2006 Maybach 57 S
For those who find the Maybach 57's 543-horsepower, twin-turbocharged, 5.5-liter V-12 engine a tad underwhelming, Maybach offers the 57 S for 2006. The 57 S packs an extra half-liter of displacement to make 604 horsepower and 738 pounds-feet of torque. Maybach estimates this powers the three-ton sedan from zero to 60 mph in less than 5 seconds — a few tenths faster than the 57's 5.2 seconds. A firmer suspension allows less body roll.
The 57 S slots between the 57 and 62 in price, with an announced MSRP of $369,750. The 2006 model 57 lists at $335,250, and the larger 62 starts at $385,250 (all prices include destination charge). For the foreseeable future, no 62 S will be offered.
Exterior
Lower-profile, 20-inch tires supplant the 19-inch versions on the 57. The chrome grille features larger bars, and a revised lighting scheme adds chrome-trimmed fog lights in the outboard portals of the three-piece lower grille. Maybach offers the 57 S with exclusive black or silver paint.
To account for the extra power, the 57 S's Airmatic suspension includes firmer shock absorbers and thicker stabilizer bars, and it lowers the ride height by one-half inch.
Like the 57 and 62, the 57 S offers such ultraluxury highlights as laminated side windows, which Maybach says are 30 percent thicker than conventional ones, and bi-xenon headlamps with the Maybach logo etched into each lens. A rearview camera is also standard.
Interior
The 57 S replaces much of the 57's light wood trim with carbon fiber, though black poplar wood trim — unavailable on the 57 or 62 — can be substituted. Features shared across the Maybach line include four-zone climate control, power-adjustable rear seats and a built-in refrigerator. Options include power-operated rear side window curtains and folding tables for each rear passenger. Rear bucket seats are standard, and a three-person bench seat is available. The 57 S offers exclusive seat upholstery with contrasting piping, in either black or white.
Under the Hood
A twin-turbocharged, 6.0-liter V-12 engine powers the 57 S. Built by AMG, Mercedes-Benz's high-performance division, it follows the same 60-degree architecture of the 5.5-liter engine in the 57 and 62, but makes 604 hp and 738 pounds-feet of torque. This is a sizeable gain over the smaller motor's 543 hp and 664 pounds-feet of torque. Both engines use a five-speed-automatic transmission.
Safety
A bevy of standard safety equipment includes antilock brakes that automatically pulse against the discs during wet-weather driving to remove excess moisture; anti-submarine rear seat belts, which keep occupants from sliding down and forward; an electronic stability system; and a GPS-based emergency communication system. Side-impact airbags for front as well as rear seats and side curtain-type airbags for each outboard seating position are also standard.
