Cheap gimmicks are a bad look on a quarter-million-dollar luxury car. Then again, if Mercedes-Maybach can get 15 suckers to cough up a $40,000 premium for the “Night Edition” super-duper S-Class with a few tacked-on decorative pieces, why shouldn’t it?

Mercedes-Maybach has turned out some hardware that’s pretty silly, in a good way, as an arbiter of extreme luxury. (Remember that ?) The company’s latest offering is the 2020 S650 Maybach Night Edition, and it is not nearly as exciting or interesting. While the standard Mercedes-Maybach S650 starts at $202,550, this bad boy lists for $242,950 unlocking:

Carbon-fiber trim and spoilerUnique 20-inch wheelsBlack exterior paint (whoa!) and an apparently unique black-and-white leather interiorLeather floor mats (what?)A leather truck mat (OK...)“...while Night Edition badges also adorn the front fenders and interior trim.” Per the .

Only 15 will be sold, so Maybach claims.

. I’m sure she’d have an amusing dismissal of the $242,950 Mercedes-Maybach’s bizarrely half-assed “Night Edition.” But alas, all you’ve got is me, and this car just bums me out.

I’m sure it’s very smooth and comfortable, though.
