Following its successful world premiere at the Middle East International Motor Show in Dubai last November, Maybach luxury brand is adding the Landaulet to its model line-up.
"Maybach revived the aura and era of the grand carriages with its Landaulet study shown for the first time in Dubai," said Chris Vallance, regional sales manager, Maybach and SLR, Mercedes-Benz Cars, Middle East and Levant. "The public response to this masterpiece was overwhelming and now Maybach will offer the hand-built Landaulet based exclusively on the customer's own specifications."
The Landaulet offers a majestic open-air experience unrivalled by any other automobile. Boasting a romantic quality and allowing its passengers the opportunity to savour a closeness to nature, this exceptional vehicle also features the ultimate in comfort and technological sophistication and as such sets new standards for the world's most exclusive luxury vehicles.
A limited number of vehicles will be built in the Manufaktur workshops in Sindelfingen. The finest materials are painstakingly handcrafted by select craftsmen to meet the customers' exacting requirements.
The Landaulet is a masterpiece of automotive engineering and comes with its very own distinguished yet authentic style. While the chauffeur's workplace is appointed with high-grade, smooth black leather and trim elements in glossy piano lacquer, the passengers in the rear with its optional contrasting colour scheme enjoy their place in the sun. They travel on reclining seats upholstered in Grand Nappa leather in an environment of utmost luxury and exquisite style.
In technical terms the Landaulet is based on the Maybach 62 S. Technicians have removed the rear roof module in order to afford passengers an unobstructed view of the sky above. The side walls have been invisibly reinforced with an integral tubular steel structure. As these measures have not altered the silhouette of the luxury saloon, the generously dimensioned doors and the complete interior with reclining seats remain unchanged.
