Stretch your legs in the 2018 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class

If you'd rather be driven than do the driving, this is the S-Class for you.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class is a chauffeur-focused experience with a longer wheelbase than the normal S-Class.

The Maybach S560 uses the same V8 as the regular S560, with the same output.

The Maybach S650, however, brings a 523-horsepower V12 to the party.

The S650 is rear-wheel drive, whereas the S560 is all-wheel drive.

Both Maybachs include an incredibly spacious rear seat.

The Maybach twins also include an extended leather package and more ambient lighting.

They also happen to be extremely expensive, even by S-Class standards.
