Maybach 57S photoshooting in St.Moritz

[stmoritzer]

Today, there is just a small set of pics because I'm on a 56K modem ( which kills my nerves) :?

This Maybach 57S was presented in a tent in St.Moritz during the Polo event.

The 57S is available in only two color combos:
black with white interiour or silvermetallic (there was one in geneva) with a dark interiour.
The AMG powered 6litre V12 Biturbo engine produces 612hp and 1000Nm :shock: - the 2.735tons are accelerated from 0-100km/h in 5.0s only. The feeling on a racetrack should be surprisingly good (according to a testdriver which compared the SLR and a 57S on a racetrack, but well maybe this snetence is more PR work :wink:)

On the other side is the luxury handcrafted car with an endless list of "built-in" features, i.e. there are 21 loudspeakers in a standard model ....


Well, you're going to ask, who will buy such a car with sportscar performances and luxury equipment ??

I don't know? I guess they wanted to create a hi-end drivers-car for a rich arabic son of a scheich ?


Now let's have a look at a few pics, IMO the design is quite nice, I like the "shiny-diamond" front lights

everybody knows these situations - one is about to shoot a picture, and then, a person walks in your field of view and grrrrrrr.. blocks your sight ...... but if your lucky (very rare), you just enjoy the view :mrgreen:

I kinda like the car and the pics are pretty nice! Too bad there is ppl sit on the back seats in the first one, but I guess many ppl wanted to check out the car, you just did a great job anyway, thanks!

[dutchmasterflex]

some very nice shots stmoritz!

I really like the last one of the boot and the maybach emblem..

the picture of the ass is perfect for a jeans ad.. I can almost see the billboard of that pic in time square.... :D

[SL55 AMG]

Cool pics

I really like the tuxedo color combo inside and out

[chest3r]

Nice set of pics... but I still think that the car is totally pointless.

With an ass like that inside I really don't think it would be pointless :P :mrgreen:

[yg60m]

Thanks mate :D Nice job, I like this car, luxo-sportscar :wink:

[vakpemil]

The car is really nice! I have photo's from one on the public road, it's an great looking car! Much better then a normal Maybach

[stmoritzer]

Nice set of pics... but I still think that the car is totally pointless. Why do you want 612hp... if you won't drive the car??? :roll: I guess it's just because they can :wink:

Thanks for sharing stmoritzer :good: :P

what do you mean with "if you won't drive the car"??

[ARMAN]

Nice fox.. I mean butt... i mean Maybach :P Great top quality pics Stmoritzer :) Thanx :wink:

[Pehtren]

Nice set of pics :P , more to come, more time to wait... :mrgreen:

[Wutputt]

Nice set of pics, StMoritzer. I guess the Merc Designo 'options' are also available on the Maybach for customers who don't like the two standard colour combos?

[Darkel]

Not many angles possible but you took some nice pictures :wink:

I wonder why we don't see those 57S very often while they keep showing the already old 57 and 62 models :hmm:

[stmoritzer]

^the 57S is for sure not a chauffeur-car, this model is made to be driven by the owner.

According to Maybach people, also many of the other MAybachs incl the large 62 model are driven by the owner himself. So far I haven's seen a single one ( St.M, Geneva and Frankfurt) with the classic window behind the chauffeur to separate the chauffeur form the passengers.


Nice set of pics, StMoritzer. I guess the Merc Designo 'options' are also available on the Maybach for customers who don't like the two standard colour combos?

No, the 57S is only available in two color schenmes.

(well, money should make it possible I guess :wink: )
