Two Engine Choices
Those who want the 2018 Mercedes-Maybach can choose from either an S 560 or an S 650. They have nearly identical features and styling, but the S 650 adds even more power and performance. The S560 4Matic uses a 4-liter turbocharged V8 with 463 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The S 650 swaps that out for a 6-liter turbocharged V12 for 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet with a 7-speed transmission.
