Mercedes-Benz has taken a relatively measured approach in reintroducing the Maybach name into its lineup. After all, the current Mercedes-Maybach S600 looks mostly like a standard S-class sedan with more chrome.

After teasing a profile that reminded us of a 1930s-era Bugatti, Benz is now showing off the imposing front of this new ultra-luxe two-door, confirming that this new Maybach concept will be grandiose and distinctive. A wide-mouthed grille boasts no less than 25 chrome vertical slats, with the “Maybach” name prominently displayed on the upper edge. Above that is a good-old-fashioned Mercedes-Benz hood ornament, which contrasts with the futuristic-looking slit headlights.
