There’s a new twist to Mercedes-Benz’s efforts to further resurrect the image and standing of its Maybach sub-brand on the back of strong sales for the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class in key global markets over the past 12 months.
At the 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in Monterey, USA, the carmaker unveiled an open top version of the art deco inspired Mercedes-Maybach 6 concept car. Taking the stretched lines and intricate detailing of the original coupe concept revealed at the 2016 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, the new electric powered Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet adds open top appeal and a plush new two interior, creating a blueprint for a high end open top model to challenge the likes of the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe.
At 5700mm in length, 2100mm in width and 1340mm in height, the new Maybach concept is a considerable 671mm longer, 201mm wider but 71mm lower than the soon-to-be-facelifted S-class Convertible.
