The Special version of the 62 model was unveiled in 2006 at the Auto China exhibit in Beijing.
Featuring several exterior/interior upgrades as well as the same power unit as seen on the 57 S, an AMG hand-built 6.0L twin-turbo V12, the Spezial is truly a landlord’s car. Having countless standard luxury touches and a level of comfort comparable to that of 5-star cruise-boat suites, this car represents the ultimate in pampering. Despite its unique character, the car was widely criticized for having a look too close to that of MB’s S-Klasse. However, a look inside is all one needs to acknowledge that a Maybach is far more than any MB model.
