Maybach honored
Receives the "Five Star Diamond Award"
Honour bestowed by the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences:
Maybach receives the "Five Star Diamond Award"
- First time that this prestigious award has gone to a make of car
- Conferred for "perfectly encapsulating a sense of fascination and legend"
Maybach has become the first make of car ever to be honoured with this year’s "Five Star Diamond Award" presented by the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences. The accolade, which has hitherto been reserved primarily for the world's top luxury hotels and restaurants, has been conferred on the high-end luxury car marque for "perfectly encapsulating a sense of fascination and legend". The coveted title will be going to one of the most exclusive prestige saloons in the world, which succeeds in harmoniously blending impeccable quality with out-standing technological sophistication and a timelessly elegant design. Maybach is also being honoured for its peerless sales concept, which is designed to ensure taylor-made customer service for the extremely discerning clientele.
Just last year, the luxury automobile marque enjoyed a revival that was closely followed worldwide. More than 60 years after the first era of Maybach drew to a close, the newly developed high-end luxury saloons - the Maybach 57 and Maybach 62 - are again redefining standards at the very pinnacle of the passenger car market. At the same time, they are perpetuating the tradition of the legendary Maybach models which together with Mercedes-Benz formed part of the elite of German and indeed international automobile manufacture during the 1920s and 1930s. The array of sophisticated technological features boasted by the present models serves to underscore Maybach's billing as being the ultimate that the automobile industry has to offer. These features include the 405-kW/550-hp "Type 12" powerplant, whose maximum output and torque are unmatched by any other series-production engine to be fitted in a saloon car, a 600-watt sound system including Dolby surround sound for all passengers to enjoy, plus the new and immensely comfortable aircraft-style reclining seats fitted exclusively in the rear of the Maybach 62. The very latest in office and communications technology can also be integrated into the Maybach as an option, allowing it to be converted into a "personal jet on wheels" as it were.
The seemingly endless lists of standard and optional equipment present Maybach customers with an almost unlimited number of ways of tailoring their saloon ex-actly to their personal tastes. In addition to this, individual requests for more exotic design features can be incorporated too. To make all this possible, the Maybach saloons are built in the Manufaktur, a state-of-the-art custom-manufacturing facility, where up to five vehicles a day reach completion.
