The Mercedes-Benz Maybach S 600 was a variant of the W222 S-Class Sedan that was introduced for the 2015 model year. The S600 was also offered in base trim level, with the Maybach representing a very high level of luxury over the already luxurious standard S600. The Mercedes-Benz Maybach S600 was powered by Mercedes' M277 E 60 AL engine, which was a 6.0L twin-turbo V12 that had an output of 523hp and 612 lb ft of torque. Drive from the engine was sent to the rear wheels via a 7 speed automatic transmission.
