Maybach has launched its first plug-in hybrid and will soon follow it up witih an EV.
Mercedes-Benz's Maybach division on Thursday revealed its first plug-in hybrid in the form of the S 580 e.starts sales in China later this year, followed by Europe and a handful of other markets, though there's been no mention of its availability in the U.S.
Its powertrain consists of a 3.0-liter turbo-6 combined with a single electric motor, and sends its drive to the rear wheels. Combined output is a healthy 502 hp, or enough for 0-62 mph acceleration in 5.1 seconds and a governed top speed of 155 mph. Switching to pure EV mode drops the output to 147 hp. Maybach hasn't mentioned the size of the battery but said a full charge can deliver a range of 62 miles on the WLTP cycle used overseas. The stricter EPA cycle would result in a lower range. Using a DC fast charger can deliver a full charge of the battery in around 30 minutes, according to Maybach.
