The Last Maybach Ever Built
Some automobiles are remembered for their performance.
Others achieve legendary status through their rarity.
The Maybach 62 S Landaulet belongs to an even smaller category—cars whose significance extends beyond engineering to represent the closing chapter of an entire marque.
Introduced as the ultimate expression of modern chauffeur-driven luxury, the Maybach 62 S Landaulet revived one of the most prestigious body styles in automotive history while showcasing everything Daimler could offer at the pinnacle of automotive craftsmanship. Combining limousine comfort with the open-air elegance traditionally reserved for monarchs and heads of state, it quickly established itself as one of the most exclusive luxury automobiles of the twenty-first century.
Yet the example offered here is unlike any other.
Not only is it one of just 22 Maybach 62 S Landaulets ever produced, but it is also the only right-hand-drive example, one of only four facelift models, the only Maybach ever assembled entirely by hand outside the factory production line, and, perhaps most significantly, the very last Maybach built before production came to an end in 2013.
Showing just 2,300 kilometers from new and presented in outstanding condition, this remarkable limousine represents one of the rarest opportunities currently available in the international collector market.
For enthusiasts of historically significant luxury automobiles, opportunities simply do not become more exclusive.
The Return of the Landaulet
Long before the automobile became a symbol of prestige, Europe’s aristocracy travelled in horse-drawn landaulet carriages that allowed distinguished passengers to enjoy open-air travel while remaining sheltered from the driver.
When motorcars replaced carriages, the concept naturally evolved.
Throughout the early decades of the twentieth century, manufacturers including Maybach, Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Benz and several bespoke coachbuilders produced magnificent Landaulets for royal households, diplomats and political leaders. Their defining characteristic remained unchanged: a permanently enclosed driver’s compartment combined with a folding roof over the rear passenger cabin.
As limousine design evolved during the post-war years, the Landaulet gradually disappeared from production.
For decades it survived only in ceremonial state vehicles.
Then, in 2008, Maybach unexpectedly revived the concept.
Rather than recreating the past, the company reimagined the Landaulet for the modern era, combining contemporary engineering, cutting-edge technology and uncompromising luxury with one of the oldest coachbuilding traditions ever created.
The result was unlike anything else on the road.
While competitors focused on high-performance limousines or ultra-luxurious saloons, the Maybach 62 S Landaulet occupied an entirely unique position, offering a level of exclusivity that even Rolls-Royce and Bentley could not match at the time.
Maybach’s Ultimate Chauffeur Limousine
Stretching beyond six metres in length, the 62 S Landaulet was conceived with one purpose above all else: providing the finest possible experience for those travelling in the rear.
Every aspect of the vehicle was engineered around passenger comfort.
Its adaptive air suspension isolated occupants from virtually every imperfection in the road surface, while extensive sound insulation transformed the cabin into an exceptionally quiet environment, even at motorway speeds.
Unlike traditional luxury saloons, however, the Landaulet introduced something entirely unexpected.
At the touch of a button, the electrically operated rear fabric roof folds away to reveal the passenger compartment to the outside world, creating an experience more commonly associated with ceremonial state processions than modern production automobiles.
Meanwhile, the chauffeur remains beneath a permanently fixed roof, preserving the classic proportions and architecture that have defined Landaulets for well over a century.
The result is a vehicle capable of transforming effortlessly from an enclosed executive limousine into one of the world’s most exclusive open-air luxury automobiles.
Even today, no production vehicle offers quite the same experience.
AMG Twin-Turbo V12 Performance
Despite weighing almost 2.9 tonnes, the Maybach 62 S Landaulet possesses performance figures that remain impressive even by modern standards.
Power comes from AMG’s renowned 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged V12, an engine developed to deliver effortless performance rather than outright aggression.
For this unique example, factory engineers increased output to an impressive 630 horsepower, making it even more powerful than the standard production model.
Equally significant is the immense torque available throughout the rev range.
Producing up to 1,000 Nm, the V12 delivers seamless acceleration with remarkable refinement, allowing the limousine to gather speed with an almost imperceptible sense of effort.
Power is transferred to the rear wheels through a smooth five-speed automatic transmission specifically calibrated to prioritise comfort while still delivering immediate response whenever required.
Performance figures remain remarkable considering the vehicle’s dimensions:
- 6.0-Liter AMG Twin-Turbocharged V12
- Factory-Upgraded 630 Horsepower
- 1,000 Nm of Torque
- Rear-Wheel Drive
- Five-Speed Automatic Transmission
- 0–100 km/h in under 6 seconds
- Top Speed electronically limited to 250 km/h
Rather than encouraging aggressive driving, the drivetrain perfectly complements the Landaulet’s character, delivering effortless high-speed cruising and near-silent progress over vast distances.
It is an engineering philosophy rooted not in outright speed, but in absolute refinement.
A Rear Cabin Reserved for Royalty
While the mechanical engineering is deeply impressive, the true masterpiece of the Maybach 62 S Landaulet lies behind the partition separating driver and passengers.
Every surface has been crafted to create an environment more comparable to a private lounge than the interior of an automobile.
The electrically adjustable individual rear seats offer reclining, massage, heating, ventilation and memory functions, allowing occupants to travel in complete comfort regardless of journey length.
The extensive Exclusive Beige leather upholstery is complemented by beautifully finished carbon fibre and piano lacquer trim, while deep lambswool carpets add yet another layer of refinement beneath your feet.
Privacy has always been central to the Landaulet philosophy, and Maybach equipped the cabin accordingly.
