The revived brand's new dawn commenced in 2002 with the launch of the Maybach 57 and 62: a brace of high-performance luxury saloons that, inevitably, incorporated a good deal of contemporary Mercedes-Benz technology. The model designations were derived from their approximate lengths: 5.7 metres in the former's case and 6.2 metres in the latter's, and both were powered initially by a 5.5-litre 542bhp twin-turbocharged V12 engine. The 57 was intended for the owner/driver, while the longer 62 was aimed at the chauffeur-driven elite.
An enhanced version of the 62 - the 62 S, for 'Special' - was introduced for 2007 and featured the 6.0-litre, 604bhp V12 from the 57 S. Costing an additional £40,000-plus, the 60-or-so extra horsepower had little effect on performance, shaving a fraction of a second from the 0-100km/h time while the top speed remained limited to 275km/h. A base price of around £360,000 ensured that only a privileged few would get to experience the 62 S's stupendous performance at first hand.
Autocar
magazine hailed the Maybach 62 S as "an even more incredible – and incredibly expensive – place from which to command your business empire".
Unfortunately for Daimler AG (as the group had become), Maybach failed to establish the kind of brand identity enjoyed by its parent Mercedes or the Rolls-Royce and Bentley opposition. Sales were disappointing and in August 2012 Maybach was discontinued, only to be revived again as a sub-brand of Mercedes in November 2014.
The beautiful Maybach 62 S we offer was delivered new to the UAE in 2012 and subsequently returned to the EU, forming part of an important collection in the Netherlands. Boasting Mercedes-Benz's sybaritic Maybach Manufaktur interior and a wonderful panoramic glass sunroof, the car is finished in brilliant off-white, making it ideally suitable for use in countries blessed with a predominantly sunny climate. Currently showing just over 13,000 kilometres on the odometer, this lovely example comes complete with an old German TüV; numerous invoices for work carried out; a professionally compiled insurance valuation report (2022); and all its original books.
