About the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class Z223
The Z223 generation Mercedes-Maybach S 680 represents the final sanctuary for the manufacturer's 6.0-litre V12 engine, now paired with all-wheel drive for the first time. It features a wheelbase extended by 18cm over the standard S-Class, dedicated entirely to rear-seat legroom and opulence. The cabin is a masterclass in isolation, utilizing active road noise compensation and Burmester 4D surround sound to create a serene environment. While its performance is effortless, the S 680 is defined by its 'Maybach' drive mode, which prioritises second-gear starts and dampened throttle response for maximum passenger comfort.
