The Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet concept has been
unveiled in California. escribed as "automotive haute couture," the
luxurious convertible is a follow-up to last year's coupe and it features a
stylish design that is sure to draw attention.
Starting with the exterior, the 6 Cabriolet concept
has a nautical blue metallic finish and a massive grille that is inspired by
pinstriped suits. The car also features an extremely long hood, a short
windscreen, and 24-inch center locking wheels.
Out back, designers created a "boat tail"
rear end which draws inspiration from luxury yachts. There's also a diffuser
with an aluminum frame and narrow taillights that emphasize the vehicle's
width. Lastly, Mercedes created a custom-made fabric top with interwoven rose
gold threads.
The distinctive styling continues in the interior as
designers installed crystal white nappa leather upholstery, rose gold trim, and
wood flooring with inlaid aluminum accents. Drivers will also find a retro instrument
cluster, floating air vents, and a transparent center tunnel with blue fiber
optic components.
Despite the classic appearance, the concept is
extremely high-tech as it features two head-up displays and a flowing
"display strip" on the dashboard. Elsewhere, there are biometric
sensors which monitor the status of the passengers and a concierge function
with enables users to talk to it like a person.
Motivation is provided by four electric motors which
produce a combined output of 750 PS. This setup enables the all-wheel
drive concept to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in less than four
seconds before hitting a limited top speed of 250 km/h.
The electric motors are powered by a
floor-mounted battery which enables the concept to have a range in excess of
500 km. The model also features a quick-charge function which can
deliver 100 km of range in just five minutes.
