It’s not every day that we can say we’re shocked by how little a hyper-luxurious car costs, specifically when it includes anything with “Mercedes” or “Maybach” in its name. Nowadays isn’t a normal day, then, because the new 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600, which we just drove for the 1st time, is coming in at, a-hem, “just” $ 190,275.
That is $ 22,450 far more than the smaller 2016 Mercedes-Benz S600 on which it is based, but the value difference shrinks to about $ 13K when you add functions to the S600 that are standard on the ‘Bach. But wait, there’s more! The shipping charge has come down to the exact same $ 925 necessary in most other Benzes, which is about a third of the $ 2750 Maybach utilised to charge to drop off its 57 and 62 limousines. At $ 2,806 per added inch of length (the Maybach’s 8 inches longer than the S600), the Mercedes-Maybach’s not specifically a low-cost upgrade, specially when you contemplate that a $ 5000 bottle of champagne is almost certainly considered a regular buy for the car’s target buyer. Good thing, then, that the S600 can be fitted with a refrigerator amongst the rear seats—the residence fridge is for those $ 10,000 bottles, anyway.
Far a lot more crucial to prospective clients are the spoils, and you will get a lot of ‘em with the Mercedes-Maybach S600, which includes several of the more desirable possibilities on the S-Class. Normal goodies incorporate special wood and decorative materials, Mercedes’ nifty Intelligent Drive driver-assistance package, Magic Physique Handle (a.k.a. “Bumps-be-gone!”) adaptive suspension, infrared night vision, a panoramic sunroof, the S-class’s warmth and comfort option packages, a heated windshield, a head-up display, Burmester “High-Finish 3D” surround sound audio, the Executive rear seat package, rear-seat entertainment, and, of course, the S-class’ fabulous perfume atomizer. Naturally, the Mercedes-Maybach will be offered with many alternatives to tailor the car to its owner’s liking, and alas, raise the value to far more expected levels, but those have yet to be completely outlined or priced.
As if it matters to the one percent, the S600’s pricing is competitive with the $ 197,825 Bentley Flying Spur V-8 and the Rolls-Royce Ghost, both of which offer you a greater sense of occasion, if not very the identical levels of technological sophistication. Given the state of the ever-audacious pricing policies of luxury carmakers—and Mercedes in particular—you couldn’t have convinced any a single of us right here that that the huge ‘Bach would come in a cent under $ 200K, but here we are. Will Maybach succeed beneath Benz’s wing where it failed (nearly) on its own, specifically with out the size and glitz of its competitors? Nicely, if not absolutely everyone wealthy enough to personal one particular desires to appear so lucky rich—it might just stand a opportunity.
