The all-new Maybach 57 S (the S stands for “Special”) celebrated its world premiere at the 75th Geneva Motor Show. By presenting a more powerful and individualised version of the Series 57 saloon, Maybach is responding to discerning customers’ desire for even greater engine output and dynamic handling.

Developed in cooperation with Mercedes-AMG, the 6.0-litre V12 biturbo engine provides impressive acceleration, powering the Maybach 57 S from zero to 100 km/h in only five seconds. This makes the Maybach 57 S the world’s fastest series-production saloon in its segment. In line with the more powerful engine, the Maybach 57 S also comes with an uprated chassis.

The new Maybach’s more powerful 12-cylinder engine has six litres of displacement and generates 450 kW/612 hp, thanks to its biturbo technology and water/charge-air cooling system. Between 2,000 and 4,000 rpm, the engine’s torque peaks at an impressive 1,000 Nm (electronically limited), providing sporty drivers with notable reserves of power at all times.

By modifying the chassis to give it an uprated suspension, the developers at Maybach have succeeded in simultaneously meeting various requirements in an optimum manner. As a result, the chassis can reliably and skilfully transmit the vehicle’s impressive power and torque potential to the road, while retaining the high driving comfort typical of the Maybach brand.

On the exterior, the vehicle’s dynamic appearance is highlighted by a number of tasteful visual details. The redesigned interior features high-quality materials and the kind of top-level workmanship expected of Maybach.
