Maybach 57 S

The Maybach 57 S

The "S" in the designation of the 57 S model, which joined the range in 2005, stands for "Special" and reflects the fact that Maybach has implemented many of the wishes of its highly discerning customers. It is above all those who wish to drive the vehicle themselves who were looking for a symbiosis of luxurious comfort and a distinctly sporty character. In the Maybach 57 S the 6.0-litre V12 biturbo engine with an output of 450 kW/612 hp teams up with a tauter suspension set-up to provide the highest levels of luxury and dynamic handling, making it the ideal high-end luxury saloon for owner-drivers who expect the very latest high-performance technology and the perfection typical of the Maybach brand. And the Maybach 57 S delivers a new dimension of performance. It accelerates from nought to 100  km/h in just 5.0 seconds, and from nought to 200 km/h in a mere 15.8 seconds, making it the sportiest luxury saloon in the world. The sprint from 80 to 120 km/h, a speed range which is often decisive when it comes to overtaking, is something which this high-end luxury saloon accomplishes effortlessly in 3.7 seconds – scarcely more time than it takes to blink. The top speed is 275 km/h. To make sure that the impressive performance potential of the 57 S is always safely and smoothly transferred to the road, Maybach engineers have modified the suspension in numerous ways to do justice to the increased power. The results are palpable: despite its weight and dimensions, the luxury saloon is agile and dynamic, has precise, responsive cornering characteristics and assists the driver with safe and neutral handling. Moreover, the Maybach 57 S provides a surprisingly high level of driving pleasure on winding country roads and on tortuous mountain passes. To achieve these dynamic, responsive characteristics, the Maybach developers have reconfigured the stabilisers at the front and rear axles. There is now a two-millimetre thicker torsion bar at the front and a four-millimetre thicker version at the rear. These provide the car with a sportier, more balanced suspension and more support at the rear axle. The result is a reduction in roll angle by around 15 percent and therefore more lateral stability when taking bends at speed. Handling and cornering ability are improved at the same time. The handling dynamics also benefit from a 15-millimetre reduction in ride height. Together these modifications lead to significantly improved roadholding on the part of the Maybach 57 S. The more stiffly configured Adaptive Damping System ADS II, as well as the semi-active air suspension, dampens body movements more rapidly and accentuates the sporty handling. If the driver selects the sporty mode from the three available suspension settings by pressing the switch in the centre console, the springs and dampers are even more stiffly configured. However, even in normal mode the new Maybach 57 S offers a high level of dynamic handling for the driving enthusiast without any loss of comfort. The modified suspension components also allow a more sporty configuration of ESP and ASR for higher lateral acceleration. Ventilation of the braking system has also been improved. Underbody air deflectors in the area of the front axle, as well as the airflow-optimised, eleven-spoke design of the wheels, allow more cooling air to reach the brakes. This ensures better performance and fade resistance in all driving situations and operating conditions. In the Maybach 57 S these measures make for a consistently outstanding level of active safety.
