HIGH-TECH ELECTRONIC BRAKING AND AIR SUSPENSION
In addition to safety features such as ABS anti-lock brakes and ESP stability control, the new Maybach will be equipped with yet another Mercedes technology first — electronic braking, which provides faster brake response with exactly the right brake pressure at each wheel. The lightening-fast electronic controls also provide a number of other benefits to make driving safer and less stressful.
A new type of electronic air suspension is designed to adjust for a wide range of driving conditions, to ensure highest level of active safety and driving comfort. Other appointments include four-zone automatic climate control, ventilated comfort seats and a new audio system that provides Dolby surround-sound at every seat.

MAYBACH — INVENTOR OF THE FIRST MERCEDES
When cars were first taking to the roads in the early 1900s, the name Maybach was already closely linked to Mercedes. Wilhelm Maybach was the technical director of the Daimler Motor Company and a close collaborator for many years with Gottlieb Daimler, who had developed the first Mercedes car in 1900. With its front-mounted, dual-camshaft engine and advanced honeycomb radiator, this car was the precursor of all modern passenger cars. Its inventor, Wilhelm Maybach, was considered the "king of engineers" at the time.
