Vehicle Description
Chassis No. WDBVG79J68A002068
The reintroduction of the Maybach nameplate in 2002 was marked by
an extraordinary display of grandeur that quickly became a hallmark
of the brand. Transported across the Atlantic aboard the Queen
Elizabeth II, encased in glass on the first-class sun deck, the new
Maybach made a spectacular arrival in New York City, descending
delicately by helicopter at its destination. Upon its debut, the
Maybach not only elevated the standards of passenger cars but also
redefined the legacy of the legendary Maybach motorcars from the
1920s and 30s.
The Maybach 62 S (Spezial), is so called to reflect the length of
the automobile in meters, 6.2 to be exact. Inside, Maybach
described the 62 S interior as "a world of superlatives," offering
an exceptionally elegant and tranquil environment crafted from the
finest materials, meticulously hand-built with unparalleled
attention to detail. The cabin boasted up to 210 individual leather
components and over 100 meticulously fitted pieces of exquisite
trim. Underneath its opulent exterior, the Maybach 62 S housed a
specially engineered twin-turbocharged "M285" Type 12 6.0-liter V12
engine, generating an impressive 543 horsepower and an astonishing
664 lb-ft of torque.
Finished in Baltic Black over a Gray Exclusive leather interior,
this example - the top of the line 62 S model - benefits from light
use with less than 40,000 miles on the odometer at cataloging,
regular servicing at Mercedes-Benz West Palm Beach from 2021-2023,
and a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report. An exceptionally costly
car throughout its years on offer, the base cost for a 62 S had
grown to $431,000. At that level, many of the standard features
aboard the Maybach 62 S were unobtainable from other elite luxury
car manufacturers. With reclining rear seats with leg and
footrests, integral seats with massage function, rear folding
tables, Keyless-Go, power closing doors and trunk lid,
electronically controlled dual control air suspension, the 62 S
became the luxury standard bearer.
Of course, every Maybach 62 S is a highly customized automobile,
and this particular example features a number of noteworthy extras
when new that included the Glass Sunroof with Solar Panel Package,
a Partition Wall with Intercom Package, front and rear seat climate
control, and the rarely seen carbon fiber interior trim among other
additional cost options. A refrigerator resides between the rear
seats along with silvered champagne flutes for the fortunate rear
occupants chauferred in seats resembling those in the first-class
cabin of an intercontinental jet plane. As rare as it is
impressive, the final Maybach 62 Ss continue to live up to Wilhelm
Maybach's famous dictum, "To create the very best from the very
best."
