Mercedes to launch the Maybach S600 on September 25

Mercedes-Maybach S600 India launch is scheduled for September 25. Maybach is the most premium line of the executive cars in Mercedes range, taking it a step forward from the standard S-Class sedan.

The S600 is close to 20cm longer than the long-wheelbase S-Class, which is basically due to the further extension of the wheelbase. The extra space is devoted to the rear passenger offering exclusive features. Powered by the 6.0-litre V12 petrol engine, the S600 can get to 100kmph in less than five seconds, with a power rating of 515bhp and 830Nm of torque. The rear-wheel drive set up gets power from the new nine-speed 9G-Tronic transmission.

The car will come to India as a CBU and will have an exhaustive features list including the adjustable rear seats with personal LCD screen, massager and tray table. There are also a few changes to the exterior to distinguish this from the standard S-Class model.

The Mercedes-Maybach will be positioned above the standard sedan and even the AMG performance variant with a price tag of around Rs 2.75 crore.-
