Spotted: Maybach 57

[E36M3]

I was in Manhattan this week, and saw this in front of the hotel, and had to take a couple pictures.

The guy who owned it wasn't around, but I talked to his driver, and he let me get inside. It was absolutely incredible inside.

[/////AMG]

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: You lucky lucky lucky guy. You should have took some up close shots of the interior. The odds of seeing one of those in Canada are like impossible.

[04blackMAX]

nice man, thats the lap of luxury for sure

[Shaolin]

driver didn't tell you who owns it?

[nismodrifter]

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :drool: :drool: :drool:

craziest car EVER!!!
damn thing has optional solar panels in teh roof so on a hot day it will keep the interior cool (by running a/c or fan) while you're out so when you get back it's still nice and cool inside. Even has a glass roof which you can adjust the opacity of (have it clear glass....or adjust it so its tinted to various levels)

Hope I will be able to see one in person someday...

I'm thinking about trading in my house for one.....:nut:

You can also get a divider fo rth eMaybach so it seperates the drivers and passenger from the people in the back seat, oh and this is just about a $30,000 option or something.

[pinoyhero]

Now that is some serious luxury. What a sweet ride.

[3G]

and that's what i call legroom

I'm curious how much the car itself goes for, anyone know?

i think the maybach 62 is ~ 670k CND

[/////AMG]

Its about $550,000USD, Arnold ordered the Maybach 57 and 62...Well over $1million USD.

In the 1920s and ’30s, Maybach was one of the world’s most exclusive and prestigious nameplates. The company founded by Karl Maybach — the son of Wilhelm Maybach, who invented the first Mercedes — produced luxury vehicles between 1921 and 1941. The Maybach badge returns for 2003, gracing a pair of new ultra-luxury sedans. Ostensibly a product of DaimlerChrysler, Mercedes-Benz’s parent company, the modern-day Maybach is actually considered a make of its own.

Most people may never even see a Maybach when the abundantly sized sedan goes on sale as a 2003 model. The Maybach will come in two sizes: the regular Type 57 and the longer Type 62. Priced in the $300,000 range, the Maybach features a bi-turbo V-12 engine that pumps out 550 horsepower. Special features include an electrohydraulic braking system, Sensotronic Brake Control, an Airmatic Dual Control air suspension and Linguatronic voice control. Approximately 1,000 Maybachs per year will be built at a state-of-the-art facility in Germany, and Mercedes-Benz dealers must sign separate agreements to sell them.


Stolen from the Maybach site... $300,000 approx

[Stratus_Power]

i heard if you order a maybach, they'll fly you first class to Germany to pick your trim color

[Team_Mclaren]

Based on the 6.17-metre-long Maybach 62, the Maybach Guard is able to resist not only mechanical violence and attacks involving the use of heavy implements, but also protects the occupants from handgun bullets up to .44 Magnum calibre. This means that this version of the luxury saloon meets all the requirements of the European B4 "high protection" level.

Like the standard versions of the Maybach, the Maybach Guard benefits from the massive reserves of power available from the 405 kW / 550 hp twelve-cylinder biturbo engine whose output and torque are among the highest of any series-production saloon engine in the world.

550-hp bi-turbo engine provides acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds
They are also equipped with 21st century automotive technology. The ground-breaking innovations to be found on board include the Sensotronic Brake Control (SBCTM) electrohydraulic brake system, AIRMATIC DC (Dual Control) electronically controlled air suspension, the LINGUATRONIC voice-operated control system, the COMAND APS control and display system and the TELEAID emergency call system.

Optional security features available for the Maybach Guard models include a protected fuel tank, run-flat tyres which allow the car to be driven out of the danger zone even if they have been punctured by gunfire, and a passenger alarm system. The latter, which can be activated from any seat in the vehicle, locks the doors and alerts the outside world by means of visible and audible alarm signals. Communication with persons outside the vehicle is also possible by means of an intercom.

550 hp output, a 600-watt sound system providing Dolby surround sound at every seat, a highly efficient four-zone automatic climate control system based on two separate air conditioning systems

550-hp biturbo engine provides acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds

Beautiful car, it won some 5 star luxury award that is usually won by hotels, this is the first car to ever win it.

The hp is impressive, but you should see the torque #'s :D
0-60 in 5.4 is amazing, considering the thing probably weighs as much as a bus.

[syeve]

I thought it won some 5 diamond award too...the first one I think?

That's what i meant, 5 diamond award, it's the first time a car has won it, the award has been around for awhile though.

[mo_virgin]

I think they could use some extra design team funding... the exterior is not that beautiful... id rather buy 2 continental GTs or RR Phantoms with that cash

i found my new "chillin" car!! :bigpimp: :hitit: :D :drool: :burnout:

[hjr]

0-60 in 5.4 is amazingly fast when you think of the enormous weight of the car. Is that the engine out of the S600?

