Mercedes-Maybach S 680 (Z223)
It is somewhat surprising that Daimler no large media spectacle around the new flagship, which is part of a tradition with the 770 and the 600. Daimler has published over 40 photos of the new luxury car, but a multi-page press release is missing so far.
There are probably good reasons for this, on the one hand the interested parties will probably not care what marketing has to say about the new luxury sled and on the other hand Daimler may not want to make too much of the new model with V12 engine. Daimler is currently more interested in its new electric model, the Eqsto place in the luxury league. For this reason, the EQS started production in Sindelfingen as usual and quite pompous communicates. Or is it frowned upon nowadays NEW Vehicle with a thirsty twelve-cylinder (Consumption values 14.1-13,3 liters / CO2 emissions 322-305 g / km) to introduce? At least determine downsizing, Electromobility and Fake exhaust sounds meanwhile the car world.

On a published photo can also be the engine compartment and the huge 6,0-liter engine V12 (not electrified / with 48-volt electrical system) should be examined more closely. However, Daimler has not yet published any further technical details.
Experts estimate, however, that the new luxury sleigh is around the 630 PS on the street and about a Torque of 1.000 Newton meters disposes. And the sales release for the S680 as well as for the S580 could already be on May 18.5.2021, 2021 (production from July 680). The net list sales price for the S 182.625 should be 580 euros and the S 138.290 will probably start at 65 euros. In addition, there is speculation about the drive of the luxury body.
