The current Maybach saloons are self-confident and effortlessly superior, their charisma striking. The exceptional status they enjoy finds its main emphasis in the large chrome radiator grille – which sits virtually vertically, giving it a dominant air – which is meticulously produced in two different variants. In the Maybach 57 and 62 models it has 20 fine longitudinal bars, and in the Maybach 57 S and 62 S twelve solid double louvres and a “shadow strut” flag up the vehicle’s tremendous power. The designers have elevated the bonnet and given it sharply defined contours. It has a contoured edge and appears distinctly arrow-shaped. A horizontally structured bumper trim gives the Maybach saloons a broad look. Daytime running lamps featuring LED technology and bordered with a chrome insert have been integrated into the outer air intakes.

The exterior mirrors with elaborate aerodynamics for less driving noise harmonise with the striking front, whilst their large surface means improved vision. Dark red tail lights and chrome trim used on the handle in the boot lid lend the end section a powerful, distinguished look. This in turn is underlined by high-sheen 21-spoke 19-inch wheels in titanium silver for the Maybach 57 and 62 models. The Maybach 57 S and 62 S models are shod as standard with 12-spoke 20-inch wheels in noble sterling silver.
