My sixth sense had kicked in. The presence of something big in my proximity, accompanied by a deep hum amplified with every passing second. I turned to look and was instantly bedazzled. A glimmering Maybach 62 had gracefully pulled into the fuel station. I stood there, frozen, with my jaw dropped and sight locked onto the limousine, soaking in what the finest example of luxury on four wheels looked like. This is what a Maybach is capable of doing, in a nutshell. It has been 10 years since that day, but the memory remains fresh. And I couldn’t have imagined saying this back then — I have the key to a Maybach. That took a moment to sink in. It’s the big daddy of automotive affluence. Behold the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600!
Mercedes-Benz is perpetually the first name that comes up whenever you think of luxury, and that name gets a whole new meaning when you add ‘Maybach’ to it. The GLS 600 has an unmistakable identity that can never go unnoticed. It is what differentiates the super-rich from the merely rich. It is quite an experience to be exquisitely enveloped in the lap of luxury, and how a sense of importance rubs off on oneself.
