What is the relationship between the Mercedes-Benz S600 and the Maybach S600?
1 Answers
Maybach is a brand under Mercedes-Benz, and the Maybach S600 is an upgraded model based on the Mercedes-Benz S600. The Mercedes-Benz S600 has a more business-oriented appeal, while the Mercedes-Maybach S600 takes luxury and indulgence to the next level, reflecting some differences in positioning. Here are some details about the Mercedes-Benz S600: 1. The Mercedes-Benz S600 is the top model of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (the S65 AMG does not belong to the S-Class, as models with AMG are classified under the AMG level). It is equipped with a new V12 engine with a displacement of 5.5 liters. 2. To maintain tradition, the manufacturer still uses "600" to designate the model, and the S600 is only available in a long-wheelbase version. 3. Apart from retaining the traditional 60-degree cylinder angle, this new V12 engine shares no similarities with its predecessor. Each cylinder has three valves instead of four, driven by a single overhead camshaft. Additionally, its emissions comply with the D4 standard. 4. Thanks to the manual suspension system, the S600 significantly reduces body sway when encountering uneven road conditions, ensuring safety even during high-speed evasive maneuvers. At the same time, the S600 luxury sedan, equipped with a manual suspension system, offers suspension comfort comparable to any S-Class model with an air suspension system (Airmatic).
