Over 1.5 mill views already. Great marketing move by MB to continue to gauge interest in the W222 half way through it's lifecycle.
MB marketing done right, this is how collaboration should be done with You tubers and on social media.
 
Hani (Hanmust on Wheels) just reviewed the updated S 350 d for the Indian market. Uses Level 1 automation since the available radar frequencies in India are limited. Reviews it from the driver's seat and from the "King's position", the "royal chariot" in the rear. :)

Spotted this S 560 at the shopping center, in ruby black metallic. Even in the ever shrinking large luxury sedan market, there will always be those who wants to spend over $300 AUD for one.

...and here in its' home market, the W/V222 remains the dominant force in the luxury sedan segment. Despite being the "senior member". Porsches' Panamera II has become increasingly popular and has appeared to sustainably clutch the runner-up position (although it's really a luxury "sedoupe" rather than a traditional sedan). BMWs' G11/12 (which I personally very much like) and Audis' new D5 A8 are laggards.
 
The new S-Class contributed to the company’s success with strong growth rates. In the first quarter, demand for the luxury saloon was 29.4% higher than in the prior-year period at 22,691 units. The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class Saloon posted record sales in March and the first quarter, although its model change is coming up soon. In the first quarter, more than one in eight S-Class Saloons sold was a Mercedes-Maybach.

around 2500 maybach were sold in the first quarter of 2018,
 
Mercedes is printing money now. Wait until the G and AMG GT 4-door start to add in more high-end sales.

Things are turning very bright to Maybach versions,i can't wait to see what MB has for a fully fledged model.
 
What a bold and mean car,the only thing i'd change is ordering the optional 21 inch rims to properly fill those arches.I really hope MB is planning a whole new V12 with 4Matic for the W223 one last time.
 
Are they selling it with digital light headlights or is it just a proof of concept?

Are they selling it with digital light headlights or is it just a proof of concept?

Select markets (they mentioned fleets in an earlier article) will be equipped with the digital headlights. Here's a post from the Maybach S600 thread, where this discussion should probably be occurring:

Stuttgart/Geneva. The future of car light should start soon for selected Mercedes-Maybach customers: the revolutionary headlamp technology DIGITAL LIGHT with virtually dazzle-free main beam in HD quality and a resolution of more than two million pixels should be entering small series production in the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class. DIGITAL LIGHT is celebrating its world premiere in the updated top model from Mercedes-Maybach at the Geneva Motor Show. Selected fleet customers are expected to take delivery of the first vehicles equipped with it in the first half of 2018.

”With a resolution of over one million pixels per headlamp, DIGITAL LIGHT not only creates ideal light conditions for every driving situation; it also extends the visual support from our driving assistance systems”, says Ola Källenius, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and responsible for Group Research and Mercedes-Benz Cars Development.

The revolutionary DIGITAL LIGHT headlamp technology with outstanding performance facilitates pioneering driving assistance and communication with the driver and can create the ideal light conditions in every driving situation. DIGITAL LIGHT offers even higher precision than the MULTIBEAM LED headlamps, minimising the risk of other road users being dazzled. DIGITAL LIGHT delivers an important contribution towards improving safety in road traffic - as an integral part of the overall INTELLIGENT DRIVE strategy.

The car is selling like hotcakes. They're everywhere now here in the U.S. and I see a lot of the lower rung S450s too. Best time to get a C,E or S is at facelift time. The new CLS you buy NOW.
