Headline: Mercedes-Benz Unveil The Maybach 6 Cabriolet Concept

Caption: Mercedes has unveiled its latest concept car. The new Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet is an all-electric luxury cabriolet. But it looks less like a traditional car - and more like a luxury speed boat. Its low profile and simple, sleek lines tapering into a pointed rear-end are evocative of 1940s American saloons. The vastly elongated front end is split down the middle creating two different luggage compartments and matching luggage to go with it. The compartmentalised front-left section of the bonnet features accessories such as a luxury picnic kit is like a bourgeois game of Tetris, while the right side is somewhat more conventional. Inside the car, the cabin is designed like a trendy cocktail bar, with the white Nappa leather interior broken up by LED lights which wrap around the inside - underscoring the dashboard and dotted across the seats. The car will, like the Maybach 6, have 750 horsepower and around 200 miles of range from its electric battery pack and motors. This will also allow it to travel from 0-62mph in under four seconds. Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer of Daimler AG, explains the design: "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.”
