The Mercedes-Maybach might be old news by now, but one can not simply underestimate the limo’s distinguished karma. It goes the same for us, so a quick photoshoot with the “choice of a gentleman” had to be carried out at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show.
We previously called it the Wolf of Wall Street but since Mercedes is looking to attract a lot of Chinese customers with the S600 and S500 versions of the luxurious limousine, a new name might be needed. But who really cares about that when the flagship is powered by a 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 that works hard like a corporate employee so that the CEO can benefit from the 523 HP output and 612 lb-ft of torque (830 Nm)? That's right, nobody.

That being said, please be worried that your fancy Armani suit and Harvey Specter attitude might not look that flawless after the Mercedes-Maybach S600 shows you what it can really do. That is, shoot from 0 to 100 km/h in 5 seconds and go straight to a limited top speed of 130 mph (210 km/h). Of course, you might consider firing you driver but hey, it’s a hard knock life.

By the way, we’re not expecting Jay-Z to make another video for his Otis track, this time vandalizing the Mercedes-Maybach S600 but the limo’s interior should be able to satisfy even the most demanding customers. Rear passenger comfort is off-the-roof and besides the standard spoils provided by the individual seats, Maybach can fit articulated tables, cooling and warming cup holders and footrests into the front seats’ backs.

The new Burmester 3D surround system will definitely make a statement about who you are and we're pretty sure it can even turn the average Justin Bieber song into a musical masterpiece. We're just kidding, it wasn't designed to support that crap.

So be patient, as in one month’s time, the Mercedes-Maybach S600 will celebrate its launch in America, where customers will buy it as a 2016 model year for as starting price of $189,350.
