Daimler are working on the second-generation Maybach.
This comes even after the current luxury sedan failed to return the expected sales figures. The first study will be presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show next September.
Help might also come from Aston Martin which could mean the production version could be manufactured in England. In return, Aston Martin models get platforms and hybrid technology from Mercedes.
Based on the Mercedes-Benz s-class, the new Maybach is expected to reach the market at the end of 2012. Expect the car to grow slightly with air suspension being standard. There will also be a surcharge Magic Body Control which detects bumps and curves using a camera and changes the suspension hardness to suit the road condition.
The new car will get both diesel and gasoline engines with power ratings at 204-650 hp. There will also be two hybrids engine available for the European market.
