When it comes to luxury and exclusivity, the 2008 Maybach 62 is in a league of its own. This hand-built, fully-customizable four door ultra Luxury Sedan offers seating capacity for up to five passengers in its roomy interior. It comes equipped with a sizeable 543 horsepower 5.5-liter gas-powered V12 that generates 664 lbs-ft. of torque mated to a 5-speed overdrive-enabled automatic transmission under the hood. Luxury amenities include fine leather upholstery, dual zone climate control, cruise, keyless entry, navigation, heated memory seats and Satellite radio.
2008 model year changes
For 2008, the Maybach lineup receives fairly minor changes, including a new standard pneumatic door closing assist and a rollover sensor. The 57S and 62S now ride on 20-inch wheels instead of 19-inch alloys.
Competitive comparison
Make "typical" ultra-luxury sedans seem austere; heavenly ride; remarkable comfort; incredible power; all the prestige you'll ever need.
Special features for 2008
It seems odd to consider the word "value" in a car that costs well over $300,000; instead, the word "prestige" is more appropriate. The 2008 Maybach is in the same rarefied air as the most luxurious new cars in the world. Mercedes-Benz resurrected this illustrious brand in 2004, and it continues to ably fill the market needs of those who demand a personalized luxury experience that cannot be duplicated by any ordinary mode of transportation.
