Engine: 4.0L V8 Biturbo with Mild Hybrid (ISG)
The Maybach GLS 600 is powered by a 3,982 cc V8 biturbo engine paired with a 48V integrated starter-generator (ISG). The engine itself produces 550 bhp and 700-730 Nm of torque, while the hybrid system provides an additional 22 bhp and 250 Nm boost. This ensures the 2.8-ton SUV moves with effortless grace, prioritizing smooth power delivery over aggressive shifts.
Configuration: 8 Cylinders / V-Shape / DOHC
The engine features a 90-degree V8 configuration with 4 valves per cylinder and Double Overhead Camshafts (DOHC). It utilizes twin-scroll turbochargers positioned inside the "V" for faster response. The "Maybach" drive program is a unique feature that further refines the throttle and transmission to ensure rear-seat passengers experience zero shift-shock.
Acceleration and Speed: 0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds
Despite its massive kerb weight of 2,825 kg, the Maybach GLS 600 can sprint from 0-100 km/h in a mere 4.9 seconds. The top speed is electronically governed at 250 km/h. This performance allows it to keep pace with performance SUVs while maintaining the serenity of a private lounge.
