Mercedes-Benz’s Parent Company Nearing a Decision on the Fate of Maybach

It’s no secret that for quite some time now, Mercedes-Benz’s parent company Daimler has just about had it with Maybach and is looking to either shut down the über luxury car brand and call it a day or partner up with British sports carmaker Aston Martin on the development of a new model.
According to a report from Autoweek, the time has come for the German carmaker to make a final decision with the fate of Maybach to be decided by July 1. At a recent press event in Stuttgart, Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche told journalist that "there is a higher likelihood to come to a positive decision" for Maybach if the company can find a partner.

2011 Maybach 57S Coupe by Xenatec : Official and imposing

Basically a Maybach 57S, which lost two rear doors that the flag is lowered to 9 cm, who is endowed with frameless doors but also a new front bumper to the sportier look, a new rear bumper with an integrated diffuser and two beautiful tailpipes which should allow the 612 hp V12 engine to breathe. In the end, side body there remains much in common with the bourgeois 4-door version as engineers Xenatec maybach and actually fell off the middle of 20 cm to facilitate access to rear seats.
This large cut of 5.70 m long rests on a new 20-inch alloy wheels (21 option) and gives a modern look by adopting LED daytime running the front but also in the light of taillights.

Of course like all Maybach, finish and equipment are royal and can of course be customized on request. Thus the body will not necessarily bicolor and may therefore decline in monochrome.

Under the hood, we find the 6.0 L V12 612 hp and 1000 Nm of torque with BVA5 but in a runaway because the coupe looks 275 km / h and shoots the 0-100km / h in just 5.0 seconds which is for a cut of about 2662 kg. It is rumored that upon request and finance, we could get the version of the engine 640 hp 6.0 L of the Zeppelin. Should the 612 horses would be a fair bit.

A coupe is a timely boost for Maybach in which we only speak when restyling of March and seems to fall asleep if there is nothing to shake the very brand of luxury Mercedes. This coupe will be produced in 100 copies and is intended primarily to markets in Asia, the Middle East and Russia, which does not we can order such a car in western Europe or the USA. Finally be aware that this cut is announced and costs, no real friend of 650,000 € HT is around € 777,500 Taxes on the French market. First deliveries later in the year 2011.
