Maybach 62S coming in November.

Back in December, Mercedes division Maybach unveiled the - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER — an AMG-tuned version of the large ultra-luxury sedan. Billed as a driver-oriented version of the often chauffeur-driven car, the car has sportier suspension, increased output, and other performance enhancements. Now, Maybach is reportedly planning to unveil the Maybach 62 S — a similarly tuned version of the larger Maybach 62. According to Germany's Auto-Presse, the car will have similar enhancements to the 57 S, with output in excess of 600 horsepower. An unveiling is expected by November.

Re: Maybach 62S coming in November.

Another model that won't save Maybach. I can't imagine having a sporty version of such a road whale as the 62. This isn't going to do a thing. It appears that the 57S hasn't even drummed up any real sales either. This is hopeless.

Re: Maybach 62S coming in November.

I do feel a bit bad for DCX. Although I have been very very critical of Maybach, I would hate to see it fail completely. The actual Maybach car is beautifully built -- yes, it's outrageously expensive ....but you can see the obvious higher level of sophistication in the interior compared with the S class. The Maybach interior is everything the S class's should be anyway ...but I guess you have to pay much much more for that level of quality these days.

Maybach 57 S

Re: Maybach 62S coming in November.

I found this outrageous contraption. I don't think it is a chop ...but it might be.

Re: Maybach 62S coming in November.

Not sure, but the 62's proportions are ungainly regardless. Can't wait to see what the S version looks like, going to be ridiculous looking IMO.

That is all true abunawafff ...but this isn't really about performance, it's about exclusivity and prestige. I think there is a market for this vehicle .....Maybach have probably had inquiries about such a model ever since the launch of the 57 S -- but I'm just imagining the price . The 57 S already costs more than the standard 62. This 62 S is going to cost a fortune.

Re: Maybach 62S coming in November.

Well you can't say Maybach isn't throwing everything but the kitchen sink at making the current car work, yet another "exclusive option" is being presented:



At the 78th International Motor Show in Paris, Maybach is presenting its Model 57 S in a shining white paint finish for the first time. In this way the tradition-laden German luxury brand is meeting the desire of one of its customers for even more individuality. In standard trim the sporty and luxurious Model 57 S is only available with a single-tone paint finish in either black or silver. The shining new "Antiqua White" finish impressively emphasises the dynamic character of this high-end luxury saloon, whose outstanding performance potential particularly captures the enthusiasm of passionate owner-drivers.
