Luxury concept car mixes style with comfort

THE Mercedes-Benz Maybach Design Concept unveiled at

“the 32nd Tokyo Motor Show provides a glin:pse of the technol- ogy and features that the carmaker might incorporate into an ultra-luxury model in the near future.

Ar the same time, the car draws on the rich heritage of Mercedes-Benz as a maker of ultra-luxury cars. Even the aame Maybach reaches to the past for inspiration.

The Maybach name goes back nearly as fr in automo- tve histarv as Daimler and Benz. Wilhelm Maybach was

instrumental in the design of

the first Daimler gasoline engine. He later started his own car company, specializing in large, elegant luxury mod- els, the most famous of which was the 12-cylinder Maybach

Zeppelin of the 1930s. Maybach Motoren GmbH has been a part of the

Daimler-Benz group since 1961.

The Mercedes-Benz Maybach Concept. reattirms the carmaker’s commitment to build the best vehicles in every segment in which ic competes, from the small A- Class urban commuter to a

large “absolute luxury” vehi- cle class. While the current

Mercedes-Benz S-Class range of sedans leads the premium luxury segment in terms of technology, room and = fea- tures, the Maybach Design —Foncept takes luxury fo an even higher level.

The Mercedes-Benz Maybach came abour as the resule of extensive research, including interviews with cur- rent owners and analysis of emerging — trends. This research was conducted by the Dainier-Benz Advanced Design Centers in the Cnited States and Japan, which col- laborated on the design of the Maybach.
