Ultra-luxury brand, Mercedes-Maybach is celebrating its 100-year production milestone with bespoke Edition 100 iterations of the S-Class sedan and GLS SUV.

If the offerings from Mercedes-Benz just aren’t luxurious enough for you then perhaps a Mercedes-Maybach S-Class or GLS will be enough to satisfy you?

In September 1921, the then Maybach Motorenbau GmbH presented its first mass-produced car, the W 3, at the Berlin motor show. As such, the brand is celebrating its 100-year production milestone and to mark the occasion, the luxury firm is offering the Maybach S-Class Edition 100 and the Maybach GLS Edition 100 to well-heeled customers. Only 100 examples of each will be produced, ensuring their exclusivity.

Both models wear an elegant, hand-painted two-tone colour scheme with a Cirrus Silver body and Nautical Blue bonnet and roof. The special forged alloy wheels feature obligatory “Edition 100” lettering, which is also found on the C-Pillars, serving as a reminder that these are not ordinary Mercedes-Maybach models. Customers will also receive a car cover and a handmade case in either black leather or soft crystal white to store keys and paperwork.

On the inside, both Edition 100 models are fitted with bespoke Crystal White and Silver Grey Pearl leather upholstery. Every conceivable luxury feature you would want is present, including a noise insulated rear cabin, ventilated seats with full massage functionality and a high-end Burmester 4D surround sound system as well as the obligatory top-end touchscreen infotainment systems.

The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class Edition 100 is offered exclusively with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre V12 engine that produces 463 kW and no less than 1 000 Nm of torque. As for the Mercedes-Maybach Edition 100, it makes use of a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine with 415 kW and 730 Nm of torque.

It’s also worth mentioning that the Mercedes-Maybach EQS Concept was revealed recently too, previewing the firm’s forthcoming luxury electric SUV which is due in 2023.
