High expectations for the Maybach name will be matched by the manufacturing process at the Sindelfingen plant, which is flexible enough to ensure that personalized equipment and trim requests can be fulfilled while guaranteeing the highest levels of hand-craftsmanship.
PIONEERING TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS IN MERCEDES-BENZ STYLE
In addition to individuality, aesthetics and quality, the new luxury marque is aiming for technological leadership. Maybach development is in the hands of top engineers at the Mercedes Technology Center in Sindelfingen, so the new car can benefit from a smooth transfer of expertise. The Maybach is thus destined to exceed established Mercedes levels of quality in important areas such as safety, reliability and longevity.
Maybach customers will be able to choose between two basic versions — a standard — or long-wheelbase model. Fewer than ten vehicles will be built each day in the Maybach Manufaktur, which will have a maximum annual capacity of 1500 cars. Top markets for the super-luxury model will be the U.S., Western Europe and Japan.
TWIN-TURBOCHARGED V12 POWER
A newly developed 5.5-liter twin-turbo V12 will make over 500 horsepower and — even more impressive — 664 lbs.-ft. of torque. At a mere 2,000 rpm, this Maybach engine produces 90 percent of its train-pulling power.
