Maybach 6 Cabriolet arrives at Pebble Beach

The hallowed Maybach marque was at its most resplendent during the Art Deco period of the 1920s and 1930s, using architectural proportions to sculpt some of history's most imposing automobiles . A 1938 Maybach SW38 Disappearing Top Roadster by Spohn. The difference between seeing one of these cars in a picture and in the flesh is stark, and the key to the illusion is scale. In the image, everything looks in proportion but when you stand beside it, it is so large that it intimidates any scene. As can be seen from the debut of the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet below, it is an enormous vehicle.

Maybach 6 Cabriolet Unveiled At Pebble Beach

Perhaps the most beautiful concept cars in the recent history, Mercedes-Benz took the wraps off the absolutely smashing Vision 6 Cabriolet. One cannot quite stop ogling at the car and its gorgeous lines, which evoke all kinds of carnal passion in a car enthusiast. We never had a doubt about the R&D abilities of Mercedes-Benz, but with the Vision 6 Cabriolet, the company has absolutely outdone itself. In words of the company itself, it is the most glorious example of automotive haute couture. It is homage to the hand-finished, exclusive cabriolets of the yore. The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet is actually an electric car with a total output of 740 bhp. The shallow under-floor battery enables the cabriolet to have a range of 500 kilometres according to NEDC (New European Driving Cycle).

Future of Luxury Cars?

The exterior is, unsurprisingly, very similar to that of the Coupe version but with a convertible roof. The part that really blew me away was the interior, which Mercedes calls a “360° open-air luxury lounge.” The most visual aspect of the 360° design comes from the flowing blue design that wraps around the entirety of the cabin. But the flow continues, as the bottom of both seats stretch across from driver to passenger seat, passing over the futuristic-looking center console. In all honesty, just about everything about this cabin screams “future,” but not so much to where everything couldn’t carry over into a production car. “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,” explains Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer of Daimler AG.
