Mercedes-Benz has officially revealed the Mercedes-Maybach V12 Edition, a rare masterpiece that honors the legendary V12 engine — a symbol of Maybach’s heritage since the early 1900s.

This ultra-limited edition of the S-Class will be restricted to only 50 units worldwide, making it one of the most exclusive sedans ever produced.

A Celebration of the V12 Legacy

The launch took place on September 23rd at the iconic Forte Michelangelo in Italy, in front of VIP guests and the international press.

Daniel Lescow, Head of Mercedes-Maybach at Mercedes-Benz Group, highlighted the importance of the project:

“With roots dating back to the Maybach Zeppelin models of the early 20th century, this edition celebrates the iconic V12 engine. It offers a bespoke design through the MANUFAKTUR program, reflecting a tradition of combining advanced technology and exclusive style. Creating only the best of the best, with lasting value, in the highest form of perfection.”
