From Motoring Magazine Jan'06
Motoring Magazine Jan'O6 is now available at all major news stands.

The ultra-luxurious Maybach range has just been augmented with the 57 S - a 612bhp, 1000Nm super-saloon that clocks 0-100km/h in just five seconds. Power is provided via a 6.0-litre V12 bi-turbo while road holding manners are managed by a tauter suspension configuration.

Besides the mechanical changes, the 57 S sports a redesigned radiator and lighting units, 20-inch alloy wheels, discreet '57 S' badge beneath the A-pillars and boot lid plus an exclusive single tone paintwork. At the rear, there is a newly designed apron flaunted by two new trapezoidal exhaust tailpipes.

In typical Maybach-style, only materials of the highest quality are used - handcrafted and finished to a luxurious perfection plus carefully coordinated piano lacquer and carbon fibre. Completing this transformation are features like the AIRMATIC DC (Dual Control), LINGUATRONIC voice control, the COMAND APS control and display system, a 600 watt sound system with Dolby surround sound on every seat and an efficient four-zone air conditioning system based on two separate air conditioning units. Additionally, it has a total of 10 airbags, automatic comfort-fit inertia-reel seat belts, high-performance belt tensioners and belt force limiters.
