    :eusa_thin I would have been nice if they presented it without the two-tone look.

    Looks "Made in China" in the front - Phantom, Ghost and Mulsanne overshadows the Maybach completely;)

    Want something with a big chrome grill, style and luxurious feel and drive? - S-class would be a steel and better looking buy,the Merc 3 Pointed Star overshadows the MM badge also.

    Maybach at Auto China 2010 in Beijing

    [IMG]

    OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE

    Evolution of an automotive masterpiece - exciting, unique, effortlessly superior

    Stuttgart, Germany, Apr 22, 2010 - At Auto China 2010 in Beijing, Maybach will be presenting its high-end luxury sedans with added sparkle and with significantly extended high-class equipment and individualisation options. A large new chrome radiator grille confidently emphasises the legendary sedans' exceptional status. Other new highlights include the hood 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 CRYSTALLIZEDTM 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 sedans 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 hood 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 sedans 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 sedans 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 CRYSTALLIZEDTM 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 sedans, 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.

    Man,it's a shame that gorgeous interior has to suffer from the exterior.:eusa_doh:

    Still for me it's the only car if for me if i'm not the one driving.
  11. LaArtist Premium Member

    the front actually looks good in those real life pics..
  12. HighestOfHigh Global Moderator

    If people would actually sit back and look at the car and stop comparing with the looks of Rolls-Royce and Bentley...it is an amazing car. I have always had the utmost respect for Maybach. The interior is first class and the exterior even though understated still looks remarkable compared to the regular luxury sedans.

    ^ I don't even think it's that. It's more like we're comparing the car with current Mercedes-Benz models - and by that standard the thing looks horribly dated.

    ^The side profile yes, but the front is still very aggressive (if you don't compare it with the Bentley and RR).

    True - It still commands attention in-person by sheer girth.
  16. klier Member

    Wow, 630 hp now for the S models :bowdown:

    Wish RR came with such a powerful engine too. The new TT V12 is more than capable.

    THe Maybachs have everything.....on paper. Thats their biggest problem.

    Three screens in the rear for two people.

    That says enough for me.

    Nothing else to do with the car but become ludicrous. So unnecessary.

    Three screens for two people is nothing different from the reality in people's home. Two people watch TV while passivley browsing on their laptops. Pretty much like what I'm doing right now -- typing this posts while watching BBC News on TV.

    I looks ridiculously tacky but, compared to the Rolls Royce implementation which just looks like a engineering marvel... That seems to be the differences between the two, Rolls Royce understands the difference between tacky accessories and classy accessories.

    Although I must admit, without the screen over kill and poor implementation of the screens, the rear cabin is truly stunning... Except for the center console carry on.. I don't like the design or implementation, looks like an after thought.
