Even thought Daimler decided to drop the unsuccessful Maybach->ke52 brand, tuners still show interest in the luxury limousine. Florida-based tuner Knight Luxury came up with a very cool "Sir Maybach 57S->ke1854" tuning kit that shows that even now, the 57S still has strong potential.

As expected, the tuner decided to update the exterior and the interior look of the limousine, but it also made some important changes under the hood. This is where the tuner installed a four-pipe sports exhaust system with valve control and Rennkats that increases the final output up to 712 horsepower -- an healthy increase over the 543 horsepower found in the standard model.

All the exterior additions were made from carbon fiber and they include new front and rear aprons with integrated LED daytime running lights, a new hood and trunk lid, rear diffuser and a new rear spoiler. For good measure, the tuner also swapped out the stock engine cover for a carbon-fiber one.

Maybach 57S by Knight Luxury in Detail

The car rides on 24-inch wheels with the same carbon-finish treatment and black powder wrapped in Pirelli tires sized 285/30R24. White brake calipers contrast the wheels nicely and an electronic level control drops the model closer to the ground.

As expected, interior updates increase car's level of luxury considerably. These updates include an ergonomically shaped sports steering wheel with red Kederrand, a white carbon leather dashboard, and doors, foot space and door sills with diamond stitching.

The seats, center console and floor mats all feature embroidered "Knight" logos. The trunk is also covered in leather with carbon diamond stitching and an embroidered logo.

Even the door knobs received screen-printed logos, while the full interior is trimmed in a sleek combination of black and red.

Knight installed an Apple entertainment system that includes an Apple TV module and two iPads sith Apple keyboard in the rear of the car.
