For the Maybach 62, an optional glass partition between the front and rear sections operates at the touch of a button to separate the front and rear sections of the vehicle. For added privacy, a curtain can be drawn across it. When so equipped, the Maybach 62 ... includes an intercom to allow the rear passengers and the chauffeur to communicate. A classic touch in the rear compartment of both Maybach models is a binnacle between the B-pillars that houses an auxiliary speedometer, outside temperature gauge and clock.

A Maybach is mainly hand-crafted. The special character of this unique vehicle is significantly determined by this extraordinary and extravagant production process. There is no machine as perfect, intuitive and reliable as the people who produce an automotive masterpiece in the Maybach-Manufaktur.

Two models will be offered - the Maybach 57 and the Maybach 62. As with luxury yachts, the badging denotes vehicle length in meters (5.73 and 6.17 meters). The Maybach 57 is 225.3 inches long on a 133.5-inch wheelbase. The Maybach 62, which will account for about 15 percent of sales, measures 242.5 inches long on a 150.7-inch wheelbase, making it the longest production automobile in the world. Both models provide an extraordinary driving experience, although the Maybach 62 has been designed with chauffeur driving in mind.
