Maybach 62 | super speed cars

ADVERTISEMENTS
A maker of exquisite automobiles in the 1920s and ’30s, the Maybach 62 | super speed cars nameplate was revived for 2003 as an ultraluxury brand under the auspices of Mercedes-Benz. Like its standard-length Type 57 counterpart, the extended-length Type 62 holds a 550-horsepower twin-turbo V-12. Plush fittings match the Maybach’s hefty price. Little has changed for 2006.
 The list of standard features also include an Airmatic DC suspension, adaptive cruise control, 19-inch wheels, power-closing doors from the fully open position, a 21-speaker, surround-sound Bose audio system and a rear-seat entertainment system with dual screens. Among the many optional features are special wheels, three-person rear seating, a glass partition and intercom for owners planning on using a chauffeur and upgraded entertainment choices. The customers have the opportunity to select custom exterior paint colors and interior trims and make request for other features above and beyond the factory option list.
 Everything needed for entertainment, communication and sheer pleasure during a journey in the Maybach is included as standard: from a DVD player to a TV receiver, from a refrigerated compartment to a cordless telephone with two handsets. At the same time the extensive range of standard equipment leaves plenty of scope for individuality – another way in which the luxury brand is following the tradition of the legendary Maybach cars of earlier years.
 The extensive range of standard and optional equipment gives Maybach customers over two million ways of equipping their high-end luxury car to their personal taste. All this can also be complemented with high-quality accessory items which have been specifically developed for the Maybach – from a luggage set to a champagne goblet of sterling silver, from a humidor to a golf bag and from floor mats of the finest velour to a fluffy travel rug.
