In 2002, at the plant in the German city of Sindelfingen, the production of a large ultornoyed sedan maybach began. With this revived pre-war brand, the Daimlerchrysler concern decided to enter the segment of luxury executive cars, such as. In Russia, prices for "Maybach" began with 20 million rubles.
As a basis for creating a car, models of the W140 and W220 series were taken. The gamma had two versions: the usual Maybach 57 and the elongated Maybach 62, the number in the index indicated the rounded body length in decimeters. Under the hood of the car was the engine V12 of 5.5 liters with a double turbocharging, which develops 550 liters. from. The gearbox was automatic, five-speed, drive - rear.
In 2005-2006, the model range was replenished by MAYBACH 57 S and 62 S modifications. They received a more powerful power unit - six-liter V12, the return of which was 612 forces. In 2010, a small restyling car was held.
In 2007, Maybach 62 S Landaulet was introduced, which had the "Landol" type body with the opening roof over the rear seats. Although officially it was concept car, single car instances did on individual orders.
The first time after the debut, the demand for "Maybach" was quite good, but gradually the interest in the car weakened, and after the financial crisis of 2008, the number of sedans sold annually decreased almost twice. As a result, it was decided not to make the second generation of the model. At the end of 2012, the last car Maybach was released, the number of machines released by that time amounted to about three thousand.
Maintenance Table Maibach
"Mercedes Maybach" is a car owned by the production of Saturday of the famous Stuttgart Concern. Mercedes-Benz decided to revive not so long ago by Maybach. And now, under this name, one of the most gorgeous cars are produced.
Features of the model
First of all, I would like to note that "Mercedes Maybach" with its appearance is very similar to representatives of the standard S-class. The only thing that distinguishes it is larger sizes, special nameplates, wheelcase design, as well as the converted design of the rear doors (they have become shorter - by 6.6 centimeters).
This car is longer than 200 millimeters of its predecessors for as many as 200 millimeters. It became larger and the magnitude of the wheelbase - it increased to 3 365 mm. But most of all the places in the cabin - the manufacturer took care of the comfort of his passengers and increased the space for the legs. Moreover, the indicator has become more than twice - 325 mm versus 166.
The driver's part was not particularly changed, but in the back chairs some updates appeared, and quite significant - the massage function, as well as electrically regulating. By the way, the backs are deflected - the maximum angle is 43.5 degrees. Even for passengers in the rear row, folding tables were made, as well as climate control. It is quite special, as it is equipped with the function of ionization. What to say, in the cabin you can even spray exclusive perfume!
And finally, the last addition proposed for a fee is a bar with two glasses made of silver manually.
Conversion
It is worth noting that the new "Mercedes-Maybach-S", whose sales started in February of this year, transformed in all plans - and in technical, and externally. Special attention to the manufacturers paid comfort - this can be declared only on the basis of the all of the above. However, this is not all. The developers attached the maximum amount of effort in order to make the car cozy and comfortable, and they succeeded. This is the most quiet sedan in the whole world. What to say, the famous concern surpassed himself. By the way, you can still notice the side windows that are put on the rear racks. At the expense of them, passengers are practically not visible - due to this they feel more secluded.
Absolutely all elements affecting acoustics and noise have been improved and improved - the result can be seen. Even the mechanisms installed in seat belts were subjected to upgrades.
Long-awaited novelty
Mercedes-Benz Maybach was one of the most anticipated cars. And, I must say, he justified hopes. In February 2015, the world appeared Mercedes Mercedes S600 with a six-liter V-12 engine type twin-turbo and seven-step its power is 530 liters. from.! But that's not all. A little later, another model - S500 came out. It is less powerful - the car gives 445 "horses", moreover, she has not 12th, and the V8-y engine is 4.7 liters. And automatic transmission on 9 steps, and not at 7.
Each of the proposed modifications reaches a speed of 100 km / h in just five seconds. And for both versions, a limitation is 250 km / h. However, this is not all. In the summer of this year, in July, the S500 will receive the All-wheel drive version of 4 Matic. Do not forget about the existence of a Limousine Pullman, which can still take on board two people.
