The final Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet will be
going under the hammer next month as Bonhams will auction off the convertible
to raise funds for Laureus Sport for Good.
Set to be sold at the company's Zoute auction on October
6th, the model has remained in Mercedes' procession and will soon become the
first G650 Landaulet to be sold at public auction. The combination of
exclusively and prestige is expected to draw a lot of attention and Bonhams
predicts bidding will surpass its list price of € 630,000 (US$ 753,259).
Even if that occurs, the model could be a relative
bargain as previous examples have been listed for sale at € 1.3 (US$ 1.5) million.
The six-figure convertible is one of the most insane
creations since the Mercedes G63 AMG 6x6 and it features a twin-turbo 6.0-liter
V12 engine that produces 630 hp and 1,000 Nm of torque.
Since it's based on the G-Class, it also comes equipped with portal axles,
locking differentials, and 450 mm of ground clearance.
The convertible isn't only about performance as the
Maybach team created a bespoke rear passenger compartment with two individual
seats that are separated by a center console with thermal cup holders and
retractable tray tables. Other highlights include a rear partition window and a
dual screen entertainment system.
