The Maybach 57 and 57S

Maybach's smaller models, the 57 and 57 are considered by most to be driver's cars. Everything you would ever want, and more is offered as option on these cars. If it's not offered the Maybach Studio in Sindilfingen will surely be able to accommodate your needs. The "S" in the 57S doesn't stand for sport, it stands for Special. The S is two inches longer and has a performance engine (Below in the specs, the 57S's engine specs are in bold to the right). They are simply extraordinary cars.
