The Maybach 57 (chassis code W240) and 62 (chassis code V240) were the first automobile models of the Maybach brand since its revival by DaimlerChrysler AG (now Mercedes-Benz Group AG). They are derived from the Mercedes-Benz Maybach concept car presented at the 1997 Tokyo Motor Show. The concept car was based on the Mercedes-Benz W140 S-Class sedan platform, as were the production models. The models ceased production in February 2013 due to continued financial losses for the brand, with sales at one-fifth the level of the profitable Rolls-Royce models.
Is it just me or every Maybach has "cheap" number font on instruments? I don't know how they managed to achieve that "cheap" look, I mean it is Mercedes.
btw. I double posted to separate this from pictures.
This truly is a spectacular looking car and should have been made from the start. Maybach should have used the really luxurious looking coloured leathers and woods from this in their saloons. It looked so much nicer than what Mercedes achieved.
In November 2014, Daimler announced the revival of the Maybach name as a
sub-brand of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W222), positioned as an upscale
version akin to the more sporty Mercedes-AMG sub-brand.
