What's
your take on the stunning Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet concept car? Before
answering our question, let's see what makes this study so unique a generous
grille, slim headlights, long bonnet, short windscreen, 'boat tail' rear end
that's inspired by luxury yachts, and massive 24-inch rims with center locking.
At 5,700 mm long, 2,100 mm wide and 1,340 mm tall,
Maybach's 6 concept is an impressively large convertible, as it's 670 mm longer,
201 mm wider albeit 70 mm lower than the already massive S-Class Cabriolet.
Despite combining both a classic and modern styling
on the outside, the Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet's cabin is very high-tech,
featuring biometric sensors that monitor the status of those inside, flowing
display strip on the dashboard, and two head-up displays.
And since this is a Maybach after all, Daimler's
luxury brand went crazy and installed wood flooring with inlaid aluminum
accents, crystal white Nappa leather, and blue fiber optics, which bring its
cockpit to life at night.
Unless you're familiar with this study that debuted
last month at Pebble Beach, you're probably expecting at least a V12 under the
hood, pumping a massive output to the wheels. But you'll be half wrong, or half
right, depending on how you see it, because it features four electric motors
that work together to deliver 750 PS.
For a boat on wheels, the Maybach 6 Convertible is
very agile indeed, as it needs less than 4 seconds to go from rest to 100 km/h, and it will keep sprinting up to a top speed electronically capped at
250 km/h. This is a concept that's definitely worth checking out live,
and to do so you'll have to visit the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, where it
remains on display until September 24.
