S-Class (W223) [Official] Mercedes-Maybach S-Class (Z223)

I think that I get this. However, isn't that a bit complicated in the context of attracting the precise scrutiny of tax authorities ? We are talking about a very large, very expensive and very luxuriously appointed vehicle as an "asset" that may be construed as being "far too lavish".

Maybe things are a bit different in Switzerland than in Germany.

It’s an S-Class after all.

I don’t know how they do it in Germany, but in Switzerland it’s exactly as I described it.

95% are leased that way according to my dealer.

It’s an S-Class after all.

Here in Germany, what is under the hood influences the equation. Sometimes very considerably.

But not only that. The interpretation by tax authorities as to whether a vehicle is a " justified, appropriate asset" or an "inappropriately lavish asset" can play a significant role.

Though it was a “wife” movie, I was awestruck back in the day when the original movie had one of the first of countless film scenes with the W221 in early 2006. The silver is a nice homage for car nerds to the Iridium Silver W221 with pano roof (which was a novelty then) used in the original film. The W221 owned the segment in the US from the 06-09’ period - a marvel upon debut.

I like the blackened out lower intakes, which makes the Maybach emblems not so noticeable and the darkened chrome on the grill and rear trim looks fantastic.

The night series model is only available in these limited colours which is a pity you cant choose this trim with all colours.

Personally I like the Nautical Blue, Graphite Grey and the 2tone Obsidian Black Metallic and mojave silver.

Iridium silver is indeed a color they should add.

Hightech silver is no substitute tbh.

They need to bring back Brilliant Silver. The color of my beloved CLK430 Cabrio.

I checked the Manufaktur colors, there’s currently no pure silver available.

The Hightech silver has a blue touch especially if the sun shines.

Brilliant silver is a nice color as well.

With Nautikblau I prefer the chrome, but with the night series opalith Weiss looks almost perfect.
