The W240 Maybach reestablished Mercedes-Benz's ultra-luxury marque after a 60-year hiatus, combining handcrafted excellence with modern automotive technology.
Development began in 1997 as Mercedes-Benz sought to reclaim the Maybach heritage with a bespoke limousine platform featuring completely exclusive engineering.
The W240 debuted at the 2002 Paris Motor Show in both 57 and 62 wheelbase variants, establishing new standards for personalized luxury transportation.
Production concluded in 2013 after manufacturing approximately 3,200 units, with each example representing the pinnacle of hand-assembled automotive craftsmanship.
