Maybach (German: [ˈmaɪbax], MY-bokh)[1] is a German luxury car brand that exists today as a part of Mercedes-Benz. The original company was founded in 1909 by Wilhelm Maybach and his son Karl Maybach, originally as a subsidiary of Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH, and it was known as Luftfahrzeug-Motorenbau GmbH until 1999.

In 1960, Maybach was acquired by Daimler-Benz. The name returned as a standalone ultra-luxury car brand in 2002, sharing significant components with Mercedes-Benz cars. After slow sales, Maybach ceased to be a standalone brand by 2013, and it became (in 2015) a sub-brand of Mercedes-Benz, which is owned by the Mercedes-Benz Group. As of 2021, Daimler produces an ultra-luxury edition of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class under the Mercedes-Maybach name.[2]
1909–1940: Early historyEdit
Wilhelm Maybach was technical director of the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft (DMG) until he left in 1907. On 23 March 1909, he founded the new company, Luftfahrzeug-Motorenbau GmbH (literally «Aircraft Engine Building Company»), with his son Karl Maybach as director.[citation needed] In 1912, they renamed it to Maybach-Motorenbau GmbH («Maybach Engine Construction Company»). The company originally developed and manufactured diesel and petrol engines for Zeppelins, and then rail cars. Its Maybach Mb.IVa was used in aircraft and airships of World War I.
The company first built an experimental car in 1919, introduced as a production model two years later at the Berlin Motor Show. Between 1921 and 1940, the company produced a variety of opulent vehicles, now regarded as classics. The company also continued to build heavy-duty diesel engines for marine and rail purposes.
Maybach had a British subsidiary, Maybach Gears Ltd, that specialised in gearboxes. In 1938, in conjunction with Dr Henry Merritt, they produced a gearbox and steering system – the ‘Merritt-Maybach’ – for the abortive Nuffield A.16E1 Cruiser tank design.[3]
1940–1945Edit
During the Second World War, Maybach produced the engines for most of Nazi Germany’s tanks and half-tracks. These included almost all the production tank engines through Panzer I, II, III, IV and V, the Tiger I and II (Maybach HL230) and other heavy tanks: and also engines for half-tracks such as the Sd.Kfz. 251 personnel carrier and prime movers like the Sd.Kfz. 9. The engine plant was one of several industries targeted at Friedrichshafen.
After WW II, the factory performed some repair work, but automotive production was never restarted, and some 20 years later, the company was renamed MTU Friedrichshafen.
1960sEdit
Daimler-Benz purchased the company in 1960. Post-1960, the company was mainly used to make special editions of Mercedes cars in the W108 and W116 model range, which were virtually hand built. These cars however carried the Mercedes badge and serial numbers.
Rolls-Royce Power Systems AG, based in Friedrichshafen, used to manufacture the commercial Maybach diesel engines under the MTU brand through its subsidiary MTU Friedrichshafen GmbH.[when?]
1997–2013Edit
Daimler presented a luxury concept car at the 1997 Tokyo Motor Show. A production model based on it was introduced in two sizes – the Maybach 57 and the Maybach 62, reflecting the lengths of the automobiles in decimetres. In 2005 the 57S was added, powered by a 6.0 L V12 bi-turbo engine producing 450 kW (603 hp) and 1,000 N⋅m (738 lbf⋅ft) of torque, and featuring various cosmetic touches.
To promote the new Maybach line, Mercedes-Benz engaged figures such as Maybach heir Ulrich Schmid-Maybach and golfer Nick Faldo to serve as brand ambassadors.[4]
Initially, Daimler-Chrysler predicted annual sales of 2,000 worldwide with 50 per cent coming from the United States; however, these expectations never materialized.[5][6] In 2007, Mercedes bought back 29 US dealers, reducing the total from 71 to 42.[7] In 2010, only 157 Maybachs were sold worldwide, compared to 2,711 similarly priced Rolls-Royces.[8] By the time of the announcement that the brand was to be laid back to rest, 3,000 had been sold worldwide since the brand was revived in 2002.[9]
Daimler announced in November 2011 that Maybach would cease to be a brand by 2013 and manufactured the last Maybach vehicle in December 2012. This was because of poor sales.[10][11]
CancellationEdit
With poor sales and the heavy impact of the financial crisis of 2007–2008, Daimler AG undertook a complete review of the Maybach division,[12] approaching Aston Martin to engineer and style the next generation of Maybach models along with the next generation of Lagondas.[13] According to Automotive News, only 44 Maybachs had been sold in the United States in the first ten months of 2011.[14]
An article in Fortune noted that Mercedes had missed out on the chance to purchase Rolls-Royce and Bentley when they were up for sale in the 1990s:
«Mercedes backpedaled and decided it needed to be in the ultra-luxury business too, but it went after it in a remarkably clumsy way.»
