S-Class (W222/C217/A217) [Official] Mercedes-Maybach S600 (X222)

I felt as it is the three point star on the bonnet. According to an executive from MB, the hood star will remain 'star' as Mercedes is main brand and both Maybach, AMG & the upcoming EV will remain as sub brand.

Could be, hannaz. To me it looks like the MM logo, but it's a blurred picture. The MM logo would be more appropriate if this one is meant to fight the British establishment.

Might remind a bit of the red Vision CLS? Could it be a Vision CLS GT or some such?

Hmm, interesting. Taking into account you've posted a picture of the concept Coupé also in the CLS next/3rd Gen. thread. Could it be a vision of a very exclusive two door, classical GT (in the sense of Grand Turismo) CLS? In other words a fine Coupé based on the 4 door CLS. Just thinking ...

Drivex india just posted a Mercedes-Maybach S 500 video review. By GCF member hannaz. Seems the suspension adapts quite well to the bumpy roads in India, since the ride is said to resemble a magic carpet floating above the road, absorbing all harshness. Check it out below.

Wolfgang, thank you for sharing our new video.

You are absolutely true, suspension really play a good role in India. That is the key selling factor in India.

The Scaldarsi Emperor I is a Mercedes-Maybach S600 taken to 11 on the bad-taste scale

We promise there's a Maybach under there. Somewhere.

The custom car world is filled with vehicles designed by people that don't know when to quit. The Scaldarsi Emperor I, shown here in all its awful rose-gold glory, appears to have been designed by an enthusiast of the KFC Double Down. It's a hideous creation and we can't let it pass without saying so. We also can't look away.

Scaldarsi's so-called "artists" have thoroughly reworked what was a perfectly wonderful Mercedes-Maybach S600. In addition to the 24-karat rose gold accents, the company has crafted a new front fascia and modified the side and rear treatments. Inside, the general S600 shape remains, but new leather and wood cover nearly every surface. Your insane imagination will not be tamed, as there are 24 colors for the leather, 24 types of animal hides, 78 types of wood, and 16 exterior body colors available. The result, at least in the publicity shots, is a mix of awkward textures and seats that look like a pile of colorful marshmallows.

Those interested in purchasing an Emperor I can option custom-engraved champagne glasses, matching tote bags, and even an Emperor Edition Rolex watch. If the standard key fob is too common for your taste, they'll make you one custom. Watch out for that Scaldarsi logo, though – it looks mean enough to rip through your pocket and take a chunk out of your leg.

We will give Scaldarsi credit for wisely letting Brabus handle the power. The Emperor I uses the 6.3-liter twin-turbocharged V12 from the Brabus Rocket 900. This 888-horsepower monster is a tuned version of the V12AMG uses in the S65, SL65, and G65. The Emperor I has an estimated 0-60 mph time of just 3.7 seconds, which is quick enough to leave stoplights before anyone recognizes you behind the wheel.

Scaldarsi is asking a mere $1.5 million for each of 10 examples being created. If you miss out on the Emperor I or are some kind of twisted completist that needs one of each, this just the first in a series of customs the company will offer. Next up is the Emperor II (a Mercedes-AMG S65 Coupe), which will be followed by the Emperor III (Bentley Bentayga), Emperor IV (Mercedes-AMG G65), and Emperor V (Bugatti Chiron). Lord help us all.

The sentence below the first pic is funny:

"We promise there's a Maybach under there. Somewhere."

Is this Maybach for the new Joker?

Joking aside, this just makes me angry.

"You are absolutely true, suspension really play a good role in India. That is the key selling factor in India."

Then, Merc should be in advantage compared to competition.
Is it Mercedes best seller in India ( compared with BMW and Audi ) ?

Nobody needs to see this

Thank you WAND.

S-Class & Maybach segment is purely a chauffeur driven in India, so ride comfort really matters. More over, Mercedes as a brand has always had more appeal on high-end segment, hence S-class have been the market leader till date.

But when it come to entire luxury market, Mercedes have lost to BMW & Audi in previous few years in India. But since last year Merc is topper with a clear margin of over 2000 units in total sale.
