2007 Maybach Type 57 Overview
Vehicle Overview
Aside from a few revised options, changes for the 2007 Maybach Type 57 are few.
Maybach was one of the world's most exquisite nameplates in the 1920s and '30s. The original company was founded by Karl Maybach — the son of Wilhelm Maybach, who developed the first Mercedes.
The Maybach nameplate reappeared in 2003 in the form of two closely related ultraluxury sedans, each of which holds nearly every sort of comfort and convenience feature.
Maybachs come in two sizes: the regular Type 57 and the extended-length Type 62, which is covered separately in Cars.com's Research section. The model designation indicates the car's length in meters: 5.73 for the Type 57 and 6.17 for the Type 62. Special features include electronic braking and an Airmatic Dual Control air suspension. Mercedes-Benz dealers must sign separate agreements to sell the Maybach brand.
The Type 57 offers a 550-horsepower V-12, while the Type 57 S ups the ante with a larger, 604-hp V-12.
Exterior
According to the manufacturer, Maybach styling balances classic and avant-garde features. The doors, hood and fenders are made of aluminum. Maybach says a primary goal was to deliver an "entirely new definition of first class."
Twelve body colors are available and two-tone paint schemes can be specified. Bi-xenon headlights are standard. The Type 57 is 225.3 inches long overall, has a 133.5-inch wheelbase and rides on 19-inch tires. A standard power-closing feature pulls the door shut from ...

The Type 57 S gets a firmer suspension, a modified front end and 20-inch wheels.
Interior
As many as 100 items inside the Maybach are trimmed in exotic woods. Available accessories include a luggage set, a sterling silver champagne goblet, a humidor and a golf bag, among other amenities. Buyers can choose from six Grand Nappa leather colors and three types of wood. All four seats are heated, and active seat ventilation is available. The Business Package, which added wireless internet and other corner-office features, has been dropped.
Occupants can luxuriate in reclining rear seats. A television with a 9.5-inch TFT flat screen includes a DVD player. Interior features include four-zone climate control with two air-conditioning units, a refrigerated compartment, a cordless phone with two handsets and a 21-speaker Bose Dolby sound system. Each sedan also has Mercedes' Tele Aid emergency communication system and Comand integrated control system. Piano lacquer finish and carbon fiber elements decorate the interior of the Type 57 S sedan.
Under the Hood
Equipped with twin turbochargers, the Type 57's 5.5-liter V-12 produces 550 hp and 663 pounds-feet of torque. It teams with a five-speed automatic transmission. Maybach says the Type 57 can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds. A 604-hp, twin-turbo 6.0-liter V-12 powers the Type 57 S. That engine generates 604 hp and a stupefying 738 pounds-feet of torque. It also uses a five-speed automatic.
Safety
Two adaptive front airbags, four side-impact airbags, and front and rear side curtain airbags are standard, as are four-wheel-disc antilock brakes and an electronic stability system.
