THE CAR OFFERED
In 2002, Mercedes-Benz revived the storied Maybach marque as a new flagship luxury brand, positioned above and beyond the S-Class and intended to take on the might of Rolls-Royce at the pinnacle of the prestige market. With the 57 and 62, Mercedes-Benz delivered a brace of high-performance luxury saloons incorporating a good deal of contemporary Mercedes-Benz technology. The model designations were derived from their approximate lengths: 5.7 meters in the former's case and 6.2 meters in the latter's. Motivation comes via the superb Mercedes 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine, delivering exceptional refinement and a massive 543 horsepower along with a veritable Rhine River of torque to ensure the big Maybach can handle itself on the Autobahn without so much as a bead of sweat.
As one might expect from a flagship luxury car of such a high caliber, no detail is overlooked. Mercedes-Benz employed the finest materials and finishes, and the Maybach came loaded to the gills with all manner of technology, and luxury equipment. Just 1,104 Maybach 57s were built, ensuring its title as one of the most exclusive luxury cars of its time.
This 2009 Maybach 57 is a US-market example, delivered new via Mercedes-Benz's factory-owned flagship store in Manhattan. The accompanying specification sheet shows it came finished with "Special Paintwork," noted as 474 Peridot Braun Metallic, over a Beige exclusive leather cabin. Myriad standard features and optional equipment include front and rear dual-zone climate control, power rear window curtain, rear door window curtains, folding tables, refrigerated rear console, radar cruise control, Airmatic suspension, Bi-Xenon active lighting, and much more. The CARFAX® report indicates that this car left the care of its first owner in 2012, and was acquired by the consignor in 2013, when it had approximately 10,600 miles (17,170km) on the odometer, a figure it still shows today.
Since its acquisition by the consignor, the grand Maybach has been on static display as part of an extensive overseas private collection in a dry climate, and as such, recommissioning will be required prior to use.
