Mercedes Benz S600: Pure Riding Pleasure
By Georgi Maksimovna Wolfe
ANY tired and sleep-starved CEO may simply fall asleep the moment he sits at the rear passenger compartment of the 2016 Mercedes Benz Maybach S600.
Daimler describes both rear seats like business-class seats on an aircraft, recline, and in tandem with extending footrests, they make it work easily, watch an HD movie, or simply fall asleep. Daimler claims it offers the quietest rear passenger compartment of any car in production anywhere in the world.
The Maybach S600 is powered by a 6.0-liter twin-turbon V-12, 32-valve engine, with 523 “galloping horses” under its hood. It can zoom from 0 to 100 in under 5.0 seconds.
This mouth-watering luxury car offers Intelligent Drive Systems that include PRESAFE Brake, with pedestrian detection, DISTRONIC PLUS with steering assist, Stop-and-Go-Pilot, Brake Assist BAS PLUS, and Cross-Traffic Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive High Beam Assistance Plus, and Night Blue Assist Plus. An Air Bag for Seatbelts: the Beltbag is an Inflatable Seatbelt Strap that reduces the load on the ribcage in a front impact and is thus is able to reduce the risk of injury in the passengers in the rear.
When it comes to aerodynamics, nothing beats this car that offers absolute comfort and safety. Its drag coefficient is similar to other high-end S models. Consider these data from the manufacturer:
Key features of the front end design:
· Dominant radiator trim with large radiator opening and three double louvres in chrome
· Subtle vertical chrome trim
· Double trim in the air intakes on the right and left
· Double trim in the bottom end piece of the bumpers
· The emphatic design for the sides draws to an effective conclusion at the rear. The chrome double louvres deployed at the front are continued in the rear area, emphasizing high quality and elegance.
· Key features of the rear end design:
· Horizontal lines emphasize the vehicle’s width
· Two tailpipe trim elements in chrome integrated into the bumper with vertical partition
· Chrome double louvres in the bottom section of the bumper covering add the perfect finishing touch to the vehicle
· Maybach lettering on the boot lid (mounted on the left in direction of travel)
The Maybach is priced at under US$200,000.00 in the United States and will be available in April 2015.

When it comes to aerodynamics, nothing beats this car that offers absolute comfort and safety. Its drag coefficient is similar to other high-end S models. Consider these data from the manufacturer:
- A whole raft of aerodynamic optimisations has been implemented:
- Wheel spoilers with aerodynamically optimised contour ahead of the front wheels
- Large area of cladding on the rear axle
- Aerodynamically efficient design of the front and rear aprons and the rear spoiler
- Optimised exterior mirror design with mirror base
- Sealed headlamp surrounds
- Improved sealing of the radiator section and flow properties to make efficient use of the available cooling air
- Streamlined water drainage channels
- Speed-dependent lowering of the vehicle by up to 20 mm
- Spoiler lip on each tail light
- Aerodynamically optimised underbody with extensive engine compartment and underbody paneling
