Around four months after their acclaimed world premiere in New
York, the high-end Maybach 57 and long-wheelbase Maybach 62 saloons
were making their debut on European roads. Equipped with the best
automotive technology the 21st century had to offer, they were
crafted in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and designed
with meticulous attention to detail. The new Maybach saloons
reflected the expertise of DaimlerChrysler as the world's most
advanced and tradition-steeped vehicle manufacturer, while
benefitting from the technical guidance and skill of its sister
brand Mercedes-Benz in the worldwide luxury car segment.
These are complemented by further masterpieces of automotive
engineering which were specifically developed for the Maybach, such
as the 'Type 12' engine (turbocharged V-12, 5.5-litre, 543 hp),
which delivers more power and torque than any other
standard-production saloon car engine in the world, a 600-watt
sound system with Dolby surround sound at every seat, and a highly
efficient four-zone climate control system with two separate air
conditioners.
Maybach's technical excellence is combined with equally unique
elegance, aesthetics, and design perfection. The harmonious
interplay of form, colour, and materials lends these high-end
saloons a design quality which accentuates their serene character
and gives them an unmistakable identity. The highest-quality
materials-among them more than 100 exquisitely crafted and
hand-fitted items of fine wood trim-embellish the interior. The
extensive range of standard and optional equipment gives Maybach
customers over two million ways of equipping their high-end luxury
car to their personal taste.
Delivered new to Japan, this 2003 Maybach 57 was ordered new in its
duo-tone colours of Caspian Chromaflair Black and Bryce Canyon Red
over Beige Leather. Loaded with accessories and options, it's easy
to see why the Maybach had a price tag of over €310,000 when new.
Even at seventeen years old and having been driven 88,000 km from
new, this Maybach 57 still offers exceptional performance and
refinement.
