When Mercedes made the decision to rebrand its über-luxurious subsidiary from Maybach to Mercedes- Maybach a few years ago, the thought process was clear: In a world of emerging, each offering its own brand of nouveau riche fanciness, Mercedes wanted to remind the world that not only is Maybach amongst the finest purveyors of comfort and understated luxury in the world, but that a Maybach is also still a Mercedes, with all the cachet that carries.
Between the supersmooth acceleration, the silky upshifts, the appropriately quick downshifts , and spectacularly balanced rear-wheel steering, the S680 4Matic achieved a figure-eight lap time of 24.7 seconds at an average of 0.78 g. The equivalent Bentley, the Flying Spur W12, did it in 24.2 at 0.80 g, but perspective is perhaps better provided by the fact the S680 achieved the same lap time as the Acura Integra Type-S.
It is a time of shifting change for the automotive industry, and nowhere is that felt more so than in car interiors, with each manufacturer having its own thoughts and timelines on what and when their products’ interiors will modernize, minimize, and revolutionize.
