What’s going on?
Monterey Car Week 2017 and, therefore, the 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance competitions are fully operational. With some of the richest jet engines in the world present, Mercedes-Benz took advantage of the spotlight by introducing the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet.
If it looks and sounds familiar, it is because it is. The original Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 concept debuted at last year’s Pebble Beach show in the form of a hardtop coupe. This year, a car of the same model, but in great shape convertible.
Yes it is, and like the hardtop version, it’s an all-electric car as well, offering the same 750 horsepower and over 200 miles worth of range thanks to a specially designed battery system.
“The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet brings modern luxury to the world of luxury and is the perfect embodiment of our design strategy. Stunning proportions combined with a luxurious haute couture interior help create an unforgettable experience, ”said Gorden Wagener, chief designer of Daimler AG.
The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet, about 20 feet long, with its sleek rear and tail-shaped rear end, complemented by massive 24-inch wheels, is undoubtedly a spectacle, both in personal and in print.