Salon and exterior
"Mercedes-Maybach" both outside and from the inside. And it is not surprising, because the car is a premium representative. In addition to all of the above, a surround sound system is installed (and not some simple, and burmester), loudspeakers (necessary for passengers to be more convenient to communicate with the driver), as well as multi-functional seats.
Everything looks very expensive (as, actually, there is in fact) - Nappa-leather, high-quality wood and chrome were used in the decoration, exquisitely emphasizing the wealth and luxury of the cabin. By the way, many believe like this: what looks beautiful, convenient and practical can not be. In this case, everything is not the case - the new "Mercedes-Maybach" refutes it. The first thing the developers thought about the comfort of their customers. Simply not every manufacturer is able to successfully combine quality and practicality with beauty and aesthetics. But only not "Mercedes" - and all connoisseurs of this German brand, this truth is well known.
Driver Comfort
A man who once sees behind the wheel of such a car as "Mercedes-Maybach" W222 S600, whose photo shows us luxurious - no longer wants to get up because of it. The driver of this handsome really has everything that only needs - improved which is very easy to use, the minimum number of buttons on the main console, a wide screen of a modern side computer, as well as a stylish multimedia system. However, this is not all the amenities offered by the driver. It is also worth noting the attention of climate-system deflectors, made in a comfortable armrest and, finally, just an incredible value of the tunnel, which separates the front passenger from the driver.
This is just a minimum of what needs to pay attention to. It is impossible to describe the magnificence of the interior performance. Of course, there is no limit to perfection, but it is unlikely that there is a car, which looks more luxurious from the inside than "Mercedes-Maybach W222 S600". This photo is proved. And all this is done not just for the sake of beauty, but also for convenience - this is the most valuable.
Cost
Of course, it is worth understanding that "Mercedes-Maybach" is the cheapest pleasure. Such a car shows the status of its owner, demonstrates his shared taste and, of course, condition. Mercedes Maybach S600 is offered to Russians for 12 million rubles. If you want to purchase another version, S500, then you will not need to pay such an amount - it is selling cheaper, for eight million. By the way, the manufacturer initially suggested that the improved car will be sold at a price, twice as large than the one installed on the original sedan.
Many people believe that if the car is powerful and expensive, then it will have to spend a lot of money in terms of service and refueling. First, I would like to say that a person who allowed the car more than ten million rubles, it is hardly thinking about it. And secondly - in this case, these stereotypes are easily refuted. The average fuel consumption of this car is less than nine liters per 100 kilometers! This is in the S600 version. If you buy S500, you will need to spend more on gasoline - here the indicator is 11.7 liters on the "hundred".
Equipment
Mercedes-Maybach, whose photo allow you to make sure that this is really a practically perfect car - one of the best projects of the world-famous concern. What can be said about his configuration? Mostly you need to ask - is it worthwhile to ask in general issues? As an equipping, the manufacturer offers everything that only can be recreated in the modern luxury sedan. Such a car will be very long to look for decent competitors. This could be called an excessive praise if it were not a statement of an obvious fact. The very name of Mercedes-Benz Maybach speaks for himself. Who is who, but knows a lot of expensive and exclusive machines. They gave us powerful AMG, super fast SLS, legendary W124. Now in the ranks of the masterpiece creations of this automotive manufacturer, there are also "Mercedes-Maybach".

Maybach - German Car Mark in the Daimlerchrysler concern. Looks luxurious executive exclusive cars.
The history of the brand began in 1921, when the talented designer Wilhelm Maibach (Wilhelm Maybach) designed its first car model W-3. This model was equipped with a 6-cylinder engine with a volume of 5.7 liters. And he became the first German serial car that had brakes on all wheels. The following model W-5, published in 1926, was already equipped with an engine with a volume of 7.0 liters, which allowed her to reach a speed of 121 km / h.