It further stated that the first Maybach models had poor driving dynamics compared to its contemporaries from Rolls-Royce and Bentley:
«Mercedes took an aging S-class chassis and plopped an absurdly elongated body on it … rather than develop a new car from the wheels up, as BMW did with Rolls-Royce, or cleverly use the underpinnings of an existing model like the Volkswagen Phaeton for a new Bentley.»
Furthermore, Maybachs were never advertised as owner-driven vehicles, as the company believed that the luxury amenities would be sufficient to drive sales, and they even insisted that auto journalists (who usually test drive the vehicle) ride in the backseat.[8]
Another suggestion for Maybach’s struggles was that parent Daimler had failed to differentiate it from its Mercedes-Benz brand. While all three ultra-luxury marques share platforms and engines with other luxury brands from their parent auto company, Maybachs are built alongside the Mercedes-Benz S-Class flagship sedan, whereas Rolls-Royce and Bentley are assembled in England (separate from the rest of BMW and Volkswagen Group’s respective production plants), and thus are regarded as being more «exclusive». Furthermore, the Maybach’s pedigree was virtually unknown outside of Germany, unlike its British rivals which have long enjoyed renown worldwide;[13] indeed the 2006 Rolls-Royce Phantom’s interior evokes memories of a 1930s car while the Maybach 57S’s inside makes no reference to its marque’s history.[15]
In November 2011, Daimler’s CEO Dieter Zetsche announced that the Maybach-brand would cease to exist in 2012, making room for other models of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The Maybach-limousines were still being sold up to the year 2013, but after that, the name «Maybach» would not be used anymore.[16] On 14 August 2012, parent Daimler AG announced the official discontinuation of Maybach by releasing a price sheet officially discontinuing the Maybach 57, 57S, 62, 62S and Landaulet.[17] On 17 December 2012, the last Maybach vehicle was manufactured in Sindelfingen.[18]
2015–presentEdit
RevivalEdit
The company announced that the line would be replaced by the next-generation of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Model W222, due for the 2014 model year, particularly the long wheelbase S-Class Pullman. An executive told a Frankfurt newspaper that «Daimler came to the conclusion that the sales chances for the Mercedes brand were better than that of Maybach.»[19]
Mercedes-MaybachEdit
Rear seats of a Mercedes-Maybach S 650
In November 2014, Daimler announced the revival of the Maybach name as a sub-brand of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W222), positioned as an upscale version akin to the more sporty Mercedes-AMG sub-brand. In anticipation of its April 2015 launch,[20] the flagship Mercedes-Maybach S600 was unveiled at car shows in Los Angeles, United States, and Guangzhou, China,[21] and the production model at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show.[22] During the facelift, the S 500 and S 550 were redesignated S 560 and the flagship was renamed S 650.
