New York - Four months after its comeback at the Geneva Motor Show,
the luxury car brand Maybach is presenting the exciting new high-end automobile
to the public for the first time.
Equipped with the automotive
technology of the 21st Century, crafted in a state-of-the-art manufacturing
facility and designed with scrupulous attention to detail, the new Maybach
reflects the expertise of DaimlerChrysler as the world's most innovative and
tradition-steeped vehicle manufacturer while benefiting from the technical
leadership, know-how and unique experience of its sister-brand Mercedes-Benz in
the worldwide luxury car segment.
The Maybach defines the standards
at the very peak of the passenger car market, at the same time continuing the
tradition of the legendary Maybach automobiles which were among the elite in
German and international automotive engineering together with Mercedes-Benz
during the 1920s and 1930s.
Trailblazing innovations so far uniquely
available in Mercedes-Benz vehicles have undergone further development for the
Maybach and are included in the standard equipment: the electro-hydraulic
braking system Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC™), the electronically
controlled air suspension system AIRMATIC DC (Dual Control), LINGUATRONIC voice
control, the operating and display system COMAND APS or the automatic emergency
call system TELEAID.
These are complemented by further masterpieces
of automotive engineering which were specifically developed for the Maybach and
substantiate its claim to the high-end position in the luxury car segment: the
most powerful, highest powerplant in the world, the Type 12 engine (with 405
kW/ 550 hp), innovative and comfortable fully-reclining seats in the rear, a
600 Watt sound system with Dolby surround sound on every seat and the highly
efficient four-zone climate control system with two separate air
conditioners. |

A world apart
- Dimensional concept: new
standards in ride comfort
- Seats: travel in a
relaxed, reclining position
- Equipment: DVD player,
colour monitor and refrigerator compartment in the rear
- Dashboard: high-quality,
hand-finished leather surface
- Climatic comfort: two
systems for efficient, four-zone climate control
The new Maybach is an
automobile that distinguishes itself and its owner while excelling in every
respect - especially in the interior. Elegance, comfort, equipment and
technology are at a previously unattainable level, meet the most demanding
requirements and represent the peak of automobile development.
Merely
glancing at the dimensions of this high-end luxury car shows that the Maybach
62 is a world apart: 6165 millimetres long, 1980 millimetres wide and 1573
millimetres in height - no other series-production car approaches these
dimensions and is able to offer its passengers so much space and wellbeing.
Only the legendary Mercedes-Benz 600 (model series V 100) exceeded the length
of the Maybach by 75 millimetres, however the comfort-related dimensions such
as head and shoulder-room were more modest in this 1964 VIP limousine. This
illustrates the intelligent dimensional concept of the Maybach 62, whose sole
aim is to achieve the maximum possible comfort. A few facts and figures:
- The interior length
- measured from the driver's accelerator heel point to the rear passenger's hip
reference point -- is 2682 millimetres.
- The distance between
seats (front hip reference point to rear hip reference point) is 1570
millimetres.
- The distance between
the front seats is 840 millimetres - measured from seat centre to seat
centre.

The boot capacity also significantly exceeds the figures
usually encountered in this vehicle class. It is 605 litres - approx. 40
percent more than in other luxury cars. This means that the luggage compartment
of the Maybach has enough room to accommodate five large suitcases or four
golfbags. Should a Maybach customer require a spare wheel (available at no
extra cost) instead of the standard tyre sealing kit TIREFIT, the boot capacity
is reduced to 500 litres.
Rear seats: first-class comfort and
convenience
Two newly developed, individual seats lend the finishing
touch to the wellbeing of passengers in the rear of the Maybach 62. Their
special feature is the unique reclining position, which travellers have
previously only encountered with the First Class compartments of modern
passenger jets. If the rear passenger selects the pre-programmed reclining
position by pushing a button, the seat backrest slowly reclines to the rear by
up to 47 degrees, and at the same time a thigh support and footrest are pivoted
forward from the lower seat section. In this way the passenger is able to enjoy
the journey in a very relaxed resting position and adjust the seat to his
personal comfort requirements with just a few operating commands. |
