The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is one deeply impressive luxurious offering, but when you’re playing in the ultra high net worth individual space, you’re going to need something that offers the ultimate in every department. Meet the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class and it’s confirmed for SA.
From the Mercedes-Benz SA configurator, we can see there’s just one model available, with a comprehensive list of options and customisation opportunities.
The flagship Mercedes-Maybach S680 comes to market armed with a 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged V12 petrol engine, which develops a staggering 463 kW and 1000 Nm. Power reaches all four wheels via a 9-speed automatic.
The company claims a 0-100 kph of 4.5 seconds, which isn’t the most brisk, but you have to remember the size and weight of the S680. As far as efficiency goes, around 14 L/100 km has been claimed.
Yes, and plenty of them! There are four wheel designs to choose from, going up to 21-inch in size and costing R115 000.
Interestingly, the two-tone paint you see here is available in a number of combinations. The standard base coat can go up to R121 000, with the combination adding a further R270 000 to the price list.
Inside, you can tick the box for the MANUFAKTUR Leather Package (R320000), Rear seat comfort package for neck/shoulder heating, climatised and contoured rear seats (R35 000), first-class rear compartment (R90000), rear fridge (R26200), rear folding tables (R38100), and rear axle steering for R30 000.
