In a celebration of craftsmanship and elegance, Mercedes-Maybach commemorates the 150th anniversary of Robbe & Berking with a bespoke edition of the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class, inspired by the iconic SPHINX yacht. This exclusive model exemplifies the fusion of automotive excellence and nautical heritage, offering a glimpse into a world where luxury meets timeless design.
The Mercedes-Maybach S 680 anniversary vehicle pays homage to the SPHINX yacht with its distinctive two-tone paint finish. The upper section is adorned in nautical blue metallic, reminiscent of the yacht's deep blue hull, while the lower section gleams in MANUFAKTUR patagonia red bright. A delicate MANUFAKTUR opalite white metallic pinstripe separates the two, mirroring the yacht's elegant white waterline.
Daniel Lescow, Head of Mercedes-Maybach, Mercedes-Benz Group AG, expresses, "Like the yacht SPHINX, our exclusive Mercedes-Maybach S-Class anniversary vehicle epitomizes craftsmanship, elegance, and attention to detail. We congratulate Robbe & Berking on their anniversary and look forward to continuing our successful collaboration."
Inside, the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class dazzles with Maybach MANUFAKTUR Exclusive nappa leather in crystal white, featuring diamond quilting that evokes the sail of a yacht. Orion grey topstitching accents the seats, headliner, and door panels, while walnut wood trim with light aluminium strips creates a luxurious interior reminiscent of a ship's deck.
Oliver Berking, Managing Director of Robbe & Berking GmbH, remarks, "This wonderful anniversary vehicle is another sign of the friendship that has long connected Maybach and Robbe & Berking. We are united by shared passions: Craftsmanship, the finest materials, and timelessly beautiful lines – on the road as well as on the water and on the table."
For ultimate comfort and entertainment, the Mercedes-Maybach S 680 includes electric comfort doors at the rear, illuminated MANUFAKTUR door sill trims, and a Burmester® high-end 4D surround sound system. It also features the MBUX high-end rear-seat entertainment system and a cooling compartment with two silver-plated champagne goblets from Robbe & Berking, enhancing the exclusive experience.
This one-off Mercedes-Maybach S-Class has already been reserved for a discerning customer, underscoring its rarity and exclusivity in the automotive world. As a symbol of heritage and innovation, this collaboration between Mercedes-Maybach and Robbe & Berking sets a new standard for luxury vehicles inspired by maritime elegance.
