An air bag is embedded in each of the rear seat belts– it’s a safety and security attribute yet an additional benefit is that it provides the perception of a softer, much more glamorous belt.

As well as, as high as we’re entertained by the existence of toss cushions in the Maybach S-class, who in fact likes throw pillows? They exist to be in the method.

The Maybach’s 157-foot stop from 70 mph is only 4 feet longer compared to was needed by the last Audi R8 we tested.