[E36M3]

Nope, I didn't think to ask.. I walked up to the car, and the guy was standing in front of it, so I asked him if it was his. He said that he was the driver, and then told me it was a Maybach 55 (it was a 57). I said, "I know what it is, God that thing is beautiful" or something likek that, and then he hit the keyless entry and said go ahead and take a look. Very cool guy.

its like hes in an airplane, fuk now thats lux... :drool:

THink of all the chicks you could fit in there. No more having a hard time fitting you and your girl in the cramped back seat of a sub compact. Get a orgy going on with all her friends to :pimp:

The S600 engine is a slightly detuned version of this engine putting out 494 hp I think, instead of 550 (also less torque), they didn't build the 600 Engine and put it in this, it's the other way around.

[4G63Power]

*checks wallet*...nope not even close :(

HAH!

[C4S]

:D

For me, I agree with all different magazines, I will pick the new Rolls-Royce Phantom over the Maybach! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
the size of the Rolls is in between Maybach 57 and 62, so does the price.

But for the Outlook, and the interior, I also agree with those magazines, the Rolls is nicer too. ( of course, for the money, I will go for Carrera GT)

Yeah ..the Maybach is more powerful and slightly quicker (5.4 second vs 5.7 0 - 100km/h)

Anyway .. those are the car in my dream only ! ha ha ... :banghead:

Again, at least, when I tell my mother, she knows what is a Rolls-Royce and knows the $$$$ too, but Maybach ? :dunno::

[E36M3]

I think that they are both great. I would go for the Rolls too, but that is only cause I'm not a big fan of MB in general, and also because I couldn't justify the price premium of the Maybach over the S600. The 1 in 10,000 people who would recognize the Maybach for what it is wouldn't be worthwhile.

I'd probably just grab an S600 and a 911 Turbo X50 since they'd be about the same price as the Maybach.

Justify the price premium over S600? Dude, if you're looking for a car that will just get you looks this obviously isn't the car for you. I don't care wtf the people outside are thinking when I get driven by, I'll be too busy with my seat reclined watching my favorite shows while getting a hummer from my wife.

Since I have enough money for a maybach I'll probably just buy a lambo and a porsche and a ferrari, as well, not instead of.


Edit - Note: Road and track has the maybach 0-60 as 4.9 seconds.

[E36M3]

I wouldn't be driven around in a car, so maybe that is the difference. Although it is somewhat fun to be driven around, I prefer to drive.

Having been in both the S600 and the Maybach (and only driven the S600), I just can't justify the price difference. I don't buy vehicles to get looks, because I really don't care enough about what random people think.

Regardless of how much money I had, spending $320k USD on a Maybach 57 just doesn't seem reasonable to me. Personally, I would use it to fund a business, buy a vacation home or donate to charity, but that is just me.

[sin]

the maybach is meant to be a car for ppl to work in, and to not drive, ppl dont buy it to drive around, its purpose is the polar opposite

[E36M3]

Actually, according to the manufacturer, that is only true of the 62. The 57 is designed to be driven by the owner.

Agree ! But .. I will go for a 760iL and a X 50 instead .. :D :D
4.9 second from Road and track ? not surprise ...
"Car" magazine from British got 5.2 and 5.4 second, which is not a big deal, every test could be slightly different ! :bigpimp: Anyway .. if I hv a Maybach or Rolls . I hope I am not the one in the driver seat, but the back seat, right ?

P.S. I have been wondering for a long time, why all the American magazines such as Road and track etc .. they always have quicker 0-60MPH tests then those nice British Magazines ???
I think the test drivers from England should be far better driver...
or a car in north american is always quicker due to whatever reason?? :dunno: :dunno:

[Hakkola]

Some cars it depends on altitude, I think if it's turbocharged, not sure about supercharged cars, the maybach is not NA, which could make a difference, driver won't really matter usually in an automatic trans car, unless the driver is a complete dumbass.

[Moe Man]

21 fucken speakers lol thats nuts

girls would be droping tops for you in -30 below

[nismodrifter]

who cares about how fast it goes 0-60 or whatever....the thing is :bigpimp:....I mean just look at the thing......I wouldn't give a crap if it went 0-60 in 20 seconds....crusing around in that thing would still make me :bigpimp: :D :D

The performance is just a bonus on top of the pure luxo value of the car

[sputnik]

the blingest of the bling

That is one stiff ride... nice galley Porchse 944. I heard they serviced one (Just a Mobil 1 oil change) in Calgary from the Hyatt DT dealership but has anyone seen one in Calgary???
