mercedes-Benz’s ultra-luxury brand, Maybach, has unveiled a new limited-edition model that represents the pinnacle of the brand: the Maybach V12 Edition. Based on the existing S 680 model and a modern continuation of the legendary ‘Maybach Zeppelin’ of the 1930s, the model is limited to just 50 examples worldwide, maximizing its scarcity. We take a closer look at everything about this special edition, which is more than just a car – it’s an art form.

The silver pinstripe that separates the two colors is so intricately hand-painted that it took ten days to apply.

The crown jewel of the car is the decoration on the rear center console. A pattern of 12 circles symbolizing the V12 engine is adorned with golden inlays, and it reportedly took up to seven days of manual labor to complete this detail alone. a ‘1 of 50’ limited edition badge is affixed to the center console, adding to the value of ownership.