An electrochromic glass partition separates passengers from the chauffeur at the touch of a button, while rear curtains further enhance discretion whenever required.
Luxury extends well beyond seating comfort.
A refrigerated compartment keeps champagne perfectly chilled, accompanied by genuine silver-plated champagne flutes specially created for the vehicle. Folding tables allow occupants to work while travelling, adaptive ambient lighting transforms the atmosphere after dark, and a centrally mounted LED display connected to a forward-facing camera provides passengers with a clear view of the road ahead without compromising their privacy.
Few production automobiles have ever offered such a complete interpretation of chauffeur-driven luxury.
The Last Maybach Ever Built
Every limited-production automobile has a story.
Very few have one capable of changing the way collectors view the model altogether.
This Maybach 62 S Landaulet is not simply another example from an already ultra-exclusive production run—it represents the final chapter of the original Maybach revival.
By late 2012, Daimler had already decided to discontinue the Maybach brand. Production was winding down, the future of the marque had been determined, and the assembly line responsible for building the world’s most luxurious German limousine had begun to disappear.
It was at this moment that Maybach’s most loyal customer approached the Daimler Executive Board with an extraordinary request.
Having already acquired numerous Maybach models throughout the brand’s modern history, the client wished to commission one final automobile as the ultimate farewell to the marque—a unique right-hand-drive 62 S Landaulet unlike any built before.
The request was approved.
Because the standard production line had already been dismantled, this final car could not be assembled alongside other vehicles.
Instead, it received something no other modern Maybach had ever experienced.
An individual workstation was created exclusively for its construction, where skilled craftsmen completed the limousine entirely by hand. It became the only Maybach of the modern era assembled outside the normal production process, transforming an already rare automobile into a genuine factory-built one-off.
Its uniqueness extended far beyond its steering position.
As one of only four facelift Landaulets ever completed, the car also benefited from the final evolution of the model, incorporating numerous exclusive details unavailable on earlier examples.
Adding further significance, the dashboard carries a hand-stitched Wilhelm Maybach signature, a discreet yet powerful reminder of the brand’s extraordinary heritage.
Few production automobiles can legitimately claim to represent the closing chapter of an entire manufacturer.
This one does exactly that.
One of Just Twenty-Two
Exclusivity has always been central to the Maybach philosophy.
Even by those standards, the 62 S Landaulet occupies exceptionally rare territory.
Production was limited to just twenty-two examples worldwide, making it considerably rarer than many of today’s headline hypercars.
Within those twenty-two cars, only four were built in facelift specification.
Among those four, only one was configured with right-hand drive.
And among every Maybach ever produced between 2002 and 2013, only this example was assembled entirely by hand after production had officially ceased.
Its rarity can therefore be summarised simply:
- One of only 22 Maybach 62 S Landaulets
- One of only 4 facelift examples
- The only right-hand-drive Landaulet
- The last Maybach ever built
- The only Maybach hand-built outside the factory production line
Few collector cars combine production rarity with such historical importance.
Extraordinary Factory Specification
Beyond its historical significance, this Landaulet also benefits from one of the most extensive factory specifications fitted to any modern Maybach.
The exterior is finished in elegant Antigua White, a colour perfectly suited to the limousine’s timeless proportions and ceremonial presence.
Further distinguishing features include the distinctive Zeppelin-style split exhaust outlets, bespoke leather cover for the folding Landaulet roof with unique stitching, authentic chromed door-lock pins, and factory blue emergency lights, a feature more commonly associated with official state vehicles.
Inside, virtually every luxury option available was specified.
Carbon fibre and piano lacquer trim complement the Exclusive Beige leather interior, while premium ambient lighting, folding rear tables, refrigerated champagne compartment, silver-plated champagne flutes, adaptive suspension, rear-view camera, Keyless-Go, Bi-Xenon headlights and advanced COMAND navigation further reinforce the limousine’s flagship status.
Every detail reflects the philosophy that defined Maybach during its final years: if something could improve comfort, craftsmanship or exclusivity, it was included.
Carefully Preserved Provenance
The provenance of this extraordinary automobile is equally impressive.
Completed in early 2013, the car was first delivered to Switzerland, where it immediately joined one of the world’s most important private Maybach collections.
For years, it remained almost entirely unused, serving as a centrepiece rather than a means of transportation.
Despite its limited mileage, the original owner ensured the car received regular maintenance through authorised Maybach service centres, preserving both its mechanical condition and originality.
In 2021, the vehicle was acquired by Mechatronik before being exported to Japan.
There, it continued to receive meticulous care while being driven only occasionally.
Following another comprehensive service in 2025, the Landaulet returned once again to Mechatronik during the summer of 2026.
Today, showing just 2,300 kilometres from new, it remains in exceptional condition and presents collectors with the opportunity to acquire arguably the most historically significant modern Maybach ever offered publicly.
The Ultimate Modern Maybach
Collectors often seek automobiles capable of telling a story beyond simple rarity.
The finest examples represent milestones in automotive history—cars that define the beginning or end of an era.
The Maybach 62 S Landaulet undoubtedly belongs within that category.
It revived one of the most prestigious body styles ever created, represented the absolute pinnacle of Maybach luxury, and concluded the brand’s first modern chapter with a car unlike any before it.
Its combination of historical significance, handcrafted construction, extraordinarily limited production and unique factory provenance elevates it far beyond the role of an ultra-luxury limousine.
It is, quite simply, one of the most important collector Maybachs ever built.
For discerning collectors seeking the ultimate expression of modern Maybach exclusivity, opportunities of this calibre are exceptionally unlikely to appear again.
