2008 Maybach 57 Features Revealed
DaimlerChrysler revealed the Maybach 57 S at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show. The North American unveiling was at the Los Angeles Auto Show in January 2006.
It is a four-door sedan with rear-wheel drive. It comes in two trims: base and S. The base model is equipped with a 6.0 -liter V12 engine capable of 550 horsepower and 664 lb.-ft. of torque. The S model, introduced last year, is powered by a 6.0-liter V12 engine, capable of 612 horsepower and 738 lb.-ft. of torque. That’s a lot of power but it still got its increase in horsepower for the year 2008.
Exterior features of the 57 S include 20-inch spoked wheels, single tone paint in black or silver, modified rear apron, trapezoidal tailpipes. The body’s paint finish comes in 17 color choices, which you can combine with the different wheel color tone according to your choice.
Reviewers are impressed with the Maybach 57's refined interior appointments. Standard interior features include a DVD player, TV receiver, a refrigerated compartment, a cordless phone system, distronic radar-based active cruise control, keyless-go, and ventilated seats.
Latest automobile technologies were mostly installed in this new Maybach including features from parent company Mercedes Benz. These are: electrohydraulic braking system Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC), Linguitronic voice control, operating and display system Command APS, and the automatic emergency call system.
