Mercedes-Benz's most luxurious sub-brand, Maybach, has provided updates for the latest model year across its range. These changes extend to the 57 S, essentially a more powerful version of the 57 full-size ultra-luxury sedan.
Updates include a restyled exterior with a raised hood, larger grille, divided bumper, LED daytime running lights and darker tail lenses - all of which add a welcomed mid-cycle refresh to the model to help set it apart from the previous model year.
Interior changes include .925 sterling silver " Maybach Manufaktur" badging in seat backrests, new seat stitching as well as new interior colors, trims and paints to update the already incredibly luxurious cabin. Front passengers will also enjoy the reclining front seat that was previously only found in the longer wheelbase models.
Also changed is the massive 6.0-liter bi-turbo V12 engine, now slightly uprated for a total output of 620 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque, while still being mated to a stout five-speed automatic transmission.
Of course, all of that power must be transferred to the asphalt, and in the latest model year the 57 S (and 62 S) models will be shod as standard with new 12-spoke 20-inch wheels in noble sterling silver. All models are also available in the new Bahamas Blue paint.
Maybach also says that the aerodynamic signature of the vehicle has been improved, which also helped to reduce interior noise levels and increase passenger comfort.
Like the rest of the Maybach lineup, the Maybach 57 S is rated at 10 city, 16 highway miles per gallon.
As with all Maybach models, the 57 S doesn't particularly have a list of "standard" features as each model is custom ordered and is highly customizable. In fact, Maybach doesn't even publish a content list for its models for media or customers - to get this information one must visit a dealer to view the massive custom order guide.
That said, there are a few details known about the latest 57 S, but the automaker did announce new items that are available on request, among them seat piping which is hand-braided or refined with crystallized Swarovski Elements, an exquisite flacon perfume atomizer and a WLAN router for wireless internet access.
This state-of-the-art WLAN connection uses HSDPA, UMTS and GSM/EDGE transmission standards. A new mobile phone hands-free system with Bluetooth functionality is also available in the rear, and a newly developed DVD player in the rear now also reads extended DVD formats.
As one would expect in a luxury executive sedan with a starting price fast approaching $415,000, the Maybach 57 S showcases masterly handcraftsmanship with no compromises in the interior, where materials of the highest quality abound. There are also three new interior appointments with different leather, carpet and headlining colors.
Maybach 57 S Zeppelin edition
Although the Maybach brand is essentially intended to appeal to those seeking ultra luxury in an understated fashion, the brand does offer a limited edition in the 57 S (and 62 S) known as the Zeppelin, which will see just 100 units made.
This model comes with unique Zeppelin badging on the hood ornament, trunk lid, center console, door sills and champagne set. The Zeppelin also features some content otherwise unavailable on lesser models.
Key Competitors
With parent company Daimler preparing to shutter the Maybach brand in the near future, buyers should either make a move to purchase a 57 S sedan quickly or start considering one of its competitors, which include the Rolls-Royce Phantom, the Bentley Mulsanne and the Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG.
