100 years later - Why Mercedes-Maybach is the epitome of ultimate luxury and creative empowerment

"To present the best of the best." That was the aspiration expressed by Karl Maybach and his father Wilhelm when they debuted the Maybach 22/70 HP W 3 a century ago. And with which they laid the foundation for the development of Mercedes-Maybach into one of the most exclusive car brands of today. This philosophy - formulated at the 1921 Berlin Motor Show - still forms the core of the brand. Over the decades, during which royalty, heads of state, film stars and sports champions have traveled in Mercedes-Maybach vehicles, the emblem with the double M has become the epitome of technical innovation and ultimate luxury. It symbolizes passion and creative empowerment. And Maybach's words from back then stand today not only for the "best" products, but also for the "best" in society.
