The Ultimate Luxury Transformation: Step Inside the G900 Maybach - A G-Class Unlike Any Other
In the world where Mercedes-Benz reigns supreme in luxury and performance, there's always been a whisper of a dream, a longing for the ultimate opulence that never truly came to pass from the esteemed automaker's own hands. While Mercedes has graced us with various iterations of the G-Class, they stopped short of delivering a Maybach version, until now, courtesy of an independent tuning house. Enter the Metagarage 1-of-1, G900 Maybach, a beacon of luxury on wheels that pushes the boundaries of what we've come to expect from the iconic G-Class.
From Vision to Reality: Crafting the G900 Maybach
Luxury knows no bounds in Dubai, the city that first laid eyes on this marvel. Initially a robust Mercedes-AMG G 63, the vehicle underwent a transformation that preserved its iconic features, such as the round headlights and the sturdy exterior hinges, while elevating everything else to a status of unparalleled majesty. The Metagarage team meticulously redesigned the vehicle, introducing a Maybach-style radiator grille adorned with vertical slats and opulent chrome accents. A glance at the vehicle’s front, and the double M logo of Maybach asserts itself, promising a journey of unmatched luxury.
The modifications don’t stop there; from the side, one can't help but admire the newly designed shiny multi-spoke light alloy wheels, a distinct departure from any stock G-Class wheels. Chrome-finished rectangular exhaust tips replace the standard ones, and side sills unique to the G900 have been added. Even the vehicle's model designation has undergone a change, from the familiar 'G 63' to the imposing 'G900', complemented by a Maybach badge on the C-pillar and a striking wing that adorns the roof.
Within, the transformation is breathtaking. The cabin is a white perforated leather sanctuary, boasting new headrests marked with the double M badge, symbolizing a new era of luxury for rear passengers who enjoy their personal entertainment system, complete with center console and headrest-mounted displays. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in the adjustable footrests and the Maybach logo pattern that graces the door cards, creating an ambiance of pure opulence.
Unaltered Power, Unprecedented Luxury
While Metagarage has transcended the boundaries of luxury, the heart of the G900 Maybach remains the formidable 4.0-liter biturbo V8 engine. This powerhouse produces an awe-inspiring 577 horsepower (585 metric horsepower) and 627 pound-feet (850 Newton meters) of torque. Coupled with a nine-speed automatic gearbox, this majestic vehicle sprints from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 3.9 seconds, venturing into supercar territory. The speedometer can reach up to 137 mph (220 kph), with the potential to hit 149 mph (240 kph) with the optional AMG Driver’s Package.
While Metagarage remains tight-lipped about the pricing of this singular masterpiece, one thing is for sure - this transformation caters to an exclusive clientele, and given its unveiling in Dubai, it promises to be a statement of wealth and exclusivity. The G900 Maybach is not just a vehicle; it's a statement, a luxury lounge on wheels that represents the pinnacle of automotive renovation.
