The current Mercedes-Maybach S-Class can be had with V8 or V12 power, but the 2021 model will launch with just one engine. The Maybach S580 will be powered by Mercedes' excellent 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with EQ-Boost mild-hybrid technology. On its own, the V8 produces 496 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, but the 48-volt EQ-Boost starter-generator can add 21 hp and 184 lb-ft of supplemental oomph as needed. The mild-hybrid system also smooths out the operation of the stop-start system and can shut off the engine while coasting for better efficiency (this is often referred to as "sailing"). That power gets sent through a nine-speed automatic transmission and 4Matic all-wheel drive is standard.

All the awesome new tech available in the 2021 S-Class comes standard in the Maybach, including the Burmester 4D surround sound system, the next-generation MBUX interface, the augmented reality head-up display and the reconfigurable 3D instrument cluster. All the best safety tech is on hand, too, including adaptive cruise control with route-based speed adaptation, active steering assist, lane-change assist, automatic emergency braking with cross-traffic assist, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, car-to-X communication software, parking assist and Mercedes' Pre-Safe Impulse Side tech that automatically moves you away from the doors during a collision