In the spring of 1929, barely celebrated Easter in the Banstatt, Wilhelm Maybach suddenly fell ill and died in two days. The company was headed by his son Karl Maybach.
Karl decided to replace the 6-cylinder engine on V12 with a working volume of 6922 cm3. For the first time it was installed on the "DS-7" model.
A year later, in the middle of 1930, her heir was presented, which received the prestigious name "Zeppelin" (Zeppelin). It was the most luxurious and at the time of the technically perfect German car of the 30s of the last century. In those year, the design elements of the car were created taking into account the individual needs of the customer, so there were no identical cars. The model was equipped with a V12 engine with a volume of 8.0 liters. (200 hp) and a 5-speed gearbox, which in 1938 was replaced with 7-speed. She went on sale in 1931 with a cost of 29,500 Reichsmarock. Release volume: 183 cars.
W6 was produced from 1931 to 1933 with a six-cylinder engine from W 5. From 1934, it also supplied with Twin Overdrive Transmissia (W 6 DSG). Both variants have a longer wheelbase compared to W 5. Release volume: 90 cars.
The inexpensive DSH model ("Doppel-Sechs-Halbe" - "half of the twelve cylinders") was produced from 1930 to 1937. It was equipped with a 5.2-liter six-cylinder engine with a capacity of 130 hp. Release volume: 34 cars. Some variants of models of this type have been supplied with new aerodynamic bodies, which later used for the SW series, manufactured in the period 1935-1941. It included the models "SW-35", "SW-38" and "SW-42" with motors of a working volume of 3.5; 3.8 and 4.2 liters, respectively. These were the last built MAYBACH models.
Between 1921 and 1941, Maybach-Motorenbau released about 1,800 luxurious cars. In addition to the produced machines that were introduced into the factory statistics, 5 to 10 cars for exhibitions were built annually. All cars were very expensive, and among them there were no two completely identical instances. Today, there are still 152 pre-war MAYBACH car.
During the war years, Maybach produced exclusively tank engines (about 140 thousand pieces). After the war, Karl Maybach worked in captivity from the French, developing aircraft engines. In the 50s, he again led his company that produced various stationary, ship and railway engines.
In 1961, the rights to Maybach acquired Daimler Benz, which in the late 90s decides to revive the forgotten brand. Thus, after 60 years of non-existence, the legendary brand is experiencing a second birth.
In 1997, Mercedes-Benz showed the guicert-car of Maybach, the main ideas of which were embodied in the serial models of 2002. We remembered the name of Maybach thanks to Daymlerchrysler, which releases the most luxurious sedan in the world - Mercedes-Benz Maybach - a car, clearly demonstrating the latest achievements in the convenience of control, automotive aesthetics and technology.
The dual name of the car Mercedes-Benz Maybach was not accidentally. This is the traditional superiority of the "car with a three-beam star", and tribute to the genius of automotive design Wilhelm Maybah, who developed the first cars Daimler and whose name was the most chic limousine of Germany of the 1930s - the legendary Maybach.
The new creation of the Daimlerchrysler concern exists in two versions - standard MAUBACH 57 long 5.72 meters and elongated to 6.16 meters Maubach 62. Both models are equipped with a MAYBACH Type 12 engine (405 kW / 550 hp), which is controlled by a microcomputer and a microcomputer and Made of aluminum and magnesium alloys. Working volume - 5.5 l, torque 900 nm.
The Maybach car is equipped with all imaging electronics and simply abounds with technical innovations. Beautiful shapes, luxurious design, Maybach with dignity defends a luxury car brand. As they say about the new car, representatives of the company Daimlerchrysler Group, MAYBACH name itself sounds majestically and a new car should become one of the best representative cars. Maximum individuality, stylistic elegance, exclusivity and comfort - here are the characteristics of Maybach.
