Maybach 57/62 (W240/V240) Maybach 57S Coupe by Xenatec first production unit emerges


The Maybach 57 (W240) and 62 (V240) were the first automobile models of the Maybach brand since its revival by DaimlerChrysler AG (now Mercedes-Benz Group AG). The concept car and production models were based on the Mercedes-Benz W140 S-Class. Both models had an "S" (Spezial) option, and additional Landaulet version for the 62 S. Production: April 2002 – February 2013, 3,321 produced.
If Mercedes were really want to bring in a cash cow to town then they will need to go all out with a bespoke Maybach range to challenge Bentley and RR.
For Mercedes, now is definitely not the time to invest hundreds or thousands of millions of dollars they aren't currently generating in this. It's an extremely risky move that resulted in enormous losses for them just 20 or 25 years ago.

Despite that, I'd love to see it happen.
 
I have to agree. Let things calm down and get the ICE/EV mix right and get the existing products quality up and then maybe explore fleshing out Maybach.

They lost a small fortune when they tried last time, what makes you think they are ready to do it again?

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.
