Mercedes confirms its Maybach S-Class will be powered by a V12 Engine. This new model will commemorate the 100th year anniversary of Maybach.
Mercedes has released new photos that confirm the existence of a Maybach S680 model with a V-12 engine. Although no specs are available yet, we think that this V-12 will be an updated version of the twin-turbo 6.0-liter engine in the previous Maybach S650 with possibly more power.
Maybach is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, and to commemorate it Mercedes is hinting at the return of a V-12–powered S-class. A teaser photo shows the side view of the Maybach S-class, and just in front of the front door is a "V12" badge, suggesting 12 cylinders could again find their way under the hood of the S-class.
Despite dropping the teaser image, Mercedes has not confirmed any plans for a new S650. Rather, in the release with the teaser, the automaker says: "The 100-year anniversary of the first Maybach automobile in 2021 will see multiple initiatives that celebrate this spirit come to life."
