The aim of the new Mercedes-Maybach is to leave all eyes staring in awe and render bystanders speechless by the majesty of this vehicle. Its flawless design commands a presence and authority that demands attention. Its superior elegance and majestic body create a feeling of spaciousness and imperial aura that combine in pure automotive harmony.