Plants in Germany and the United States are engaged in the production of cars, the reception of orders for cars occurs in specialized Maybach centers located worldwide. Maintenance and repair of cars will produce about 50 specialized service centers. MAYBACH cars have a four-year warranty, including free repair and free maintenance. Factory prices on the models are: 310 thousand euros for Maabach 57 and 360 thousand euros for Maubach 62.
Maybach not for everyone. ... and will never be publicly available. Maybach is an exclusive, the demand for such cars has always gualed offered.
Wilhelm Maybach is a German entrepreneur and autoconstructor. At the post of Society "Motors Daimler" there was a significant contribution to the creation of the first modern machine. The car "Maybach" is now one of the best in the world. In this article we will present a brief biography of the inventor.
Childhood
Wilhelm Maybach was born in Hailbronne (Germany) in 1846. The boy's father was a joiner. It so happened that at the achievement of the ten-year-old age, Wilhelm became round orphan. He was taken to upbringing the house of Pastor Werner. When Maybahu turned fifteen, he began to receive technical education in Reutlingen in a machine-building plant. In the afternoon, the boy was practiced in the workshop of the plant, and in the evening she took the lessons of drawing and mathematics in the city school. Also, the future German autoconstructor began to english English and studied three volumes of the textbook "Technical Mechanics", written by Julius Weisbach. The purposefulness and perseverance of a young man were soon seen.
Work
In 1863 came to the post of technical director of the Roitlingen Plant. There he met Wilhelm. Three years later, Gottlib moved to the same post to the firm "Doyz", which produced stationary motors of internal combustion. She was headed by E. Langen and N. A. Otto. In 1869, Daimler remembered the workable, talented worker and invited Maybah to himself in Karlsruhe. During the meeting, they discussed the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a new engine, which was supposed to become more compact and lig. Langen approved this project, but Otto responded. Many years later (in 1907), "Doyz" still starts the construction of cars - first passenger, and then buses, tractors and trucks, but the PIONERs of the OBS will no longer be in the company.
His work
Not finding an understanding at the head of the company, Daimler opened his own company in Bad Cannstadt. Naturally, Gottlib persuaded Wilhelm to go with him. In 1882 their own company was founded. Maybach was exclusively technical design.
First inventions
In August 1883, Wilhelm Maybach released a stationary motor of his own design. The engine weighed 40 kilograms and worked exclusively on the light gas. At the end of the same year its next version of 1.6 hp appeared. and the volume of 1.4 liters. Along the way, Maybach designed a new ignition system. In those days, in stationary engines, the mixture has occurred by an open flame. Wilhelm came up with an incandescent tube, heated by a dust burner. And the process was controlled by a special valve in the combustion chamber, which, if necessary, opened either closed. Such a system ensured stable operation even on small revs.
The pursuit of excellence
This was exactly the difference from other Wilhelm Maybach. From the beginning of its activities, he sought to upgrade any design and used new patents. At the end of 1883, test tests took another single engine - a single-cylinder air cooling motor, which, at 600 revolutions, developed 0.25 hp. Improved option (246 cubic centimeters and 0.5 hp) developed a year. Maybach himself dubbed him with "outdoor clock", because the shape of the motor was rather unusual. After a few decades, the historians of the technique will celebrate that Wilhelm achieved not only a reduction in the weight of the engine. He gave him an external grace.
Hansom cab
Soon Wilhelm developed an evaporative carburetor. It was the breakthrough in the field of internal combustion system, since now instead of the light gas, liquid fuel could be used. And in 1885, a revolutionary event occurred in the technique - the Maybach engine led a two-wheeled crew in motion. Motor bike (or, as they say now, a motorcycle) had a pair of miniature wheels on the sides to preserve stability. Engine with a capacity of 0.5 hp Constantly rotated, and two-stage gave the opportunity to develop speed up to 6 or 12 kilometers per hour. The founder of Maybach conducted a test at the beginning of November 1885, together with his son Carl.
Of course, not everything went smoothly. A year later, Wilhelm improved the motor, increasing the course and diameter of the piston. The engine volume increased to 1.35 liters, but when testing it was constantly overheated. The use of water cooling device has not corrected the situation. Therefore, it was necessary to refuse the invention.
