Luxury and performance - the two sides of the German car industry. Today, we have photos of the all-new Maybach S-Class and BMW M3, both bringing completely opposing quantities of the two.
The M3 is undoubtedly the star of the show. After initial apprehension around the downsizing of the engine, the old F80 generation proved to be a home run for BMW, and the new model should be even better.
A new version of the familiar 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine promises to deliver even more power than before, up to 503 hp (510 PS) with the Performance package. This will be matched to an available AWD system and 8-speed auto. The M3 will remain one of the few M models available with a manual gearbox, though this will likely be part of a special model range called the "M3 Pure."
German automakers like to test all their cars at the Nurburgring, even the ones that you're not supposed to drive yourself. Such is the case with the all-new Maybach S-Class.
It's got all kind of clever technology to keep it cornering super-flat. It's this kind of technology that sets Maybach apart from its rivals. Well, that plus the amazing interiors.
We've got numerous sightings showing a gigantic infotainment screen covering almost the entire dashboard of the new S-Class W223 generation. This will control most of the car's functions, but you'll also have the option to use the AI and "tell" the car what to do.
Engine-wise, the Maybach will probably be first-served in S 600 flavor. This powertrain has already been presented in the Maybach GLS 600, a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 that features EQ Boost magic and a total output of 550 hp plus 538 lb-ft of torque.
However, Mercedes has confirmed that the V12 will live on in the S-Class, probably the S 680. We believe markets like China also need to offer a six-cylinder or a hybrid to comply with emissions targets.