Assembled on the same Sindelfingen line used for the S-Class, the model is targeted against the Bentley Mulsanne and Rolls-Royce Phantom.[23] At 5.453 metres (17.89 ft) long with a wheelbase of 3.365 metres (11.04 ft) (132.5 inches), it is approximately 20 centimetres (7.9 in) longer than the long-wheelbase S-Class models. The Mercedes-Maybach will be available as S500 (S550 in the US) and S600 models, with 4matic all-wheel-drive optional with the V8 engine.[24][25] Acceleration is 0 to 60 miles per hour (0 to 97 km/h) in 5.0 seconds.[26] The base car has several colour finish options and the choice between a three-seat rear bench, or two seats reclining. Options include: air-conditioned, heated and massaging seats; heated armrests; a system to pump scented, ionised air around the cabin; and a 1540 watt Burmester 3D surround sound system with 24 speakers.[23] Maybach S500 assembly in Pune, India, began in September 2015, making India the second country to produce a Maybach.[27][28]
Concept carsEdit
The first Mercedes-Maybach concept car is the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6, a large 2-door coupe with a fully electric drivetrain. The model was unveiled at the 2016 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.[29] The latest concept car is Project MAYBACH, a Mercedes-Maybach S-Class.[30]

Assembled on the same Sindelfingen line used for the S-Class, the model is targeted against the Bentley Mulsanne and Rolls-Royce Phantom.[23] At 5.453 metres (17.89 ft) long with a wheelbase of 3.365 metres (11.04 ft) (132.5 inches), it is approximately 20 centimetres (7.9 in) longer than the long-wheelbase S-Class models. The Mercedes-Maybach will be available as S500 (S550 in the US) and S600 models, with 4matic all-wheel-drive optional with the V8 engine.[24][25] Acceleration is 0 to 60 miles per hour (0 to 97 km/h) in 5.0 seconds.[26] The base car has several colour finish options and the choice between a three-seat rear bench, or two seats reclining. Options include: air-conditioned, heated and massaging seats; heated armrests; a system to pump scented, ionised air around the cabin; and a 1540 watt Burmester 3D surround sound system with 24 speakers.[23] Maybach S500 assembly in Pune, India, began in September 2015, making India the second country to produce a Maybach.[27][28]
Concept cars[edit]
The first Mercedes-Maybach concept car is the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6, a large 2-door coupe with a fully electric drivetrain. The model was unveiled at the 2016 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.[29] The latest concept car is Project MAYBACH, a Mercedes-Maybach S-Class.[30]

Maybach (German: [ˈmaɪbax], MY-bokh)[1] is a German luxury car brand that exists today as a part of Mercedes-Benz. The original company was founded in 1909 by Wilhelm Maybach and his son Karl Maybach, originally as a subsidiary of Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH, and it was known as Luftfahrzeug-Motorenbau GmbH until 1999.
In 1960, Maybach was acquired by Daimler-Benz. The name returned as a standalone ultra-luxury car brand in 2002, sharing significant components with Mercedes-Benz cars. After slow sales, Maybach ceased to be a standalone brand by 2013, and it became (in 2015) a sub-brand of Mercedes-Benz, which is owned by the Mercedes-Benz Group. As of 2021, Daimler produces an ultra-luxury edition of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class under the Mercedes-Maybach name.[2]
1909–1940: Early history[edit]
Wilhelm Maybach was technical director of the Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft (DMG) until he left in 1907. On 23 March 1909, he founded the new company, Luftfahrzeug-Motorenbau GmbH (literally «Aircraft Engine Building Company»), with his son Karl Maybach as director.[citation needed] In 1912, they renamed it to Maybach-Motorenbau GmbH («Maybach Engine Construction Company»). The company originally developed and manufactured diesel and petrol engines for Zeppelins, and then rail cars. Its Maybach Mb.IVa was used in aircraft and airships of World War I.
The company first built an experimental car in 1919, introduced as a production model two years later at the Berlin Motor Show. Between 1921 and 1940, the company produced a variety of opulent vehicles, now regarded as classics. The company also continued to build heavy-duty diesel engines for marine and rail purposes.
Maybach had a British subsidiary, Maybach Gears Ltd, that specialised in gearboxes. In 1938, in conjunction with Dr Henry Merritt, they produced a gearbox and steering system – the ‘Merritt-Maybach’ – for the abortive Nuffield A.16E1 Cruiser tank design.[3]
1940–1945[edit]
During the Second World War, Maybach produced the engines for most of Nazi Germany’s tanks and half-tracks. These included almost all the production tank engines through Panzer I, II, III, IV and V, the Tiger I and II (Maybach HL230) and other heavy tanks: and also engines for half-tracks such as the Sd.Kfz. 251 personnel carrier and prime movers like the Sd.Kfz. 9. The engine plant was one of several industries targeted at Friedrichshafen.
After WW II, the factory performed some repair work, but automotive production was never restarted, and some 20 years later, the company was renamed MTU Friedrichshafen.
