The return of the Maybach
The legendary Maybach brand has made a comeback
after a 60-year absence. In July 2002 we presented the
Maybach 62 in New York and at the end of September
the Maybach 57 in Paris. Even more important than the
media’s exceptionally positive response to the new high-
end luxury limousines, was the great interest shown
by potential customers. We commenced delivery of the
Maybach at the end of 2002, and there are already
orders for the planned output of approximately 1,000
units in 2003.
The Maybach is produced by a dedicated manufactur-
ing facility at DaimlerChrysler’s Sindelfingen plant,
where more than 300 highly qualified men and women
ensure that each Maybach is perfect in every way and
can fulfill the wishes of the most discerning customers.
High-tech manufacturing processes and equipment
combined with hand-crafted luxury are what set the pro-
duction process apart for this super-premium vehicle.
The new Maybach continues the tradition of the
Maybach automobiles of the 1920s and 30s, whose
bodies were also carefully assembled by hand.
Majority holding in Formula 1 engine manufacturer
Ilmor
DaimlerChrysler increased its stake in Ilmor Engineering
Ltd. from 25% to 55% in December 2002, and has
agreed to gradually acquire the remaining shares by
2005. Ilmor Engineering Ltd. and DaimlerChrysler have
been responsible for the development, design and
production of Mercedes-Benz Formula 1 engines since
1993, and the company has now been renamed
Mercedes-Ilmor. It will more closely combine Ilmor’s
expertise with the extensive resources of Daimler-
Chrysler, thereby strengthening the foundation for a
high-performance, cost-efficient and highly flexible
Formula 1 engine system. This in turn will create the
conditions necessary for developing high-performance
engines for various other applications.
