2002 Maybach 62

"Mercedes-Benz and Maybach – during the 1920s and 1930s these two were the leading luxury car brands in Germany. And they will be again in future. A synthesis of pioneering Mercedes developments with typical Maybach exclusivity and individuality has produced an incomparable object of prestige: the new Maybach. With more than 100 years of experience and great technical expertise in the development and production of luxury motor cars, DaimlerChrysler is predestined to resurrect the name Maybach and fulfil the wishes of customers at the very top of a small but highly exclusive market segment."

"As in former years the name Maybach will once again become a byword for consummate automotive exclusivity and elegance. We feel we have an obligation to maintain the reputation of this legendary luxury brand. The new Maybach sets standards in the world of top-class automobiles in every respect – with its technical perfectionism, stylish elegance and incomparable luxury. Personal attention to every customer with respect to the configuration and appointments of this vehicle, as well as the ability to meet the most demanding personal requirements through skilled craftsmanship in a modern manufacturing facility, make each example of the new Maybach a unique, tailor-made masterpiece."

"In the 1920s and 1930s the name Maybach was a synonym for the highest stylistic and technical perfection on wheels. The same ambitious aims inspired our engineers during the development of the new Maybach. The high-end luxury motor car benefits from the innovative strength and trailblazing new developments of its sister-brand Mercedes-Benz. A smooth transfer of know-how within the Mercedes-Benz Technology Center (MTC) ensures that in important technical areas such as safety, reliability, durability, innovation and design the new Maybach provides what discerning customers all over the world appreciate: well-proven Mercedes quality."

"High technology and craftsmanship form a unique combination during the production of the new Maybach. They result in the highest level of perfection and precision. At the plant in Sindelfingen, where top-class cars have been made for over 80 years, we have created a modern manufactory, or hand-crafting facility. Here, a large number of prototypes were built during the development phase, and it is here that production of the Maybach for customers is starting in the autumn – each car a unique creation built to the personal taste and individual requirements of its owner. High technology is particularly predominant in bodyshell production, where we have developed new processes to produce the aluminium doors using lasers, for example. These processes are being premiered with the new Maybach."
