The Maybach 57 and 62 were the first automobile models of the Maybach brand since the brand's revival by DaimlerChrysler. They are derived from the Mercedes-Benz Maybach concept car presented at the 1997 Tokyo Motorshow (which was based on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan).

DaimlerChrysler attempted to buy the Rolls-Royce/Bentley marque when Vickers offered the company up for sale. When this attempt failed (they were outbid by BMW and Volkswagen respectively) they introduced the Maybach as a direct challenger in 2002. Both models are variants of the same ultra-luxurious automobile. The model numbers reflect the respective lengths of the automobiles in decimetres; the 57 is more likely to be owner-driven while the longer 62 is designed with a chauffeur in mind. The engine is a Mercedes-sourced 5.5-liter twin-turbo V12, generating 550 hp. The prices range from US$305,000 to $357,000 (£240,000 to £250,000)—priced to directly compete with top-of-the-line Bentley and Rolls-Royce automobiles.

As of 2004, only 600 units had been sold. DaimlerChrysler projects that they may sell less than the 1,000 units expected. Just 152 Maybachs were sold in the United States in 2005, with worldwide production down to 300 units.

As of 2005 there is talk of a smaller, cheaper Maybach 51, although this has not been confirmed by Maybach.

Recent Changes

  • At the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, Maybach unveiled a pair of 100 unit special edition models of both the 57 and 62 called the Zeppelin. In the late 20's and early 30's, the Zeppelin nameplate denoted the cream of the crop of Maybach's lineup, in homage to Wilhelm Maybach's work developing the V12 engines that powered the eponymous airships. 81 years later, the Zeppelin name means access to a 6.0L twin turbo V12 producing 640hp (471kW) and 738lb-ft (1,000Nm) of torque and luxury never before experienced in a land-based vehicle save for, perhaps, the Blue Train. The entire interior is decadently attired in 'California beige' leather with 'Stromboli black' contrast stitching and piano black highlights. Special accessories include silver champagne glasses engraved with the Zeppelin logo and an acrylic ball that dispenses a bespoke fragrance through the cabin at the push of a button. A choice of two fragrances are available from the factory, one described as 'light and refreshing', another as 'woody'. Custom scents can also be had, at a cost of €3,950 ($5,100) plus taxes. Outside, the Zeppelins will be distinguishable by a unique two-tone livery composed of ‘Rocky Mountains’ light brown and ‘Taiga black’, restlyed side mirrors and 20in wheels in a dark chrome finish. As you might imagine, luxury like this doesn't come cheap and evidence for this can be found on the bill: €406,000 ($524,000) for the 57 and €473,200 ($610,000) for the 62. [1]

Maybach 57 S

Brabus Maybach 57

Legendary tuning firm Brabus, famous for high-performance and stylistic aftermarket modifications to Mercedes-Benz and Smart automobiles, produced a version of the 57/62 in 2004 which adds significant performance, features and style to the models. Electronically limited to a 300 km/h speed limit, these large vehicles produce a staggering 1026 N·m of torque and accelerate from standstill to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds.

This makes the Brabus Maybach arguably the fastest super-luxury motorcar in the world, a trend which was started in 1968 by the Mercedes-Benz 300SEL 6.3.
