The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet is a car which, with its sensual, emotionally appealing design and innovative technical concept solutions, defines the ultimate in luxury of the future. At the same time, the two-seater model pays homage to the glorious “automotive haute couture” of hand-finished, exclusive cabriolets.
The glamorous cabriolet reinterprets classic, emotional design principles in an extravagant way and combines intelligent beauty with classic, aesthetic proportions and a reduced, technoid appearance – a perfect embodiment of the design philosophy of Sensual Purity.
Measuring almost 6 metres in length, the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet incorporates the classic proportions of art deco design with its extremely long hood and puristic, flowing lines, and at the same time completely reinterprets these aesthetic principles.
The extended, round “boat tail” format of the rear recalls a luxury yacht, and narrow tail-lamps which emphasise the width of the vehicle are integrated in its outer edges. The formal flow of the areas from the rear into the interior gives rise to a typical yacht feeling. A light wing flows in a curve across the door trim and the centre tunnel into the seat landscape, creating a 360° open-air luxury lounge.
The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 is designed as an electric car. Thanks to its four compact permanent magnet synchronous electric motors, it features all-wheel-drive. The flat battery sits in the underbody. The drive system has an output of 750bhp (550kW). This not only allows performance characteristics typical of a sports car (acceleration from 0-100km/h in under four seconds, top speed electronically governed at 250km/h), but also a range of over 500 kilometres.
The quick-charge function is also visionary – as a result of DC charging based on the CCS standard, the system allows a charging capacity of up to 350kW. In just five minutes, enough power can be charged to achieve an additional range of over 100 kilometres.
