Few will have heard of Maybach.
Maybach is a name that won't gain the almost instant recognition that other super-luxury cars such as Rolls-Royce and Bentley have. However, this sister-company to Mercedes-Benz has just as much heritage of building bespoke cars for the wealthy. Between 1921 and 1941 a handful of exclusive Maybach cars were produced to meet the needs of their elite group of clients. In 2002 DaimlerChrysler resurrected the Maybach brand for a range of hand-built luxury saloons. While the proportions may be similar to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the Maybach is a completely different proposition. Two versions are available: the 57 and the 62. Maybachs are named after their lengths (the 62 is just under 6.2m long), and customers may be familiar with this if they already own a luxury yacht, which is likely. The 62 is available with either a 5.5-litre twin-turbo V12 engine, and since February 2007 a twin-turbo V12 built by DaimlerChrysler's high-performance AMG division, aimed at owners who really enjoy driving. Customers can choose a broad range of options to individualise their Maybach and the car is built to the highest standards.
