Just a few days ago, we showed spy photos of a next generation Maybach 62 test mule sporting the extended body of an S-Class. And now our spy snappers have spotted a Maybach 62 wearing a mismatched pair of tail lamps on the streets on Munich. Looking more closely, evidence emerges of a very minor facelift. At the rear of the car, particularly the tail amps, we can see that the left side tailamp is normal with its lower reflector extending below the boot lid across the rear body panel. However, on the right side this reflector is filled with a normal painted panel containing a smaller LED light strip just below the main tail amp lens housing. Also, the front grille has fewer vertical slats.


Maybach 62 Facelift Spied


I have to give it to MB, they aren't giving up on this just yet. If a facelift is to generate some buzz/sales then it needs to be more radical. Then again how much good money do you throw after bad? I wonder if the new Landau will come out before or after this facelift. I'd say after is better.

Blingy Lexus tail lights? Lol, I smell desperation.

My words exactly...

Lovely taillights...

Can't wait for some members to comment on this...

Me too. I really wish I could be a paperclip on the desk during the Daimler board meetings when Maybach comes up.

Maybach's rear wasn't anything special from day one; now, if you ask me, it looks even worse...

Well the 62 has always looked ungainly too me. It suffers from the same problem as the Ferrari 612, it is too damn long.

I don't know if you've seen it Marcus, but they're already working on the next generation Maybach using a W221 S-class for early tests. I like the chop too.

Speculations: First Sighting of New Maybach

The chop is nice but looks too much like an S-class Benz to be a Maybach.
