Maybach 57S is one of the top 10 most expensive car in the World. Maybach 57 (chassis no. W240) was the first automobile models of the Maybach brand since the brand’s revival by DaimlerChrysler. It was derived from the Mercedes-Benz Maybach concept car presented at the 1997 Tokyo Motor Show. The concept car was based on the Mercedes-Benz S Class sedan. Maybach 57S was revealed at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show. The S stands for “special” and not for “sport”.
Its 6.0-liter, twin-turbo V-12 makes 603 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque, versus 543 hp and 664 lb-ft for the stock 57, enough to spear this 6000-pound behemoth from 0 to 62 mph in 5.0 seconds and on to a top speed of 171 mph. Maybach also retuned the air suspension, lowered the ride height by 0.6 inch, and fitted thicker antiroll bars and twenty-inch wheels.
