The one rule that Big Motoring World has on
supercars is that more really is more. If there’s one manufacturer that really
honours that rule, it’s Mercedes.
Luxury upgrade
The stretched 6.3.0 litre Rocket 900 is a significant rise
in luxury from the previous model, the V12 Mercedes-Maybach S600. A new billet
crankshaft includes forged pistons, upgraded turbochargers and larger intake
manifolds. All of this leads to a hotter engine, but this is dealt with by the
use of real gold heat shields. They really have every base covered.
Efficiency and Speed
Mercedes feed the energy created in their engine testing
room into Germany’s national grid. That says everything you need to know about
the company. And the results for this car are as you’d expect in that regard –
it has 900 metric horsepower (888bhp), 1,106lb ft of torque, a 0-62mph time of
3.7 seconds and a top speed of 217mph.
Design
The inside of this car is simply luxurious. It represents a
typical limo in the cabin, with leather in brown and cream. But it does have a
racier feel – and that’s no surprise considering this can go more than 200mph.
With a choice of 21-inch wheels, retuned suspension dropped
by an inch, a full aero kit and new radiator grille, the design is sleek to say
the least. And as sumptuous as it is already, there are further upgrades
available with special leather and Alcantara upholstery, wood and carbon-fiber
trim, and its full iBusiness suite.
Verdict
There's no official word on the price for this model, but
the Mercedes-Maybach S600 starts at £166,000, so this one’s likely to be a
little higher. But for the novelty alone, this car really is something else.
