| Maybach presented its high-end luxury sedans with added sparkle and with significantly extended high-class equipment and individualization options at the 2010 China Auto Show in Beijing. The facelifted versions of the Maybach sedans exceptional status is found in its new dominant chrome radiator grille, which is meticulously produced in two different variants. In the Maybach 57 and 62 models it has 20 fine longitudinal bars, and in the Maybach 57 S and 62 S twelve solid double louvers and a "shadow strut" flag up the vehicle's tremendous power. Both arrow-shaped radiator grilles are also higher and boast significantly greater dimensions than before, and they have been assigned a more upright position. The designers have elevated the modified hood and given it sharply defined contours. It has a contoured edge and appears distinctly arrow-shaped. A restyled, horizontally structured bumper trim gives the Maybach sedans an even broader look. Daytime driving lights featuring LED technology and bordered with a chrome insert have been integrated into the outer air intakes. The new exterior mirrors with optimized aerodynamics for less driving noise harmonize with the striking front, whilst their large surface means improved vision. Dark red tail lights and chrome trim used on the handle in the boot lid lend the end section a powerful, distinguished look. This in turn is underlined by new high-sheen 21-spoke 19-inch wheels in titanium silver for the Maybach 57 and 62 models. The Maybach 57 S and 62 S models will in future be shod as standard with new 12-spoke 20-inch wheels in noble sterling silver. All models are available in the new Bahamas Blue paint. The rear reclining seat which has only been available in the Maybach sedans with a long wheelbase up until now can, with immediate effect, also be installed on the front-passenger side in the rear of the Maybach 57 and 57 S models. The look of the seat upholstery layout has been refined and given additional piping. For the very first time there is an extremely high-quality perfume atomizer available on request, having been developed exclusively by Maybach. Up until now it was reserved only for the special Maybach Zeppelin model, limited to just 100 units. As an option a large, high-resolution 19-inch cinema screen can now be fitted to the center of the partition in the Maybach 62 models, as an alternative to the 9.5-inch monitors in the rear. If required Maybach will also fit the vehicles with an overview camera, via which the rear passengers are able to keep an eye on the traffic in front of them without being seen themselves—even with an opaque partition window. Thanks to an innovative WLAN router it is even possible to enjoy wireless internet access during the journey. Even though the Maybach developers have increased the output of the Maybach 57 S and 62 S by 18 hp to 630 hp, they were able to reduce the consumption figures and the CO2 output. The output of the 57 and 62 models remained unchanged, whilst consumption and CO2 output were also slightly reduced. |
