Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6
The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6
concept surfaced online ahead of its official debut. Scheduled to appear at the
Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, Mercedes couldn’t contain the enormous,
6-meter-long car anymore.
The German car maker released three
teasers on social media, announcing the unveiling of the car at the prestigious
event held on the Monterey Peninsula in Monterey County, California.
It carries a familiar
shape, adopting streamlined silhouette, similar to that of other Mercedes
concepts, including the 2004 Maybach Excelero, the Vision Grand Turismo, and
even the IAA Concept.
It’s unknown what powers the
behemoth, but the pictures show a long, elongated, split hood – reminiscent of
the old, bespoke coachbuilds. The entire front fascia is governed by a gaping
wide chrome grille with vertical slats, flanked by a pair of slim LED
headlights.
Inside, secluded by two gullwing
doors, appears to be a technological sanctuary, sheltering the occupants from
the outside world. It features an enormous heads-up display along the width of
the windshield, whilst the lack of a transmission tunnel could indicate an
electric powertrain.
The high-tech feeling of the cabin is
further emphasized by what appears to be a touch sensitive surface, surrounding
the two passengers. The surface, possibly made out of touchscreen displays,
embeds the seat control functions and the navigation system. We’ll definitely find out more about this
stunning-looking vehicle once Mercedes will officially unveil it.