New engine
Next, Wilhelm engaged in the development of a motor for the world's first four-wheel car with a volume of 0.462 liters. Since Maybach and Daimler were very hurried with the release, the engine was installed on the equestrian crew. In March 1887, the first tests were held. A month later, a motorboat with this engine appeared near the lake near Bad Cannesstadt. The results of all tests of Wilhelm collected carefully and systematized, realizing their importance for future experiments.
Building a new car
In 1889, Daimler planned participation in the World Paris Exhibition. Wilhelm Maybach, quotes and notes on whose activities were often published in the media, decided to build a new car for this event. And she impressed everyone! The first V-shaped two-cylinder engine with an angle of collapse of 17 ° was supplied to the "Daimler-Staldvagen" in the world. With 900 revolutions per minute, the engine developed 1.6 hp And instead of the former belt, the wheels launched a gear. In fact, the author has developed a conceptual design. Nevertheless, she had commercial success. The construction of the car was engaged in the NSU bicycle plant. His owners Emil Levassor and Arman Peugeot bought a patent for transmission and engine. At the same time, under the terms of the contract, they were obliged to produce motors under the Daimler brand.
Gottlyb money received for the patent has invested in the creation of a separate workshop for Maybah. Thanks to this, research was carried out quite actively, and all friction with the shareholders of the company against the background of promising developments were smoothed.
New inventions of Wilhelm Maybach
In 1893, the hero of this article developed a spray carburetor with a syringe type. After a year, Maybach received a patent for a device of hydraulic brakes. And in 1895 his famous two-cylinder row motor "Phoenix" appeared. Initially, at 750 revolutions, he developed 2.5 hp. Gradually, the design was improved, and in 1896 the capacity increased to 5 hp. Motor indicators allowed to improve the radiator of the new original design. Three years later, a four-cylinder "Phoenix" with a capacity of 23 hp was released. and the volume of 5900 cm 3. The motor was installed on the car created by order of Emille Erily (Ambassador to Nice from the Austro-Hungarian Empire). In March 1899, he won on this car in mountain races. Enerlink performed under the pseudonym "Mercedes" (the name of his daughter). Soon it will be the brand of the Daimler plant.
Changes
In 1900, Gottlib died, and the position of Wilhelm was very worse. Maybach, who was completely laid out at work and lost part of the health, was forced to write the head of the firm of petitions about the comprehension. But they remained unanswered. It is not surprising, because the new leadership of the company remembered that Wilhelm always held the side of the Daimler in disputes with them.
Meanwhile, the process of development of the technique continued. In 1902, "Simplex" came to the change of "Phoenix", produced under the Mercedes brand. The four-cylinder engine with a volume of 5320 cm 3 at 1100 revolutions a moment developed a power of 32 hp. Then "Mercedes" with a motor 6550 cm 3 appeared, and for the racing "Gordon-Bennet", a car with a four-cylinder engine at 60 hp. With 1000 revolutions per minute.
"Zeppelin"
In 1907, Maybach left the firm whose fame held exclusively on its performance and talent. After this designer fascinated the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating motors for airspelin airsple known at the time. In 1908, Count Ferdinand tried to sell the LZ3 and LZ4 Government models. But the latter suffered a crash. LZ4 engines simply did not cope with the load during emergency landing. Nevertheless, the production of airships did not stop. The main task of the hero of this article was the improvement of engines.
Having received the support of the Count Ferdinand, Wilhelm, together with his son, opened the company "Maybach Motorenbau". The company actually led Karl, and his father became a leading consultant. During the 1st World War, they sold about 2,000 aircraft engines. In 1916, the Technical University of Studgart assigned to Wilhelm to Maybahu doctoral degree.
Maibah cars
In 1919, after the end of the war, the Versailles Agreement was signed. It prohibited the production of airships in Germany. Thus, Maybach was forced to return to the creation of gasoline engines for machines, as well as diesel engines for trains and navy ships.
