Maybach 62/62S [VIDEOS] Maybach 62 Landaulet Study in action


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.

The Landaulet design was made popular in the early part of the century and there’s a good reason why it didn’t get past that era. As this latest video reveals, cruising around with the half the roof folded away and the driver cocooned up front looks downright goofy.
