Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet... Twin-Center Hoods

The Maybach 6 is powered by a 738-hp fully electric powertrain and easily travels more than 200 miles on a charge, while a quick-charging system can add an additional 60 miles of range in five just minutes. Each wheel has its own electric motor, allowing for four-wheel drive and torque-vectoring functionality. The performance is remarkable and can go from zero to 60 mph in less than four seconds and tops off at about 155-mph. The incredibly long front end with its twin-center hoods doesn’t contain a conventional engine; Mercedes decided to utilize this space for other purposes, with dedicated compartments, specially fitted umbrellas, luggage, and even silverware, if you can believe that. It’s truly an outstanding feature for this luxury concept car which has a profound purpose, that is to say: Daimler’s total commitment to electric mobility and the Mercedes-Maybach brand.

When you're gazing out over roughly four acres of hood from the driver's seat, you can't help but reflect upon how far modern technology has brought the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet. This stand-alone marvel is Executed in Nautical Blue Metallic and fitted with 24-inch wheels featuring 26 spokes and a rose-gold center lock.
