New details about the Maybach S-Class have come to light, with the model scheduled to debut at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show next month.

Mercedes to sell range-topping Maybach S-Class

These on-going reports about the extra-long S-Class with the “Maybach” badge were confirmed by the company’s head of global design Gordon Wagener.

Speaking to Car and Driver, Wagener said the car will be about 5500 mm long, meaning it will sit nicely between the current S550 and the previous Maybach 57. He said that they “had to work to get the proportions right in the C-pillar, but it will still look very much like an S-Class.” Power is expected to come from a turbocharged V12 engine which will send all the power to the rear wheels with the advanced Magic Body Control system.

Wagener further described the Maybach S-Class as being the embodiment of automotive “haute couture” and he also confirmed that “Maybach” will be treated as a sub-brand of Mercedes-Benz, similar to the AMG line. This additionally means that there will be future versions badged with the Maybach name.

More details will be revealed when the model bows down at the LA Auto Showin November 2014.
