The Mercedes-Benz Maybach S 560 was a variant of the W222 S-Class Sedan that was introduced for the 2018 model year. The Maybach S560 represented the very highest level of luxury over the already luxurious standard S560. These luxury sedans were powered by Mercedes' M176 DE 40 AL engine, which was a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 that had an output of 463hp and 516lb ft of torque. Drive from the engine was sent to the rear wheels via a 9 speed automatic transmission.
