Mercedes’ ‘king of designers’ Wilhelm Maybach introduced his first 16-footlong Model 12 in 1921. The Maybach Model 12 Zeppelin was the first German V12 production car. It served kings and emperors across the globe. Maybach came back as a 20-foot 62 limousine in 2012 and the previous 222-series S-Class followed in 2015.
Far from a rich man’s gimmick, Maybach delivered more than 60,000 previous generation S-Classes to customers around the world. Up to 700 of those went to China every month. The new S-Class will join the Maybach GLS in showrooms next spring. An all-new battery electric EQS Maybach electric car is on its way too. To allow the brand to double production to 25,000 cars a year.
