Maybach is dead, long live Maybach! Well, sort of, because the twice-defunct über-luxury brand – last axed due to poor sales in 2012 – has been swept into the Mercedes-Benz fold, becoming part of the official name of the extended-wheelbase S-Class – the Mercedes-Maybach S 600.
The Mercedes-Maybach S 600 is an extended wheelbase version of the W222 S-Class, with even more rear legroom than the long wheelbase edition. It won't be the longest S-Class around though - that honour will be reserved for the 6-seater Pullman that we've spied recently.
Details are limited at the moment, but we do get a peek into the interior, which will probably be offered exclusively as a four-seater. The additional legroom afforded by the extended wheelbase should make those ottoman footrests more useful than they are in the long wheelbase for taller owners.
Mercedes-Maybach will not be an equipment line, but will be a sub-brand that in the future will deliver Mercedes-Benz cars in an exclusive form. We wonder which other Mercedes-Benz car could get the Mercedes-Maybach treatment in the future then?