In Germany, the crisis has come. Many automotive companies due to lack of funds could not afford the engines of third-party manufacturers and were engaged in the development of their own. Only the Dutch company "Spyker" agreed to cooperate with Maybah. But the terms of the contract were so disadvantageous that Wilhelm rejected it four times. As a result, the inventor decided to engage in the production of own cars. In 1921, the first Limousines "Maybach" were released.
The autoconstructor worked almost before old age and did not want to leave for a long time. The German engineer died at the end of 1929 and was buried at the Waff Kirchhof cemetery next to the daimler.
Heritage
Wilhelm Maybach, whose biography was presented above, one of the first realized that the car was not just a wagon with the engine. Huge design experience and engineering talent allowed the German to consider the car as a complex of all its components. Wilhelm believed that it was from such a position that it was necessary to approach design. And now, in assessing the convenience and functionality of the cars, named after his last name (for example, Maybach Exelero), you can see the correct concept of a German engineer.
Lately, Maybaha called the "king of designers". And in 1922, the "society of German engineers" assigned him the title "Designer-pioneer". That is exactly what he was. A year earlier, when a seventieth-year-old Maybach no longer worked, the first car MAYBACH brand was built on the Friedrichshafen Plant. At the moment, the line of models of the legendary brand expanded significantly. The most expensive car is the price of which comes to 8 million dollars.
In 1909, MAYBACH was founded, which gave his name a well-known engineer and designer Wilhelm Maybach, who previously worked in the "Daimler" concern, but who left it after the conflict in 1907. However, the new company Wilhelm and his son Karl from the moment of its foundation and until the end of the First World War engaged in the creation of aviation power aggregates, cooperating with the column of the chapel and the German armed forces.
The turning point came in 1918, when, according to the results of the war, the production of any military and aviation equipment on the territory of Germany was prohibited. However, Maybach did not renew the work of his company, having committed his son to find buyers to all production facilities of the company. But luck again found Maybahov, this time in the face of the Dutch firm Spiker, which ordered at the father and son 1000 automotive power units.
The engine for the spiker was a 5.7-liter six-cynotine motor with a capacity of 70 horsepower. In the first year, 150 copies of the W2 engine were produced, but in the period from 1921 to 1925, production decreased to 50 copies per year, due to the exacerbated economic situation of the Dutch company, which declared itself bankrupt at the end of 1925. Since then, Wilhelm Maybach has decided to produce cars independently.
The first model of Maybach W3 was presented in 1921, won the reward for the original design, and under the hood of the model, the W2 engine is located, with the same 5.7 liters as for the Spiker brand. However, the capacity was increased to 90 horsepower. The following was followed by experiments with the installation of aviation motors on the standard chassismercedes belonging to Karl Maybah, but the project was quickly minimized.
The following MAYBACH W5 model was presented in 1926, as in the case of the first model, the body design developed a famous designer Herman spon. Under the hood, the model W5 is located one of the most powerful power units of that time of seven liter motor with a capacity of 120 horsepower. However, the gearbox left to desire the best, and in 1928 the model was updated, called Maybach W5 SG, where the transmission box with accelerating transmission was presented. However, when maintaining the other technical characteristics, buyers of the new model could choose the specifications personally for themselves, which significantly increased the price of the car. In the same year, exclusive modifications with motors in 90 and 100 horsepower were presented, which were supplied for modifications with a body coupe and a convertible.
In 1929, the Maibach 12 model was presented, equipped with the same seven liter engine, but already with a capacity of 150 horsepower. Due to the increase in power, the mass of the car was significantly increased, which did not prevent the 12th model to become the leader of its class. In addition, the production of the DS8 modification began in 1930, which was equipped with a 8-liter twelve-cylinder power unit with a capacity of 200 horsepower. The car was devoted to Wilhelm Maibah, who died in 1929.
