Eligible for import to AustraliaCompliance Available
The Maybach S Series S580 is approved for import to Australia under the SEVS Performance Criterion. Each example carries a M176 twin turbocharged V8 + 48V mild hybrid engine, a automatic gearbox, and all-wheel drive. We source through approved Japanese auctions, arrange inspection where possible, bid with your approval, and manage import and compliance support end to end.
This Maybach S Series S580 is approved for import to Australia under SEVS approval SEV-000736, all granted on the Performance Criterion, supported by 2 Model Report Entries (MREs) MRE-000807 and MRE-000845 from accredited Australian Vehicle Verifiers including SYDNEY AVV PTY LTD. Approvals cover builds from July 2021 onwards.
Why qualified — Performance Criterion. Approvals granted under the SEVS Performance Criterion apply to vehicles that demonstrate a substantially superior performance specification — for example, power-to-weight, acceleration, or another measurable performance metric — compared with vehicles supplied to the Australian market in volume. Eligibility is build-specific: the exact build years, variants and model codes named on the approval are the binding reference.
How Carbarn runs this import. We source 7/2021 to 7/2026 examples through approved Japanese auction houses, verify build and condition sheets before bidding, and handle every downstream step on your behalf — international freight, Australian customs entry, biosecurity inspection, and the full SEVS compliance program at our Sydney workshop. Final delivery includes paperwork for state registration.
