MERCEDES-BENZ MAYBACH 6 CABRIOLET. HUH?

I have no words to adequately describe this concept car, revealed for the first time in Monterey, California during the week of automotive events, dominated by the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
So I'll just reprint part of the press kit.






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.

The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet is designed as an electric car. The drive system has an output of 550 kW (750 hp). The shallow underfloor battery allows a range of over 500 kilometres according to the NEDC (over 200 miles according to EPA). 

Measuring almost six metres in length, the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet incorporates the classic proportions of art deco design with its extremely long bonnet and puristic, flowing lines, and at the same time completely reinterprets these aesthetic principles.

The extended, round "boat tail" format of the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet's rear recalls a luxury yacht, and narrow tail lights which emphasise the width of the vehicle are integrated in its outer edges. Further distinctive features at the rear include the diffuser with aluminium frame and the air outlets behind the wheel arches.

  1. A road-going Riva speedboat! This truly is a piece of whimsical wonderment. Love everything about this apart from it's powered by Watts and not KiloWatts. Put the SLR engine in this and make 1000 parking spaces free in any UAE country.
