2005 Frankfurt Auto Show Introduces New Maybach 57 S
The upcoming 2005 International Auto Show in Frankfurt marks the sales launch of the latest addition to the Maybach model lineup: the newly developed 57 Special. This new sedan responds to the wishes of demanding customers for even greater engine output and agility. In order to meet their requirements, its 6-litre V-12 biturbo engine has been enhanced by Mercedes-AMG to develop 600 hp. It also features a firmer suspension setup to ensure that it will be able to transfer this formidable power to the road surefootedly without compromising the high level of ride comfort that is one of the hallmarks of the Maybach luxury saloons. This combination promises to make the Maybach 57 S the ideal high-end luxury sedan for enthusiastic drivers seeking the very latest high-performance technology implemented in a manner that embodies the perfection characteristic of the brand. The 0-62-mph acceleration time of just five seconds provides proof of the outstanding performance promised by the new Maybach 57 S. The new Maybach 57 S will be among in the luxury brand's offerings in Sindelfingen beginning in November 2005.
Visual highlights add emphasis to the distinctly dynamic character of this powerful luxury sedan. They include an exclusive monochrome color scheme featuring special black or silver paint finishes, a modified front section with an enhanced radiator grille and revised light units, a discreet "57 S" legend on the front wing below the A-pillar and on the trunk, as well as striking new 20-inch spoked wheels.
The highly distinctive and exclusive tone is maintained inside the vehicle as well, where a carefully balanced combination of piano lacquer and carbon elements -- especially in the areas within the driver's reach and immediate field of view -- create an atmosphere of dynamic elegance.
The Maybach high-end luxury saloons at the Frankfurt Motor Show also illustrate the exceptional scope for individualisation offered by the brand. One example on show is a Maybach 57, for which the specialists at the manufacturer have developed a paint finish identical to that of the Maybach "Zeppelin" model of 1933. And the similarities don't end there: although the two vehicles were manufactured almost 75 years apart, they share not only the same paint finish, but also the same interior appointments and even the same chassis number. Moreover, they belong to the same owner!
Maybach is also passionately committed to meeting even the most unusual customer requests with outstanding craftsmanship and painstaking attention to detail. This is reflected in features such as trim elements finished in gold and precious stones, gold keys, family coats of arms, and various forms of intricate inlay work. An extreme example of Maybach's personal individualization will be demonstrated at the show by the exciting Exelero Sports Coupe: Built as a one-off, this model, which was commissioned by the tire manufacturer Fulda, is capable of speeds in excess of 217 mph.
