The Appeal

Sitting at the top of the luxury automotive tree, the Maybach 57S was one of the finest vehicles money could buy when this car rolled off the production line in August 2011.

This particular Maybach is presented in outstanding condition throughout, testament to its low mileage and careful ownership. The Antigua White paintwork is beautifully preserved and perfectly complements the leather interior. The car is luxuriously appointed with a fridge and television screens provided for the rear passengers.

Under the bonnet we find a powerful six-litre V12 engine, which provides the car with ample performance in order to take on the Autobahn with ease. This 57S comes with German registration documents and has passed the stringent TÜV safety test so is ready to be put into action.

The Interior

White leather in excellent condition
Luxuriously appointed interior
Fridge and entertainment system in the rear

This Maybach is as luxuriously appointed as you would expect to see in a car which was designed to compete with the likes of Rolls-Royce and Bentley. The sumptuous leather seats are extremely supportive and the leather is very well preserved, testament to the car’s low mileage.

Behind the heated steering wheel, the dashboard is simple and understated, with the manufacturers resisting the temptation to cover every surface with chrome and veneer. In fact, there’s not an inch of wood to be seen on this car, inside or out. We think the black dashboard and carbon-fibre centre console contrast the pale leather very nicely.

To the rear, the passengers are provided with acres of legroom, as well as an integrated fridge in the centre console, a DVD player, a screen each and a small drinks cabinet. And in the boot there is more than enough space for luggage, as well as the obligatory neatly furled umbrella.

The Exterior

Antigua White paintwork very well preserved
Chrome trim accentuates the car’s lines
Panels appear undamaged

Finished in Antigua White, this Maybach is a very smart vehicle. The paint appears to be very well preserved, with barely a mark to be seen. In contrast with the dark tinted windows, the paint really stands out as brilliant white.

The chrome radiator grille is surmounted by the Maybach emblem, which is also proudly displayed on the alloy wheels and even the headlamp lenses. And chrome trim runs the length of the car, following its curves nicely.

The 20 inch alloy wheels appear to be in good condition, and the lamp lenses are clear and bright throughout.

The Mechanics

Six-litre V12 engine produces over 600hp
Adaptive cruise control
Five-speed automatic transmission

Lifting the large bonnet reveals the six-litre V12 power plant which produces an impressive 603hp, which is fed through an automatic transmission. This engine was manufactured by Mercedes’ AMG division, as such it can reach 100 km/h in under five seconds. Despite the car’s large size and luxurious interior, it is clearly a capable performer.

The driver is assisted by adaptive cruise control. And we note that this car has passed the TÜV test and that this technical inspection is valid for two years.

Summary

Here we have a true luxury vehicle, designed to offer the best of performance, comfort and style and with enough extra features to make it seem like a far newer car. The white paint is in fantastic condition, as is the sumptuous interior.

With a variety of potential applications, all you have to do is decide whether to drive or be chauffeured.
