The new Mercedes-Maybach S580e is the fruition of the Mercedes-Maybach Vision 6 showcased at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance back in 2016.

The plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is powered by a powerful inline-six engine and it’s complemented by a vast array of luxury elements. The Maybach S580e may be the production version of the Vision 6 but it shed some of the impractical styling elements of the concept in favor of optimization in performance, styling, utility, and safety. With that, it takes off from the platform of its Benz counterpart…. Continue Reading »

Giancarlo Perlas September 25, 2022

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has undergone a lot of transformations and name changes over seven generations. However, one thing’s for sure, it remains the flagship car of the three-pointed star marque.

This Mercedes-Benz S-Class has Completely Turned to the Dark Side

Giancarlo Perlas August 10, 2022

Recently, the platinum_group on Instagram shared their new project based on the 2022 Mercedes-Benz S580. It features an all-dark, sinister-looking body kit that includes a black satin finish with matching heavily-tinted windows. The mods also include the custom front grille, front lip spoiler, huge air intakes on the front bumpers, side skirts, subtle duck-tail spoiler… Continue Reading »
