STUTTGART: The new Mercedes-Maybach S-Class is now on sale with V8 and V12 engine options in Germany.
The Mercedes-Maybach S 580 with a 4.0-litre V8 engine and integrated second-generation starter-alternator and 48-volt onboard electrical systems starts from €164,565 (RM830,000).
Its output of 503hp with 700Nm of torque allows a 0-100kph sprint of 4.8 seconds.
The Mercedes-Maybach S 580 powered by a 6.0-litre V12 is priced from 217,323 euros.
Power delivery is higher at 612hp with 900Nm of torque, a 0-100kph dash is completed in 4.5 seconds.
The Mercedes-Maybach line-up features 4Matic drive system and a 18cm longer wheelbase compared with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class long wheelbase variant and this feature benefits the rear passengers.
Executive seats and the Chauffeur Package also come standard, making the rear area a comfortable workspace or relaxation area.
With active road noise compensation, the interior of the already very quiet Mercedes-Maybach S-Class becomes even quieter.
In a similar way to headphones with noise suppression, the system reduces unwanted low-frequency noises using counter-phased sound waves.
Active road noise compensation is a function of the Burmester high-end 4D surround sound system.
Key optional features include:
> A two-tone paint finish with a fine dividing line. A total of ten colour combinations from the Mercedes-Maybach paint chart are available for this.
> Electrically powered comfort doors at the rear are operated, they open and close with no human effort even on gradients.
> Rear-axle steering allows S-Class to be as manoeuvrable as a compact car when driving in town.
> DIGITAL LIGHT headlamp technology that allows projection of guidelines or warning symbols onto the road surface,
> Adaptive rear illumination where the brightness and colour temperature of the interior lighting is adjustable in several stages.
> MBUX Interior Assist in the rear that is able to detect rear-seat passengers and extend head restraints automatically.
> MBUX high-end Rear Seat Entertainment system for passengers in the rear can also enjoy the full MBUX experience with direct access to vehicle functions.
At the same time as the Mercedes-Maybach models, the V8 petrol engine also has its debut in the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, as the S 580 4MATIC.
This S-Class variant is available in standard and long wheelbase, and starts at €126,366 (RM637,000).
