Mercedes-Maybach has unveiled an electric car concept at the Monterey Car Week, called the Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet.

With its final reveal appearance at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, the almost 6-metre-long drop-top intends to combine futuristic technology with ‘haute couture’ style.

The all-wheel-drive, four-motor setup allows the Maybach 6 to travel “over 500 kilometres”, with 550kW of electric power allowing a 0-100km/h sprint in less than 4.0 seconds.

This is doubly impressive when you consider how large the Maybach 6 is. The Maybach 6’s weight hasn’t been revealed, but at six metres long and two metres wide we imagine it’d top to two-tonne mark.

And though Mercedes-Maybach designed the car with yachts in mind – from the boat-tail rear to the chrome accents which ooze opulence – Maybach probably didn’t want the 6 to weight quite as much as one.

Chief design officer for Daimler Gorden Wagener says the visual appeal of the Maybach 6 Cabriolet comes from its reinterpretation of classic design.

“The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet takes modern luxury into the realms of the ultimate in luxury, and is the perfect embodiment of our design strategy.

“Breathtaking proportions combined with a luxurious “haute couture” interior help to create the ultimate experience.”
