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.

Lets go straight to the exterior design and we must admit, its a pretty elegant car. The car has the same front as the recently facelifted sedan and estate versions of the C-class but the similarities end at the A-pillar. Every other design element is unique to the coupe. The coupe features a Hoffmeister-like kinked rear window, a more rakish roofline, a complete new rear end and an upward sweeping shoulder line.
