Mercedes-Maybach S650 Cabriolet (teaser)
Mercedes-Maybach S650 Cabriolet will
have its world premiere at the LA Auto Show on Wednesday.
A teaser video released by Mercedes on social media
suggests that, just like the Mercedes-Maybach sedans are variants of the
Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedans, the S650 Cabriolet will be an even more
luxuriously flavored edition of the S-Class Convertible.
Whereas the Maybach limos ride on elongated
wheelbases, it appears that the S650 Cabriolet will retain the S-Class
Convertible’s footprint unchanged.
Aside from the different trimmings inside and out,
upgraded interior equipment, and bespoke wheels that can be seen in the
pictures, the Maybach model’s moniker points to an enhanced V12 powertrain,
possibly with a 6.0-liter or 6.5-liter displacement.
Another thing we get from the video is the “1 of
300” plaque on the lower center console that refers to the number of cars
Mercedes plans to build.
