57S 2012 for sale

The "S" in the designation of the 57 S model, which has enriched the range since 2005, stands for "Special" and indicates that Maybach has fulfilled many wishes of its demanding customers in the 57 S. In particular, discerning customers with a passion for driving, who wish to personally drive their Maybach, have requested a symbiosis between luxurious comfort and sporty temperament. The 6.0-liter V12 biturbo engine with 450 kW/612 hp and a rigidly tuned chassis combine luxury and driving dynamics at the highest level in the Maybach 57 S, making it a high-end luxury limousine for ambitious drivers who expect high-performance technology in a perfection typical of the brand. The Maybach 57 S offers performance in a new dimension: to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h takes only 5.0 seconds, from zero to 200 km/h the Maybach 57 S takes only 15.8 seconds, making it one of the most sporty luxury limousines in the world. The transition from 80 to 120 km/h, crucial for many overtakes, is completed by the driver of this high-end luxury limousine effortlessly in 3.7 seconds - just over the blink of an eye. The top speed is 275 km/h. To harmoniously and safely transfer the impressive performance potential of the 57 S onto the road, Maybach engineers have adapted the chassis with numerous measures to accommodate the increase in power. The result is tangible: despite its weight and dimensions, the luxury limousine appears agile and dynamic, steers precisely and quickly in curves, and supports the driver with a neutral and safe driving behavior. The Maybach 57 S surprisingly offers a lot of driving pleasure on the winding country roads and mountainous routes. To achieve this dynamic and active character, Maybach developers have retuned the stabilizers on the front and rear axles. At the front, a thicker anti-roll bar of two millimeters now works, at the rear four millimeters. These give the vehicle a sportier balance with greater support on the rear axle. This reduces the roll angle by about 15% and thus also the lateral inclination of the limousine during fast cornering. At the same time, it improves handling and increases cornering propensity. In addition, the driving dynamics benefit from the lowering of the chassis by 15 millimeters. Both measures together lead to a significant improvement in road contact - in other words: the Maybach 57 S sticks firmly to the road. A firmer tuning of the adaptive damping system ADS II and the semi-active air suspension calms the structure more quickly in case of vibrations and emphasizes the sporty character. If the driver also selects via the switch in the center console, by pressing a button, the sport level among the three available suspension settings, the suspension and damping become even stiffer and sportier. But even in the normal position, the new Maybach 57 S offers dynamic handling oriented towards driving pleasure without compromising comfort. The modified chassis components also allow for a sportier tuning of ESP and ASR and enable higher lateral accelerations. The braking system has been further optimized in terms of ventilation. Thanks to air deflectors at the bottom in the front axle area and the eleven-spoke design of the wheels with high permeability, more fresh air reaches the brakes. This ensures greater capacity and stability in all driving situations and under all operating conditions. These measures ensure an optimal level of active safety in the Maybach 57 S. Externally, the Maybach 57 S is characterized by a powerful radiator design with robust and spaced double slats and a redesigned light unit and rear. The sporty appearance of the Maybach 57 S reflects the harmonious image of an exclusive luxury limousine that combines the highest quality and technical perfection with additional temperament and impressive driving performance.
