And most of the Maybach owners here literally drive by themselves.

While not being a fan of red hues per se, that "Designo Patagonia Red Bright" is really eye-catching. I'd love to see it on a "standard" W/V223 along with those multispoke Maybach rims. That'd be pretty wild methinks.

There are definitely some tasteful combinations to be made and the wheels are stunning for this type of car. It's a shame the SUV equivalent is terrible because that is where the sales would have been outside of China. Bet you the GLS 600 flops. You're better off with a GLS63 and you're best with a Alpina XB7.

Auto Motor and Sports makes seven points.
1. @0:00 Two tone paints, with much manual labor, take up to a week
2. @1:42 Interior is very quiet, with active acoustic compensation
3. @3:28 Best seating may be in the rear
4. @4:20 Comfort active body control, rear axle steering, road scan, active curve, Maybach mode
5. @5:39 MBUX with interior assist front and rear, rear door gesture control
6. @6:41 The engines. Maybach retains the V12.
7. @7:07 The Maybach 100th anniversary is imminent next year.

Some details about the two-tone paints.
One week for the second color.
On request, the exclusive appearance of the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class can be enhanced by a two-tone paint finish with dividing line. This is applied by hand according to the highest quality criteria. It can take up to one week before the vehicle is returned to the regular production process from the custom paintshop.
Even a two-tone Maybach begins its painting process in regular production. In the paintshop, the bodyshell is automatically and electrostatically given a full coat of paint in the colour that will eventually embellish the lower half of the body - plus a layer of clearcoat. In the electrostatic painting process, statically charged paint particles are atomised and deposited on the (earthed) bodyshell.
The bodyshell is then sent to the custom paintshop. Once there, the entire bodyshell is ground to a matt finish by hand. Thorough cleaning is followed by the first, particularly demanding work stage: masking off. As the designers did not position the dividing line between the upper and lower paint finishes in a recess or below a trim strip, this requires extremely precise hand-painting. A special adhesive tape with a corresponding gap is used to apply the only four‑millimetre wide dividing line between the two colours.
As an interesting detail, the doors are weighted with weights before masking the dividing line. This is to simulate the effect of subsequent interior finishing with windows, power window fittings, loudspeakers, panelling and other technical equipment. This allowance ensures that the dividing line along the side and doors will later be at exactly the same height.
All the surfaces that will later bear the lower colour are masked off. These also include the transitions to the interior, e.g. at the doors or wheel arches – even where trim or a lining will later be installed. This too is part of the dedication to quality.
The exposed parts of the body are now completely painted by hand. Pneumatically atomised by compressed air, the paint is applied so that it presents the same picture as after electrostatic painting – this is important because removable parts installed later on, e.g. the bumpers, must precisely match the paint finish. Before the new base coat has fully dried, the masking tape is carefully removed without damaging the edges. The complete bodyshell is then given a new coat of clear varnish.
This has to happen within a very short time window, so that the edges between the paint coats blend into each other and cannot be felt afterwards – unlike competitors, where the dividing line is painted on. If the experts in the custom paintshop are not satisfied, the complete bodyshell is reground, the topcoat is re-finished and the whole bodyshell is given a clearcoat. All in all, the process including the necessary drying times can take up to one week.
The following colour combinations from the Mercedes-Maybach paint chart are available, the choice being dictated by whether the upper colour can fully cover the lower colour:

I wonder what the 100th will be, I hope not only some special color or trim, but a limited edition coupe or something very special, like the concepts.Auto Motor and Sports makes seven points.

For 100 years they should make either of these in electric version maybe l...
Absolutely, but I doubt it will be launched in 2021. There are chances to an announcement of one such dedicated Maybach during the occasion of 100 years of the brand like they did with Project-One during 50th years of AMG.

For the Maybach's 100th....
Using the blue convertible concept as inspiration, use the V223 as a platform base, make it a two-door convertible and plop in the V12 and produce an interior similar to the concept, and voila! The V12 shouldn't be tuned for all-out speed but the pinnacle of smooth, relentless power delivery.
or
if they want to be truly forward-thinking, if the EQS' electric powertrain can be adapted to the MRAII platform, then that'll be something special.