During the reign of the Third Reich, Maibach became a monopolist in the production of engines for tanks, trains and ships. However, such a high position was not explained by the fact that Karl Maybach's products were the best, but by the fact that he had friendly relations with the entire ruling tip of Reich, including Adolf Hitler, who in every way I was in the direction of Karl.
By the time of the bombing of the American aircraft of the Maibach plants, the company's products were installed on 95% of tanks and artillery tractors, but due to increased demand, there have had a number of shortcomings and technical miscalculations, which led to the conflict of Karl Maybach with Borman. After the destruction of the plant, Karl Maybach was declared the enemy of the nation and together with the engineers of the once largest automotive company in Germany, was expelled from the country. France became a new refuge, where, until 1951, Karl tried to improve the production of cars together with a long-time partner of German spona, but many technical disadvantages did not allow to begin mass production of new models of the brand. At the same time, Karl Maybach successfully worked for the French government, creating a whole range of powerful engines for the needs of the army.
In 1955, work began on the creation of a "Maybach" car, made in the American style, but the car did not like the Carl himself and the hope of reviving the production was left. Karl Maybach died in 1960, and the concern "Daimler" became the new owner of the destroyed factories of the company in Germany and the engineering bureau in France. The leadership of Daimler decided to rename the company "Maybach" and continue the production of power units at the facilities of the former competitor, so MTU was registered.
In 1997, the leadership of the Daimler concern decided to revive the legendary brand, presenting the conceptual MAYBACH model at the Tokyo Motor Show, designed to install on a new generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The Maibach plants entered the full cycle of production of a new car model only in 2002, after more than five years of work on the creation of a competitive premium car. MAYBACH 57 model was built on the basis of a full-sized Mercedes-Benz S-Class W140 sedan. Under the hood is located 5.7-liter power unit with a capacity of 555 horsepower, and the interior decoration was created exclusively from natural materials.
In the same year, the extended version of this model was presented, called the nameMaybach 62, equipped with a seven liter power unit with a capacity of 630 horsepower. One of its main differences was the presence of more than one million parameters for configuring the personal comfort of the rear passengers. Both models were made manually.
In 2005, the Maybach Exelero model was presented, released in a single copy for the bus company "Fuda", which used this car to test new types of tires. However, later this model was oversold by the buyer from the United States of America for a record $ 8 million. In 2006, the second generation of 57 and 62 models were presented, which received more powerful power units from "Mercedes-Benz AMG", but underwent critics, due to the lack of significant improvements that have influenced the price increased by 10% compared with 2005. In 2009, cars were updated again, due to which the power of the motors increased to 640 horsepower, and in two years the armored versions57s and 62s were presented.
However, the leadership of the "Daimler" concern was not satisfied with the low sales of exclusive cars of the Maibach brand, as well as did not want to invest serious amounts in the modernization of production facilities in order to reduce the assembly term of one car from 60 days to 20. Thus, just who has just moved from The consequences of the World Financial Crisis Concern "Daimler" proposed, in the person of the Director General of Dieter Century, the company's shareholders two ways to solve the problem - to fully collapse the activities of "Maybach" or proceed to the production of car brands in the Commonwealth with another company that the English "Aston was supposed to be Martin". However, the deal was broken, even though the British company engineers prepared the concept of creating a second generation of Maibach models.
In the same year, an official statement was made on the soon closure of the company "Maybach". The reason for this was the inability to make decent competition between Bentley Motors and Rolls-Royce. Thus, in 2013, the sale of all warehouse instances of models 57 and 62 of various modifications at a discount of 30% was opened. And on December 1, 2012, a new price list was distributed for Daimler car dealers, where Maibach models were labeled as removed from production. However, the design headquarters of the company was not disbanded, and moved to Mercedes-Benz, where he began working on the new generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class. However, even after the official closure of the company "Maybach", cars with this name continue to be issued. In early 2015, a luxurious Mercedes-Maybach S-class was presented, the design of which completely repeats the company's traditions, despite the fact that the work of Mercedes.
