In this treatment theMercedes-Maybach S-Class gets even more exquisite interior color combos, optional two-tone paint jobs, and a new radiator grille. If we cut to the chase, the two-tone paint works available for the 2018Mercedes-Maybach S-Class includearmagnac brown/black and savaa beige/black. There will be nine color combinations available in total, complete withdouble clear coat whichcreates a brilliant surface finish with a piano lacquer effect that gives the paint job a special depth. These should improve the aesthe...


 They are not calling it Rocket because that perhaps has negative cootations for a super-deluxe car like the Maybach. But it does come with a 900 badge just like the Rocket. We are, of course, talking about the newBrabus Maybach S650. The...

As promised by a very intriguing teaser, Daimler dropped a new version of the Maybach 6 concept at the 2017 Pebble Beach Concourse. The newVision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet still look like a sail boat with wheels, but it’s 110 percent hotter than its hard-roofed sibling. And it’s not an exact copy of the coupe with the roof photoshopped out, either.Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet comes with a number of new highlights, especially inside the cabin which is designed to offer “360° open-air luxury lounge” feeling. It features high-end materials such as rose gold for the trims,quilt...

A year after the debut ofMercedes-Maybach 6 at the 2016 Pebble Beach Concourse, the company is now bringing a convertible version to this year’s event. Now does this mean the next iteration will be a production model? Well, let’s just say they wouldn’t have gone to the trouble making two of the...

Although we are not sure about the validity of the ideas that spawned the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6, there is no denying this concept was one of the stars of this year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. What made this six-meter-long red barge so fascinating was the juxtaposition of an oldtimey design with up-to-the-minute underpiing. In this video we get to have a closer look at the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 and also see some of its high-tech tricks: [embedded content] Some of the most remarkable technical specs of Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 include its powertrain which features four compact permanent magnet synchronous electric motors for a total output of 750 horsepower. The four-wheel-dri...

We haven’t been exactly kind to the Mercedes-Maybach Vision 6 concept for reasons we have discussed at length before. Now though we have come across this rendering of a Maybach Vision 6 Cabrio, and the whole thing started to make some sense all of a sudden. The 6 works only as a cabriolet! You see, as a coupe the Vision 6 is a fairly ridiculous concept with its six-meter length and long boet and barge-like countenance. But when you lose the roof the car tus into what we suspect the designers had intended for it to be, which was a retro-looking super deluxe saloon with a mode twist. If anything, Maybach Vision 6 Cabrio has looks more of a barge than a coupe – in fact it looks like a Viking sh...

Already the 2016 Monterey Car Week is shaping up to be one awesome event. We were just taking about the new Koenigsegg that’ll be introduced at the event, now check this out. Mercedes-Benz is bringing a new concept to the show called the Vision Maybach 6. Not much is known about this mysterious car apart from what can be deduced from the dark teaser photo. But the very fact that Daimler has built a Vision Maybach 6 concept means they are not giving up on the Maybach brand like they did a few years ago and that alone is a cause for celebration. This concept could be the harbinger for what’s to come the revitalized Maybach brand, and it could be a bespoke luxury coupe in the same guise as Roll...

So far German tuner Brabus has been the only one coming up with a full upgrade package for the new Mercedes-Maybach. A couple of months ago the guys from Driving Emotions Motorcar of Canada utilized the styling package of Brabus Maybach to create one of the sickest ultra luxury saloons in the world. DEM’s Brabus Maybach 600 does not get, by the looks of things, the full Rocket 900 treatment, but then it also doesn’t cost the half a million USD that one does. This car is for those who are perfectly happy with their Maybach in every way except for the way it looks, and the way it sounds since this car also gets a sport exhaust. So what this Brabus Maybach offers is a more sporty, more serious ...

To really appreciate how special Brabus Maybach Rocket 900 really is,one has to dissect the car and trace its roots. It began life as a W222 S-Class, which was then tued into a Maybach, then upgraded by Brabus, and finally given a 900-hp engine and christened the Rocket. Now it is the world’s ultimate luxury super sedan and costs more than half a million dollars. And yet to an uninterested eye it is the same as a S350 diesel! We don’t mean to make the owner of this Brabus Maybach Rocket 900, who’s apparently a Saudi Prince who travels everywhere with his favorite cars – you can see his LaFerrari in the footage – feel bad, but you have to be a monumental gearhead to notice this is a Maybach, ...

A lot of people have criticized the new Mercedes Maybach for looking two much like the S Class upon which it’s based. In fact, they look pretty much identical. We think it’s not such a bad thing, because at least this time Mercedes-Benz is not pretending. One of the reasons why the previous Maybach tued out to be a failure was that it insisted on pretending to be something better and greater than it was. And what it was, was a slightly uglier S Class with some fancy chairs and more wood on the dashboard. At least with the new Mercedes Maybach S500 you know you are buying a higher trim level of the S Class. The new Mercedes Maybach is also cool because it looks understated, precisely because ...
