A Maybach that pumps out SL65 AMG numbers

Old stodgy car? Not when AMG gets ahold of it. Mercedes-Benz tuner house, AMG, has taken Maybach?s ?starter model,? under its wing to reshape it into the swan it knew it could be. The twin turbochargers blast the Maybach to 60 in under 5 seconds when utilizing the 612 horses and 738 lb.-ft. torque it has on tap.

Interior and exterior style modifications have also been made to differentiate the vehicle from its less refined sibling, including ride height, 20 inch dubs, and fancier front and rear accessories.

AMG Drops 612 Horses Into Maybach 57S
Date posted: 12-02-2005

STUTTGART, Germany ? If you thought "Maybach" and "sporty" were mutually exclusive terms, you probably forgot that parent DaimlerChrysler owns tuning house AMG. Thus, it was a small matter to create the Maybach 57S, a high-performance edition of the brand's "starter" model.

What sort of performance? The twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 engine has been massaged to deliver 612 horsepower, while torque is electronically limited to a mere 738 pound-feet. That's good enough to propel the mini-limousine from rest to 60 in just under 5 seconds, with top speed nudged to around 170 miles per hour.

AMG also has buttoned down the suspension and lowered the ride height by 15mm, while retuning the adaptive damping and electronic stability control systems.

You'll spot the ?ber-Maybach by its fancier grille and headlamps, rear apron with trapezoidal exhaust outlets, unique 20-inch spoked wheels, and single-tone black or silver paint scheme. If you peek inside the cockpit, you'll also note tasteful applications of carbon fiber and piano black lacquer trim among the subtle modifications.

What this means to you: When you're spending this kind of cheddar, you might as well tack on as many extras as possible.

It's still hideous - quick for sure, and super-grunty, but it can't outrun it's looks
 
Yes this is old but now there are actually test of it around ;) But it's not that interesting in my eyes, it only has 62 more horses and a slightly different styling, not even worth a discussion ;)
