Maybach 57S Coupe by Xenatec first production unit emerges

That looks pretty damn nice, although still awkward and ugly in some angles. Cool and super elite though. I still think the CL is a nicer car by far, however.

I still say this was the best Maybach Mercedes built this time around. The Coupe should have been introduced much much earlier.

I saw a white one last year parked behind a white Drophead Coupe parked behind a white Veyron.

Looks even more peculiar next to its organ donor sibling.

I saw that car last year and its beyond awesome. Meredes should have built it because it is the most desirable Maybach out there.

In fact I don't know why Maybach did not sell well. I personally prefer Maybach over Rolls Royce. I respect RR, but Maybach is more modern. I guess, the Maybach was to similar shared to many parts with the S Class, when in fact the S Class (W221) was inspired by the M-B Maybach Concept.

^ Ok......

I can give you like 10 reasons why Maybach didn't sell well, but the most important one probably is that the car is a remodelled W220, and thus not at all 'more modern'.
And your facts are not facts. Where was it stated that the W221 was inspired by the Maybach???

You mean it is the other way round?



This was the Mercedes Benz Maybach Concept that was presented in 1997. It had a Mercedes badge. At this time there was yet the S Class W140. In 1998 the new S Class W220 came. Only in 2002 came the production version of the Maybach, with the technology of the W220. Then in 2005 came the S Class W221, similar look as the Maybach, but cheaper and with new tech. The Maybach then got only some W221 upgrades but still stayed the same old and overpriced W220 with W221 looks. This was Mercedes' mistake. Haters may say whatever they want, but in a Rolls Royce, they is nothing noticable that comes from a BMW, thus its success. VW does the same with Bentley and Mercedes should have done the same, but they didn't.

Having Driven and sat in a MAybach its so sad to see these pics and see the car is dead now what i a car this was in terms of the car it self.....Yeah Daimler screwed up with the design and simlaraties to Mercedes but i tell you this car was a few steps ahead of the S class that their is no doubt....I wouldnt mind a cheap second hand Maybach
