Mercedes-Benz S650

The 2021 Mercedes-Maybach S650 represents the pinnacle of automotive luxury, building upon its predecessor with significant technical and comfort enhancements. While maintaining the iconic 6.0L biturbo V12 engine (now producing 621 bhp and 1,003.5 Nm torque), this model introduces a new 9G-Tronic automatic transmission (up from 7-speed) for smoother power delivery and improved fuel efficiency. The Magic Body Control system has been upgraded with Road Surface Scan technology, using stereo cameras to actively adjust suspension up to 1,000 times per second - a 30% improvement in reaction time ove...r previous models. New to this generation is the Energizing Comfort Control system, which synchronizes climate, massage, fragrance, and ambient lighting (now with 64 colors vs. previous 7) to create tailored wellness programs. The rear Executive Lounge package features new zero-gravity seats with 43 different massage programs and calf-rests - a first in automotive design. Compared to the 2020 model, this version adds Digital Light headlamps with 2.6 million micro-mirrors per unit for precision illumination and projection capabilities. The Burmester High-End 3D Surround Sound now features 31 speakers (up from 24) with resonance chamber door panels. Practical improvements include 50% faster wireless charging and new Maybach-specific driver assistance systems like Active Lane Change Assist 2.0. Despite its 2,495 kg kerb weight, the S650 achieves 0-62 mph in 4.7 seconds through improved turbocharger geometry and reduced backpressure exhaust. The handcrafted interior showcases new Designo Black Piano Lacquer trim with integrated Maybach-branded OLED touch controls, replacing traditional buttons. Chauffeur-focused upgrades include a 40° rear seat recline (5° more than before) and thermal cup holders that maintain temperatures for 3 hours. This model also debuts the first automotive use of active noise cancellation through the audio system, reducing cabin noise by 12dB at highway speeds.show more
