This is the Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet, the
ultimate expression of the G-Class. Apparently Mercedes
wanted to surprise everyone with the Maybach-prepped G650 Landaulet in Geneva
but clearly someone couldn’t keep a secret.
The new Mercedes-Maybach G650 brings back the
Landaulet moniker which is reserved for ultra-luxury vehicles with soft tops
over the rear passengers’ heads.
The G650 Landaulet is based on the lifted chassis of
the G500 4x4 Squared but instead of the biturbo V8 found there, it uses the
company’s V12 engine, reportedly tuned for 630 Hp. The other difference is that
the wheelbase is now extended, thus creating more room for the privileged
passengers at the rear.
Courtesy of
fly-wheel, the rear portion of the cabin is completely separated from the front
and features strict seating for two, a central console and a pair of TFT
displays in front of them.
The new Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet is
reportedly going to enter a limited production run of just 99 examples, with
the company set to officially reveal it at the Geneva Motor Show.
