MAYBACH 57:(パッケージに記載されているモデル説明文のコピーです。)
MM-the legendary mark of quality defining unrivalled automotive exclusivity-has acquired renewed splendour. Two intersecting Ms in a spherical triangle now form the insignia of "Maybach Manufaktur', the new luxury car brand from the Daimler-Chrysler Group. After an absence of over 60 years, the marque reappeared in March 2002 at the 72nd
Geneva Motor Show.
The striking 'M' emblem is steeped in tradition. For two decades, from 1921 to 1941, this badge adorned only a limited number of very special cars that bore comparison with Mercedes saloons in the elite echelon of German vehicle manufacturing
The new Maybach 57, 5.72 metres in length, sets new standards with the range of exclusive fittings featured. These include a TV/DVD entertainment system in the rear, a Dolby surround sound system, four-zone climate control and multi-contour seats for all passengers. One of the hallmarks of the Maybach is its two-tone exterior paintwork. Several hundred possible combinations mean that each owner can have a totally individual look.
The car is powered by the newly-developed 405 kw/550 hp "Type 12" Maybach engine. With 5.5 litre displacement, bi-turbocharging and 900 newton meters of torque, this power unit has all the ingredients necessary to deliver superior driving performance. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes a mere 5.2 seconds and the car provides with ease the high level of comfort expected of a luxury car brand. The electronically-controlled air suspension and high-performance electro-hydraulic braking system featuring twin-Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) are further innovations from the Mercedes Technology Centre.
