These are the voyages of the Star Ship Mercedes Maybach S 600, the ultra luxury Mercedes your life has been waiting for. Mercedes only revealed the interior and a badge with these two teaser photo’s, which has led many to speculate the Maybach S 600 is all about the opulence. And the badge. The Maybach S600 is in fact or rather will be a stretched version of the current generation Mercedes S Class and is destined to debut at the LA Auto show and China’s Guangzhou auto show next week. The Maybach S 600 looks to be at least fittingly luxurious in a way the standard S Class isn’t, this car is aimed primarily at the Chinese market where the great and the good like extra leg room according to market research. The Maybach super luxury brand was founded in 1909, Mercedes purchased the company in 1960 making special editions but production stuttered and petered out after a few years. Fast forward to 1997 and the brand was resurrected by Mercedes in 2002 (below image) with a specially designated model, which used switches and dials from a not so super luxury A Class. Fast forward too 2012 and the last Maybach rolled off the production line on 7th December 2012 with the remaining models, costing up to £300k each, expected to sell out by 2013 after which the Maybach brand ceased to exist. Fast forward to 2014 and the name, or a least a badge bearing the name Maybach, has been brought back to live another day on the backside of a strecthed, latest generation S Class. No details of the S 600 Maybach have been revealed, a twin-turbo V8 and V10 Hybrid are expected to make an appearance on the options list. And if they make a diesel version, we will shoot our self’s in the foot. Price? the S Class badge just got a whole lot more expensive.
