Maybach 57/57S [ROAD TESTS] Maybach 57, 57S, and 62 Roadtests
- Thread starter Merc1
- Start date
The Maybach 57 (chassis code W240) and 62 (chassis code V240) were the first automobile models of the Maybach brand since its revival by DaimlerChrysler AG (now Mercedes-Benz Group AG). They are derived from the Mercedes-Benz Maybach concept car presented at the 1997 Tokyo Motor Show. The concept car was based on the Mercedes-Benz W140 S-Class sedan platform, as were the production models. The models ceased production in February 2013 due to continued financial losses for the brand, with sales at one-fifth the level of the profitable Rolls-Royce models.

Re klier,
Yep it sure is impressive ...and you would never see a Phantom doing that ..but drifting would hardly be appropriate behaviour for a Rolls-Royce anyway.
As much as I like the 57S, I still think the Phantom is more desirable ....and according to the sales figures, it would appear the world's wealthiest car buyers think so too.

S65 for me. I want to be chauffeured in a Maybach if I get one.
Am I the only one that thinks online translators suck? I mean, they translate "Maybach" into "May brook" LOL.
The video is awesome (where's the one for the S65?), it's really quite in that 57S. Throwing a $400K ultra-luxury car like that around the track takes some guts

That video is downright erie, I mean such a big car being hurled around like that. Nothing but engine and some tire noise, but nothing else. It looked like it was going to keel over on some of those turns though. That said I still want a 57S and if I could afford a 57S then obviously I'm rich so I can have a S65 too!

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.
