The reintroduction of the Maybach nameplate in 2002 was announced with theatrical grandeur. Transported across the Atlantic aboard the Queen Elizabeth II, encased in glass on the first-class sun deck, the new Maybach arrived in New York before descending delicately by helicopter-an entrance befitting the brand's lofty ambitions. Upon debut, Maybach not only elevated contemporary standards of luxury but also reasserted the legacy of its legendary motorcars of the 1920s and '30s. The Maybach 62, named for its imposing 6.2-meter length, was described as “a world of superlatives,” featuring up to 210 individual leather components, over 100 hand-fitted trim pieces, and a bespoke twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V12 producing 543 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque.
An exceptionally costly car throughout its years on offer, the base cost for a 62 had grown to $411,750 by 2009. At that level, many of the standard features aboard the Maybach 62 were unobtainable from other elite luxury car manufacturers. With reclining rear seats with leg and footrests, integral seats with massage function, rear folding tables, Keyless-Go, power closing doors and trunk lid, electronically controlled Airmatic air suspension with four-wheel level control, the long wheelbase 62 became the luxury standard bearer.
Of course, every Maybach 62 is a highly customized automobile, and this particular example, finished in Caspian Black over a Vesuvius Black Maybach ''Grand Nappa'' leather interior, features a number of noteworthy extras when new that included the Panoramic Glass Sunroof, a Partition Wall with Clear Glass and Curtain, Front and Rear Seat Climate Control, Rear Axle Steering with Large Steering Angle and the exquisite choice of “Wood Burred” Walnut Trim among other additional cost options. A refrigerator resides between the rear seats to chill the beverage of choice for the fortunate rear occupants chauffeured in seats resembling those in the first-class cabin of an intercontinental airliner.
This highly desirable long wheelbase 62 model benefits from light use and regular recent servicing. The clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report records less than 9,000 miles on the odometer at cataloging, and servicing at both Manhattan Motor Cars and Mercedes-Benz of Goldens Bridge. In 2022, upon acquisition by the consignor, the specialists at Goldens Bridge conducted a thorough inspection and, over a five-page invoice, conducted repairs to the Telematics system, performed an A Service new fluids and filters, and refinished all four wheels in gloss black. Additional work in 2024 included a new battery, fresh engine oil, TPM sensors, and valve stems. In 2025 repairs were made to the passenger rear door closing assist and air conditioning system.
With only 66 Maybachs sold in the United States for 2009-and far fewer representing the highly desirable long-wheelbase 62-this super-luxury sedan is as rare as it is impressive, embodying Wilhelm Maybach's famous dictum: “To create the very best from the very best.”
