EVEN back when it was launched on the market two years ago, Maybach was already offering its customers more than two million equipment choices for its Type 62 and Type 57 limousines.

Now the high-end luxury brand has once again extended its range of optional equipment ex-works. The new features include customised business packages and vehicles configured especially for use by luxury hotels. "We are consistently moving ahead with our successful individualisation strategy and can now fulfil even the most unusual customer requests," says Leon Hustinx, director of sales and marketing at Maybach. "This means that now, more than ever, every Maybach is completely unique." Maybach developers have also fulfilled a special customer wish in a concept vehicle for the Maybach Type 57 model by plating all chrome trimming with gold, more specifically with an extremely thin layer of 24-carat gold.

This gold plating lends the Maybach limousine's interior a particular brilliance that harmonises perfectly with the concept vehicle's high-quality wood trim and Maybach leather. The trims were also painted with gold lacquer that matches the gold in the interior, with the paint being applied by way of a completely new, special process. The experience gained through this project has provided the Maybach specialists with the expertise required to be perfectly prepared for even the most exclusive customer demands in the future.

Typical special solutions requested by customers include family arms or initials in prominent locations in the Maybach's interior. Maybach also offers on request - and not only to automobile enthusiasts and collectors - the possibility of integrating the relief-type double "M" Maybach emblem in the door trim leather as a means of expressing the owner's special identification with the brand.Over two million equipment choices and 24-carat gold available for interior fittings.
