The Maybach 62S Landaulet is one of the rarest modern chauffeur-driven luxury cars ever built. Based on the long-wheelbase 62S, it keeps a fully enclosed chauffeur compartment while adding an electrically retractable soft top over the rear seats, so passengers travel in open-air comfort with the privacy and formality of a limousine. Mercedes-Benz Classic lists it as the Maybach 62 S Landaulet, V 240 E 60 LA (type 240.179), built 2008–2009, with a 2008 list price of €900,000 and its 6.0-litre twin-turbo V12 rated at 612 hp and 1,000 Nm.
This is the buyer reference for anyone researching a Maybach 62S Landaulet for sale: model history, full specification, market context and what to verify before acquiring one. A key caveat on rarity, Mercedes-Benz does not separately document production for this body style; the market commonly reports around 21–22 examples, a reported figure rather than a factory-confirmed one.
The 62S Landaulet is the coachbuilt, open-rear version of Maybach's long-wheelbase flagship. The chauffeur compartment stays fully enclosed while an electrically retractable soft top opens the rear passenger area to the sky, with a power partition separating driver and lounge. Mechanically it shares the 62S package: a 5,980 cc twin-turbocharged M285 V12 producing 612 hp and 1,000 Nm, a 5-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive, moving a 2,855 kg car to 100 km/h in a claimed 5.2 seconds and on to an electronically limited 250 km/h.
It should not be valued like a standard 62S saloon. The Landaulet sits in its own collector category because of the body style, the very low reported production and its modern coachbuilt appeal. Equipment was highly individualised car-by-car, rear entertainment, folding tables, refrigerator, champagne flutes, rear-axle steering and more have appeared on documented examples, so specification, originality and a fully functional roof system matter as much as mileage. The most important questions are whether a car is a genuine factory Landaulet, whether the roof works, whether the Maybach-specific parts are documented, and whether the seller has authority to transact.

Mercedes-Benz Classic does not publish a separate confirmed production number for the 62S Landaulet, the official archive states units produced are "not separately documented." Market sources and auction catalogues commonly cite around 21–22 examples, a reported figure rather than a factory-confirmed one. Any given car's exact status should be confirmed through its build documentation.
The Landaulet trades far above a standard 62S saloon. Public signals show a wide spread: an RM Sotheby's 2010 example was estimated at $1.9M–$2.2M in April 2025 but did not sell, a low-mileage car has been advertised in Europe at €2,349,000, and another dealer listing showed gross pricing around €1,725,500. Listed prices are not the same as completed transactions, which is why HYPERLUXE positions current opportunities in a $1.5M–$2.6M range (Europe), subject to mileage, provenance, condition, specification and seller motivation. Value is driven less by colour and mileage alone than by genuine factory-Landaulet status, a fully functional roof and complete documentation.
| Verification point: what to confirm | |
| Factory Landaulet status | Genuine factory build, not a later conversion, confirm via VIN & build records |
| Roof mechanism | Request video of operation; check seals, hydraulics/electrics, alignment, trim |
| VIN & title | VIN confirmation, registration document, clean title status |
| Service history | Maybach specialist records; engine, brakes (SBC), air suspension |
| Mileage | Documented odometer trail; storage and exercise history |
| Ownership chain | Original invoice, owners, single-owner premium only if documented |
| Import / export & tax | EU/US import status, VAT/duty, bonded or temporary-admission position |
| Seller authority | Direct owner, dealer inventory, or broker with proven mandate |
| Parts availability | Landaulet-specific roof and trim parts can be hard to source |
FAQ
Model-level answers for buyers researching a Maybach 62S Landaulet.
Request All 62S Landaulet Dossiers →Mercedes-Benz Classic does not publish a separate confirmed production number, its archive states units produced are "not separately documented." Market sources and auction catalogues commonly report around 21–22 examples, a reported figure rather than a factory-confirmed one.
The Mercedes-Benz Classic archive lists the 2008 price at €900,000. US period reporting also referenced around $1.35 million; the official European figure is €900,000.
The M285 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged V12, producing 612 hp and 1,000 Nm, paired with a 5-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive.
Yes. Mercedes-Benz Classic lists it as a Maybach production model under the V 240 series, type 240.179, built 2008–2009. For any specific car, confirm genuine factory-Landaulet status through the VIN and build records.
Yes, materially. A standard 62S saloon is collectible, but the Landaulet is a much rarer open-rear body style. Recent Landaulet asking prices and auction estimates have been in the seven-figure range, while ordinary 62S saloons appear at much lower public-market levels.
Top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h, with 0–100 km/h in a claimed 5.2 seconds, strong figures for a 2,855 kg chauffeur limousine.
Public signals suggest roughly €1.5M to €2.3M+ depending on mileage, provenance, condition, specification and seller motivation. Listed prices differ from completed transactions: a 2025 RM Sotheby's example estimated at $1.9M–$2.2M did not sell. HYPERLUXE positions current opportunities in a $1.5M–$2.6M range (Europe).
VIN and factory build status, genuine Landaulet conversion, roof-mechanism operation, service history, ownership chain, title, import/export and tax position, mileage evidence, Maybach specialist maintenance and seller authority. The roof is especially important, as Landaulet-specific parts can be hard to source, arrange a specialist PPI before deposit.
No. Both use the landaulet idea, but they are different vehicles and collector categories. The 62S Landaulet is a chauffeur-driven ultra-luxury limousine from the standalone Maybach era; the G650 Landaulet is an open-rear G-Class derivative. Production numbers, pricing and specifications should not be mixed between them.
