“What is good must also be beautiful.” This was the credo of Wilhelm and Karl Maybach at the beginning of the 20th century. Father and son were regarded as gifted designers, trailblazers of automotive luxury and pioneers in matters of style. With a simple-sounding formula, they created highly complex things: perfection and craftsmanship paired with innovation, both technically and in terms of workmanship. This is what the name Maybach stands for to this day. The Mercedes-Maybach brand continues to develop, with more models – soon also electric. At the IAA Mobility 2021 in Munich, Mercedes-Maybach presented the “Concept EQS” and thus gave a preview of the first fully electric series model from 2023. The SUV will be based on the modular architecture for luxury – and premium-class electric vehicles from Mercedes-Benz.
Mercedes-Maybach is presenting the “Edition 100” to mark its 100th anniversary with a special edition of the current S-Class, limited to 100 units worldwide. The special edition will be available in the U.S. in the first half of 2022.
New models for real enthusiasts – Mercedes-Maybach launches the “Edition 100”
To mark its centennial, the brand continues its journey towards maximum individuality, independence and comfort with a high-tech model.
The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class with a V12 engine capable of producing 621 hp is the perfect luxury sedan. Equipment highlights include the noise-insulated first-class rear compartment with Burmester 4D surround sound system, heat and massage functions for the seats and high-tech screens for infotainment. Compared to the long-wheelbase version of the S-Class, the model has a 7-inch (18 cm) longer wheelbase and is equipped with all-wheel drive for the first time.
The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class is now being celebrated in the most beautiful way in a refined “Edition 100” limited to 100 units worldwide: characteristic Maybach hallmarks such as the impressive radiator grille bear the brand emblem. The S-Class is hand-painted in two-tone Cirrus Silver/Nautical Blue and features a special design of leather interior in MANUFAKTUR Crystal White/Silver Grey Pearl. The brand logo including the inscription “Edition 100” adorns the C-pillar, various stowage compartments and the illuminated panels in the interior. The “Edition 100” lettering also adorns the hub caps. The wheels also shine in a new grey finish.
A car cover with the iconic double M as well as a fine handmade case made of soft crystal white or black leather in file size – made to store keys and papers – further underline the exclusivity of the edition. In keeping with the anniversary edition, Mercedes-Maybach’s long-standing partners are also designing strictly limited special series: Licensing partner Maybach Icons of Luxury, for example, offers a diamond-studded fountain pen from the Maybach the Peak collection.
The “Edition 100” will be available in the U.S. in the first half of 2022.