1960s[edit]
Daimler-Benz purchased the company in 1960. Post-1960, the company was mainly used to make special editions of Mercedes cars in the W108 and W116 model range, which were virtually hand built. These cars however carried the Mercedes badge and serial numbers.
Rolls-Royce Power Systems AG, based in Friedrichshafen, used to manufacture the commercial Maybach diesel engines under the MTU brand through its subsidiary MTU Friedrichshafen GmbH.[when?]
1997–2013[edit]
Daimler presented a luxury concept car at the 1997 Tokyo Motor Show. A production model based on it was introduced in two sizes – the Maybach 57 and the Maybach 62, reflecting the lengths of the automobiles in decimetres. In 2005 the 57S was added, powered by a 6.0 L V12 bi-turbo engine producing 450 kW (603 hp) and 1,000 N⋅m (738 lbf⋅ft) of torque, and featuring various cosmetic touches.
To promote the new Maybach line, Mercedes-Benz engaged figures such as Maybach heir Ulrich Schmid-Maybach and golfer Nick Faldo to serve as brand ambassadors.[4]
Initially, Daimler-Chrysler predicted annual sales of 2,000 worldwide with 50 per cent coming from the United States; however, these expectations never materialized.[5][6] In 2007, Mercedes bought back 29 US dealers, reducing the total from 71 to 42.[7] In 2010, only 157 Maybachs were sold worldwide, compared to 2,711 similarly priced Rolls-Royces.[8] By the time of the announcement that the brand was to be laid back to rest, 3,000 had been sold worldwide since the brand was revived in 2002.[9]
Daimler announced in November 2011 that Maybach would cease to be a brand by 2013 and manufactured the last Maybach vehicle in December 2012. This was because of poor sales.[10][11]
Cancellation[edit]
With poor sales and the heavy impact of the financial crisis of 2007–2008, Daimler AG undertook a complete review of the Maybach division,[12] approaching Aston Martin to engineer and style the next generation of Maybach models along with the next generation of Lagondas.[13] According to Automotive News, only 44 Maybachs had been sold in the United States in the first ten months of 2011.[14]
An article in Fortune noted that Mercedes had missed out on the chance to purchase Rolls-Royce and Bentley when they were up for sale in the 1990s:
«Mercedes backpedaled and decided it needed to be in the ultra-luxury business too, but it went after it in a remarkably clumsy way.»
It further stated that the first Maybach models had poor driving dynamics compared to its contemporaries from Rolls-Royce and Bentley:
«Mercedes took an aging S-class chassis and plopped an absurdly elongated body on it … rather than develop a new car from the wheels up, as BMW did with Rolls-Royce, or cleverly use the underpinnings of an existing model like the Volkswagen Phaeton for a new Bentley.»
Furthermore, Maybachs were never advertised as owner-driven vehicles, as the company believed that the luxury amenities would be sufficient to drive sales, and they even insisted that auto journalists (who usually test drive the vehicle) ride in the backseat.[8]
Another suggestion for Maybach’s struggles was that parent Daimler had failed to differentiate it from its Mercedes-Benz brand. While all three ultra-luxury marques share platforms and engines with other luxury brands from their parent auto company, Maybachs are built alongside the Mercedes-Benz S-Class flagship sedan, whereas Rolls-Royce and Bentley are assembled in England (separate from the rest of BMW and Volkswagen Group’s respective production plants), and thus are regarded as being more «exclusive». Furthermore, the Maybach’s pedigree was virtually unknown outside of Germany, unlike its British rivals which have long enjoyed renown worldwide;[13] indeed the 2006 Rolls-Royce Phantom’s interior evokes memories of a 1930s car while the Maybach 57S’s inside makes no reference to its marque’s history.[15]
In November 2011, Daimler’s CEO Dieter Zetsche announced that the Maybach-brand would cease to exist in 2012, making room for other models of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The Maybach-limousines were still being sold up to the year 2013, but after that, the name «Maybach» would not be used anymore.[16] On 14 August 2012, parent Daimler AG announced the official discontinuation of Maybach by releasing a price sheet officially discontinuing the Maybach 57, 57S, 62, 62S and Landaulet.[17] On 17 December 2012, the last Maybach vehicle was manufactured in Sindelfingen.[18]
2015–present[edit]
Revival[edit]
The company announced that the line would be replaced by the next-generation of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Model W222, due for the 2014 model year, particularly the long wheelbase S-Class Pullman. An executive told a Frankfurt newspaper that «Daimler came to the conclusion that the sales chances for the Mercedes brand were better than that of Maybach.»[19]

Rear seats of a Mercedes-Maybach S 650
In November 2014, Daimler announced the revival of the Maybach name as a sub-brand of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W222), positioned as an upscale version akin to the more sporty Mercedes-AMG sub-brand. In anticipation of its April 2015 launch,[20] the flagship Mercedes-Maybach S600 was unveiled at car shows in Los Angeles, United States, and Guangzhou, China,[21] and the production model at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show.[22] During the facelift, the S 500 and S 550 were redesignated S 560 and the flagship was renamed S 650.

