Mercedes-Maybach S600 to Bow at LA Auto Show
Mercedes will officially debut its new ultra luxury sub-brand next week in conjunction with the L.A. Auto Show.
Next week the German luxury auto maker will unveil its new Mercedes-Maybach S600 as an answer to ultra-luxury sedans from Bentley and Rolls-Royce. The photo above is the first official image of its interior.
The Mercedes-Maybach products will reach for even finer levels of luxury than the Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan and coupe currently do. Powertrain details weren’t announced today, but the company says its new ultra-luxury sedan will set itself apart in the lineup with more interior space, specifically designed seats and interior materials that are more exclusive than what a normal S-Class is available with including “extensive scope for individualization” that will likely try to compete with the bespoke programs Bentley and Rolls-Royce offer.
Mercedes also hinted at more Mercedes-Maybach branded models to come, saying that the sub-brand is more than an equipment line and that it will offer Mercedes-Benz vehicles revised to be more exclusive in the future.
