Speculations: First Sighting of New Maybach

More individuality

Don't be afraid, this Frankensteinian look on the Mercedes S Class is purely for testing purposes. But testing for what? We reckon that Daimler AG is running preliminary tests on the streets of Stuttgart for a new Maybach.
Maybach has never performed as well as Daimler had hoped, selling just 32 vehicles in Germany in 2006, but the German manufacturer has not given up hope on the ultra-luxury brand just yet.

Recently a special, officially one-off but rumoured to be a limited edition, - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER of the Maybach 57 was shown at the Middle East Motor Show in Dubai. And only last week Brabus catapulted the 57 around Nardo to set the - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER at 330,6 km/h.

The current line-up of Maybach are all based on the Mercedes S Class, but with this new addition Maybach is set to receive a more individual design to distinguish itself more from th 'regular' - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER of the Mercedes brand.
The ultra-luxury market has been flailing (direct competitors like the VW Phaeton and Rolls-Royce Phantom are no big sellers either) except for the Bentley GT and Flying Spur have booked success. And it is those customers that Maybach, just like - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER, will be targeting with a new model.

Looks extremely nice... hopefully the interior is as amazing

Well firstly i didn expect mb to make another maybach ..so if they are well they have balls because the money they going to spend on testing and building this car is plenty and seeing as the current one is a failure ...

if they are planning the next maybach it should not look anything near the current maybach or that chop above because it still has simalaraties to the s class ans that in my opinion is the main problem ..also the inteiror must be totally different from the s class especilaly the fron which in the current maybach has many simalarities to the s...

on the other the hand maybe they not testing the maybach maybe its a pullman s class which it looks like ...so lets see

^^ I wasn't being too serious BMW_Owner, I don't think it is really horrible.

However, I am quite astounded that The Artist likes it ....and yet he hates this:

....I really wonder about you sometimes Kashef

The Artist · 11-22-2007, 05:46 AM

oh god not again. PLEASE!!! MB, just please don't make the new Maybach a rip-off of the S-class, again. I hope they go in a direction of the Exelero and not a re-hash of the current S-class design.

SDNR · 11-22-2007, 05:54 AM

OK Artist

This chop has the ODC's rear wheel arch molding (whatever it's called) ....this whole thing makes me wonder if Daimler are considering making the ODC a Maybach -- I honestly think that would be a wise move if there is to be any real future for the Maybach brand -- it would definitely be something bold and unique that would give Bentley and Rolls a serious fight.
