Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV
With the Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV, the legendary brand is presenting its first all-electric series model. It is based on the technology of the EQS SUV from Mercedes-EQ and combines it with the exclusivity of Maybach – in line with Karl Maybach’s maxim: “What is good must also be beautiful.” The special exterior with an upright Mercedes star on the hood and a striking black panel front, which carries the specific Maybach radiator grille into the age of electromobility, ensures an unmistakable appearance. The optional two-tone paintwork is also typical of the brand. Thanks to exquisite materials, perfect craftsmanship, and exclusive details, the spacious interior offers a holistic comfort experience with a cocooning effect. With its consistent interpretation of sophisticated luxury, the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV sets the new benchmark in the all- electric top-end luxury SUV segment.
Mercedes-Maybach enriches the dynamic purpose design of the EQS SUV with exclusive elements that give it its very own character. The Mercedes star sits enthroned on the hood, defining the status. The front is characterized by the brand-typical black panel with vertical, chrome- plated trim strips in a three-dimensional depth look. The large black panel is smoothly closed for the first time. The high-tech element for the radar sensors is fully integrated and no longer visible. Chrome-plated, filigree slats can also be found on the air intake of the bumper. The classic MAYBACH lettering is discreetly incorporated into a chrome-plated decorative strip, which forms a unit with the continuous light strip of the standard DIGITAL LIGHT headlights. The Maybach pattern with several small brand emblems can also be found in trim parts of the side bumper. DIGITAL LIGHT welcomes and says goodbye to the driver with a special light show. As a further greeting, an animated projection of the Maybach pattern shines in all four doors. At the rear, the rear lights underline the exclusive character of a continuous light strip with a two-part helix. The lights are animated across the entire width. There are also chrome trim elements on the tailgate, on the rear apron, and on the spoiler lip, as well as the MAYBACH lettering.
The special appearance of the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV also includes the brand-typical two-tone paintwork with a filigree pinstripe. It is applied by hand according to the highest quality criteria and is available in five color combinations: high-tech silver/obsidian black, high-tech silver/ nautical blue, obsidian black/selenite grey, obsidian black/kalahari gold and velvet brown/ onyx black.
The Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV is the first model from Mercedes-Benz AG to be fitted with vegetable-tanned leather. Coffee bean shells are used as tanning agents. The water used for tanning is conducted in a closed circuit and flows back into natural bodies of water after recycling. The fat-liquoring agents used in tanning are also exclusively plant-based.
The Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV is the marque’s first all-electric, full-size luxury SUV.
The lounge character promises luxurious travel at the highest level. Together with the innovative, progressive SUV proportions, it aims to redefine the SUV luxury of the future.
Lamborghini Revuelto
Lamborghini Bahrain, managed by Behbehani Brothers W.L.L, launched the highly anticipated Lamborghini Revuelto in an exclusive event held at the Lamborghini Showroom Bahrain. This momentous occasion comes with marque’s 60th anniversary, marking a new chapter in Lamborghini’s legacy of innovation and unparalleled performance.
The Revuelto, Lamborghini’s first-ever High- Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV), represents a groundbreaking fusion of electrification and super sports car excellence. Setting a new benchmark in performance, on-board technology, and driving pleasure, the Revuelto pushes the boundaries of automotive engineering.
At the heart of the Revuelto lies a revolutionary powertrain that delivers an astonishing 1015 CV total, harnessing the combined power of a brand- new 12-cylinder internal combustion engine, three high-density electric motors, and a groundbreaking transversal dual clutch e-gearbox. This innovative hybrid system amplifies performance and elevates driving emotions to unprecedented levels, redefining the thrill of the Lamborghini experience.
As a symbol of Lamborghini’s commitment to sustainability, the Revuelto showcases the power of hybridization in reducing environmental impact without compromising on power and performance. This transformative technology paves the way for
a future where high-performance supercars coexist harmoniously with responsible energy consumption.
The exclusive launch event held at the Lamborghini Showroom Bahrain provided a platform for automotive enthusiasts and esteemed guests to witness the unveiling of this engineering marvel firsthand. The event was a testament to Lamborghini’s dedication to delivering exceptional experiences to its discerning clientele.
Revuelto Roberto brings the future of Lamborghini design to the road today. It stays constant to the exclusive Lamborghini design DNA but establishes an entirely new stylistic language. It links with the iconic and legendary Lamborghini V12 cars of the past throughout the new shape, while the new proportions opened the door towards the future.
While Revuelto delivers a quantum leap in an all-new car design, both externally and internally, the inspiration of previous V12 legends is still clear. Starting with the 1971 Countach prototype and its perfect proportions developed on a single longitudinal line, this car was responsible for creating a pure and essential style contextualized in the space age era. It defined the Lamborghini V12 super sports car DNA and introduced one of the most distinctive Lamborghini V12 elements the vertically opening scissor doors which contribute to creating the character of Revuelto.
The new car also defers to the inimitable proportions of the Diablo and the floating blade on the rear Fender, while the muscularity and inclined front of the Murcielago is evident.
With the Revuelto, Lamborghini launches a new space race, ushering in a design language that adapts to the challenges imposed by electrification, and presaging the shapes and proportions of super sports cars of the near future. The design is inspired by aerospace elements, characterized by sculpted surfaces encompassed by two lines that start from the front and embrace the cabin and engine, tapering down to the hexagon you know shaped exhausts.
