The engine

M176

4.0L Twin-Turbo V8

Maybach's 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 is tuned for hushed, imperious wafting rather than aggression — abundant low-end torque delivered with limousine smoothness and near silence.

A refined relative of the AMG V8, recalibrated for Mercedes' ultra-luxury Maybach sub-brand to prioritize serenity, with extra sound insulation isolating occupants from any mechanical noise.
