Mercedes-Benz is pushing forward a completely new generation of the S-class this year, a top limousine that in the form of a Maybach variant gets an extra luxurious version. It is that cream of the crop of S salmon that has now been caught on the Nürburgring.
If we forget the Pullman variant of the current generation S-class, the Maybach variant of that sedan is considered the absolute top of the S-class range. That extra luxurious S-class was first discovered during the making of test kilometers on the more than twenty kilometers long Nürburgring.
The Mercedes-Maybach S-class is not only hanging in the stickers, the top sedan also dives into his feathers in the famous ‘Karussell’, one of the two curves that the Nürburgring knows. The superlative of the S-class – as is currently the case – is clearly a lot longer than a regular S-class. The current Maybach version with its length of 5.45 meters is about twenty centimeters longer than the current extended S-class and this new generation S-class seems to grow a bit more. This new set of espionage photos also shows the sunken door handles for the first time.
The new S-class will be presented this year. Mercedes-Benz may keep the Maybach version unveiled for later.
