Mercedes-Maybach has moored – sorry, revealed – its 5.7-metre-long Vision 6 concept at the wealthy shores of Pebble Beach in the US, complete with a 550kW electric powertrain.
The annual Monterey Car Week opens this weekend and typically has premium brands rushing to get an eye-in on cashed-up consumers, but the Vision 6 also has one eye on the future of Mercedes-Maybach rumoured to have its own production coupe in the works.

Given there is no physical engine up front, four suitcases take residence in that stately area.

In between a bonnet that has its own postcode and a speedliner-like, vaguely retro rump, sit 24-inch wheels and classic Gullwing doors opening up to an indulgent cabin that is anything but a throwback – an ‘augmented reality’ windscreen teams with gesture controls replacing buttons, while each of the buttons on the front seats monitors occupant health.
