well... I think it is the Maybach (here is a picture of it) and not the S-Class W221, because it really looks like the Maybach and the new S is more veiled than that prototype! I've attached a spyshot of the new S. Next point: All current releases of Maybach pics do have "RT" on their number plates, S-Class spyshots haven't!

And here it is, a W221 spyshot (MB-Portal.Net):
