Maybach 57/57S Maybach 57S Coupe by Xenatec first production unit emerges
- Thread starter donkeykong
- Start date
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.

Yeah.. and the design of the MM's interior was designed to make the CEOs feel like their never left their private jet.

Really? I thought it was designed for those who wanted a W220 but thought it was too cheap.
Tech?? If you think Bentley's have the latest tech you are mistaken. I have a friend with a Bentley cab, and a Garmin stuck on the dash. Petty funny.
Anyway, this looks better than the sedan. The front bumper has bling, but for goodness sakes why shouldn't it? Looks better than the boring, cheap crap bumpers Mercedes designs. I love the bumper. I think it makes the front fresh.

Maybach 57S Xenatec Coupe (2011) CAR review
By Georg Kacher
This is the Maybach 57S Xenatec Coupe. Swabian coachbuilder Xenatec is converting the Maybach 57 limousine into the opulent Maybach 57S Xenatec Coupe – of which it plans to sell 200 units at £595,000 each, plus tax.
Xenatec Coupes can be serviced at Maybach dealers, and Xenatec matches Maybach's standard warranty. The Xenatec is therefore the closest you can get to an official two-door Maybach. Financial suicide? We've had an early drive in the bespoke behemoth to find out. Read on for our first drive review of the Maybach 57S Xenatec Coupe.

Road Test: Xenatec Maybach 57S Coupé in Monaco
Monaco is preparing for a Royal wedding this summer. Prince Albert, ruler of the Principality of Monaco will marry former South African swimmer Charlene Wittstock next July. But this is not the only happening which should please the Royals and high society. At Top Marques 2011 an other marriage was celebrated, one between Maybach and Xenatec resulting in the Maybach 57S Coupé.
Mercedes-Benz presented at the 1997 Tokyo Motor Show a luxury concept car based on the Mercedes S-class – the Mercedes-Benz Maybach concept car – which in name, style and luxury referred to the historical German manufacturer Maybach. This name was revived as a brand in the early 2000s by Mercedes-Benz when the company launched the Maybach 57 and 62, which were aimed as a challenger for Rolls-Royce Phantom and Bentley Arnage in the “super luxury” segment. In 2005 Maybach presented the ‘S’ editions of their line-up, where S standing for ‘special’. The 57S and 62S are more powerful than the regular 57 and 62.
The Xenatec Maybach 57S Coupé is based on the Maybach 57S. The German coachbuilder Xenatec turned the luxurious four-door limousine into a two-door coupé in close cooperation with the Daimler organization. The coupé was configured by designer Fredrik Burchhardt who is also responsible for the remarkable one-off Maybach Exelero. The production will be limited at 100 cars with up to ten pieces already produced, each built to order to the buyer’s specifications.
[....]
As a car it stands out in terms of quality, exclusivity and style. As a brand it will use the Maybach principle and existance as a basis for future sales and exposure. In the end one single thought is left after our very first drive. The Xenatec Maybach 57S Coupé is a true driver’s car, which invites the owner and family members for a great, comfortable and luxurious drive.
