Maybach (automotive company)

Maybach is a modern German luxury automaker that is a division of Mercedes-Benz. The original business, which was established in 1909 by Wilhelm Maybach and his son Karl Maybach as a division of Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH, was known until 1999 as Luftfahrzeug-Motorenbau GmbH. Daimler-Benz acquired Maybach in 1960. In 2002, the name made a comeback as a stand-alone ultra-luxury car brand, sharing many key components with Mercedes-Benz vehicles. After experiencing sluggish sales, Maybach ceased to exist as a separate brand in 2013 and, as of 2015, it is now a part of the Mercedes-Benz Group, which owns Maybach. Beginning in 2021, Daimler will create a high-end version of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and GLS-Class under the Mercedes-Maybach brand.
The Maybach name was revived in November 2014 by Daimler as a sub-brand of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W222), positioning it as a premium alternative to the more sporty Mercedes-AMG sub-brand. The premium Mercedes-Maybach S600 was previewed at auto exhibitions in Los Angeles, California, and Guangzhou, China,[21] in advance of its premiere in April 2015,[20] and the production vehicle debuted at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. The S 500 and S 550 were renamed S 560 during the facelift, and the flagship was changed to S 650. 
The aforementioned flagship vehicle, which competes with the Bentley Mulsanne and Rolls-Royce Phantom, is built on the same Sindelfingen assembly line that produces the S-Class. It is around 20 centimeters (7.9 in) longer than the extended-wheelbase S-Class versions, measuring 5.453 meters (17.89 ft) long with a wheelbase of 3.365 meters (11.04 ft) (132.5 inches). S500 (S550 in the US) and S600 models of the Mercedes-Maybach will be offered, with 4matic all-wheel-drive being an option with the V8 engine. The acceleration time is 5.0 seconds from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h). A three-seat rear bench or two reclining seats are choices for the standard model's color finish, as well.
