclusively by Maybach. Up until now it was reserved only for the
special Maybach Zeppelin model, limited to just 100 units. As an
option a large, high-resolution cinema screen with a 19-inch
diagonal can now be fitted to the centre of the partition in the
Maybach 62 models, as an alternative to the 9.5-inch monitors in the
rear available until now. If required Maybach will also fit the
vehicles which have a partition – which, incidentally, can now also
be personalised with motifs of the customer’s choosing – with an
overview camera, via which the rear passengers are able to keep an
eye on the traffic in front of them without being seen themselves –
even with an opaque partition window.
Thanks to an innovative
WLAN router it is even possible to enjoy wireless internet access
during the journey. This state-of-the-art connection uses the fast
transmission standards HSDPA, UMTS and GSM/EDGE. A new mobile phone
hands-free system with Bluetooth functionality is also available in
the rear. And a newly developed DVD player in the rear now also
reads extended DVD formats.
As one would expect, the Maybach MANUFAKTUR showcases masterly
handcraftsmanship with no compromises in the interior, where
materials of the highest quality abound. There are three new
interior appointments with different leather, carpet and headlining
colours. New trim in selected dark brown bird’s-eye maple, which can
be combined with brilliant porcelain piano lacquer in the Maybach 57
S and 62 S, underline the regal ambience. As an alternative,
customers can now choose from carbon-fibre trim elements with a
sporty touch in various different colours, such as silver and red.
More powerful yet fewer emissions
Even though the Maybach
developers have increased the output of the Maybach 57 S and 62 S by
13 kW (18 hp) to 463 kW (630 hp), they were able to reduce the
consumption figures (from 16.4 to 15.8 l/100 km) and the CO2 output
(from 390 to 368 g/km CO2). The output of the 57 and 62 models
remained unchanged, whilst consumption (15.0 as opposed to 15.9
l/100 km) and CO2 output (350 as opposed to 383 g/km) was also cut
here. All the Maybach twelve-cylinder engines meet the EU5
standard/LEV2.
