It takes a lot to outdo an S-Class. The Maybach S-Class does just that and more. The new S 680 pushes power, intelligence and pure attentiveness to levels unseen. It comes powered by a 6.0-litre V12 engine, generating 612 horsepower and a mammoth 900 Nm of torque distributed by its new 4MATIC all-wheel drive system. The Biturbo engine is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission, allowing the Maybach to do a 0 to 100 km/h time of 4.4 seconds.
Mercedes-Benz claims that the new Maybach S-Class is their most technologically advanced car to be sold in India. The limousine comes with next-generation advanced driving assistance, NTG 7 MBUX infotainment, an innovative network of cars through ‘Car-to-X technology’, four driving modes including a new “Maybach” mode. The S 680 is also equipped with electronically operated comfort doors that open and close with no physical effort at all. To top it all, the new Mercedes-Maybach S 680 is sold out until 2023.
