No, this one is not headed for India, at least for the time being. The new Mercedes-Maybach S600 will be available from April 2015 onward in the US for prices starting at $ 189,350 (Rs 1.17 crore approx.). This car is longer--more than 8 inches in total length when compared to the standard S-Class and features a suite of intelligent safety technologies and exclusive appointments that complete the opulent package.
Please do remember that the Mercedes-Maybach is not an equipment line. It is a sub-brand that introduces Mercedes-Benz vehicles in an even more exclusive form. Alongside Mercedes-AMG, Mercedes-Maybach becomes the second sub-brand for Mercedes-Benz that was created for customers who demand the absolute best. Can imagine this set of customers? They would be definitely uber rich and extremely choosy about their products. These vehicles are distinguished by unparalleled interior appointments and extensive individualisation options to fulfill the requirements of even the most discerning customers worldwide.
The car is fitted with a powerful V12 bi-turbo engine that has an output of 523 hp. With a displacement of 5980 cc, the maximum torque of around 830 Nm is available from 1900 rpm. Inside the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class, the level of wind noise is extraordinarily low and even surpasses levels found in the quietest car in the world – the S-Class Coupe. In fact, for rear seat passengers, the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class is the world's quietest production sedan. So whether you talk to your mistress, your wife or your girlfriend, you can be assured of absolute silence within the car and you can hear her lovely voice crispy clear!
Standard equipment includes a Driver Assistance Package (Intelligent Drive), Magic Body Control, Night View Assist Plus, a Warmth and Comfort Package with a heated windshield, Head-Up Display, LED Intelligent Lighting System, Burmester High-End 3D Surround Sound System, Executive Rear Seat Package, Rear Seat Entertainment System and the Air Balance Package.
This will find its way into India at some stage and with the kind of wealthy Indians mushrooming like flowers in a valley, it’s bound to get its share of buyers here too.
