New 6-litre V12 biturbo engine with 612 hp
High-end luxury saloon accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.0 seconds
Modified suspension set-up for supreme driving dynamics
Stylish interior offers new interpretation of luxury and dynamism
Dubai - With enhanced performance and additional features, the new Maybach 57 S ("S" for "Special"), which is available in the Middle East in October, meets the requirements of demanding customers wanting an ultra- luxury sedan with even greater engine output and agility.
"The 57 S extends the Maybach 57 and 62 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 that is becoming a favourite worldwide," said Johannes Fritz, Director, Sales and Marketing, Mercedes Car Group, Dubai.
The new, up rated V12 engine which the Maybach engineers have enhanced in co-operation with Mercedes-AMG experts 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 612 hp while the impressive maximum torque of 1000 newton metres is available from 2000 to 4000 rpm. Acceleration from standstill to 100 km/h takes just 5.0 seconds.
Discreet and tasteful exterior visual highlights emphasise 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.
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.
