I start by explaining that Maybach is not just another brand, Maybach is the ultimate exponent of German luxury: it produces the most luxurious cars that money can buy.
Going straight to the heart of the matter, to get the “cheapest” and least “potent” Maybach (the Maybach 57) you only need 450,000 euros. Like? No? The problem is the price? Then we also have the 62S, the king of the brand, for a modest sum of 600 thousand euros. What about? What? Would you rather buy a house with this money? So let me convince you. On a visit to Germany, I had the pleasure of driving and being driven in a Maybach 57S, the smallest and most powerful, with 5.7 meters long, V12 engine with 620 hp and 1000 Nm of torque. Yes I know, it's just brutal!
The interior is lined with the highest quality beige skin, skins that come from cows that graze in areas without barbed wire or mosquitoes, ie cows with immaculate skin. At the rear, two reclining chairs with footrests, heated and with massage – the perfect place to calmly govern a country – and at the same time you can be caressed by beautiful melodies coming from the BOSE sound system. This Maybach 57S also has a screen per person, telephone and a fridge, which at the beginning of the trip had two bottles of champagne with two glasses and two flutes, all in silver.
The trip started to fly, I felt at home, there wasn't any parasitic noise, even on the 260 km/h autobahn, which seemed to have stopped. It was only by looking through the window or at the pressure gauge located on the ceiling that we knew it was not safe to open the door. The power that this car gives us is absolutely brutal, so brutal that when I was handed the key, the price of fuel went down (but only in my mind). This feat is not for everyone, but if you have a Maybach parked in the garage, repeat this gesture over and over again, you'll see that it works…
Ignition key and V12 idling, I start asking the gods to protect me even from scratching the millionaire paint. I hear a husky German voice ordering me to calmly take off. And I'm led by my human GPS to a winding road outside Frankfurt, ideal place to test the tank's dynamics, almost 3 tons of pure comfort and performance.
When you squeezed him through the tightest corners, the driving aid systems did their job, keeping him steady and the champagne in the glasses. You don't notice any irregularities on the road, the suspension is incredible, a marvel of technology. But of course, if you take it to inappropriate areas – like potato fields – you might get sick in your spine. And he prays that the owner of the field is not there.
In conclusion, who needs a house when you have all this luxury in a car? But I advise you to have a good working capital, because this boy drinks 21 liters per 100 km. So cute and so drunk… This car is powerful, discreet and full of features. Whether it's an executive or a driving lover, there's no way to dislike it.
Are you convinced and interested? So you know that you're too late… You can't buy any Maybachs anymore, because unfortunately, Mercedes lost money to Maybach due to poor sales, and in June it ceased production. Let's face it, there aren't that many billionaires wanting to live in a car either.
