For entertainment and information, the rear compartment is also equipped with such electronic systems as a TV tuner, DVD player, CD changer, telephone and universal Dolby surround sound system.
The telecommunications system includes a mobile phone as well as a permanently installed car phone.
The Maybach 57 may not be as long, but Mercedes says it, too, makes a definite statement. It gets a TV/DVD entertainment system in the rear, a Dolby surround sound system, four-zone climate control, and multi-contour seats for all passengers.
A refrigerated compartment in the rear, two-tone exterior paintwork, and the tilting/sliding sunroof are all available for both Maybach models at no extra charge.
DaimlerChrysler is currently setting up the Centre of Excellence (COE) at the Sindelfingen site, in the immediate vicinity of the Maybach Manufaktur facility.
This will in future be at the heart of the Maybach brand and is where Maybach customers will be offered comprehensive help and advice.
Further Maybach Centres are to be established in Europe, the Middle East, Japan, Hong Kong and North America.
At these places, customers will meet with their Personal Liaison Manager, who will be on hand at all times to assist them with any questions they may have about the car.
With this service, DaimlerChrysler believes that Maybach is setting a standard for other luxury car brands to follow when it comes to customer care services.