The Mercedes-Maybach will be available as S500 (S550 in the US) and S600 models, with 4matic all-wheel-drive optional with the V8 engine.[24][25] Acceleration is 0 to 60 miles per hour (0 to 97 km/h) in 5.0 seconds.[26] The base car has several colour finish options and the choice between a three-seat rear bench, or two seats reclining. Options include: air-conditioned, heated and massaging seats; heated armrests; a system to pump scented, ionised air around the cabin; and a 1540 watt Burmester 3D surround sound system with 24 speakers.[23] Maybach S500 assembly in Pune, India, began in September 2015, making India the second country to produce a Maybach.[27][28]

Maybach
Марка Maybach (Майбах) появилась в 1921 году, когда конструктор Wilhelm Maybach сконструировал свой первый автомобиль модели W-3. Эта модель оснащалась 6-цилиндровым двигателем обьемом 5,7 л. и стала первым немецким серийным автомобилем, имевшим тормоза на всех колесах. Следующая модель W-5 уже оснащалась двигателем обьемом 7,0 л. , что позволяло ей достигать скорости 121 км/ч. В 1929 г. Maybach разработал двигатель V12 6,9 л. , а уже в 1930 г. была представлена модель Zeppelin DS-8 с двигателем V12 обьемом 8,0 л. (200 л. с.) . В дальнейшей истории компании присутствовали и более дешевые модели, в 1941 г. производство автомобилей Maybach было завершено. В 1961 г. права на Maybach приобрела компания Daimler Benz, которая в конце 90-х решает возродить забытую марку. В 1997 г. Mercedes-Benz показал коцепт-кар Maybach, основные идеи которого воплотились в серийных моделях 2002 года. Сегодняшний Maybach выпускается в двух версиях — стандартный Maуbach 57 длинной 5,72 метра и удлиненный до 6,16 метра Maуbach 62. Модели оснащаются двигателем V12 с турбонаддувом (550 л. с.) , сам двигатель на манер довоенных Maybach, имеет обозначение Type 12. В ходовой части применены самые современные разработки Mercedes-Benz, использующиеся на автомобилях «высшего класса». В базовой комлектации Maybach есть все необходимое оборудование, список «опций» состоит всего из двух позиций: холодильник в задней части салона и люк в крыше, причем при их заказе не требуется доплачивать. Кузов автомобиля может быть выкрашен в два тона и это тоже входит в стоимость. Официальный сайт компании: www.maybach.com

В 1960 году компания была приобретена концерном Daimler.
В 2002 году было возобновлено производство автомобилей представительского класса под маркой Maybach. Первой моделью возрожденного предприятия стала Maybach 57. В 2005 году был выпущен спорткар Maybach Exelero.
В ноябре 2011 года руководство Daimler приняло решение о сворачивании выпуска автомобилей марки Maybach. Причина — не удалось составить достойную конкуренцию в сегменте элитных авто. Проект так и не вышел на уровень самоокупаемости.
В полдень 14 августа 2012 год компания распространяет прайс-лист на 2013 год, в котором напротив всех моделей стоит пометка — «Снято с производства».
Компания сегодня
Расчётная мощность мануфактуры в Зиндельфингене составляет 1000 автомобилей в год. В 2010 году было произведено 210 автомобилей Maybach против 205 машин годом ранее. В 2011 году продажи автомобилей в России выросли — всего продано 16 машин: 13 «удлинённых» версий и 3 «коротких»[8].
