Mercedes-Maybach caught the eye with the début of their first-ever cabriolet at the 2016 Los Angeles Motor Show with the S 650 Cabriolet, which is to be available in the market by 2017.
Mercedes-Maybach showed us a glimpse into the future of the brand with the Mercedes-Maybach Vision 6 Coupé, which was showcased to the world at the Paris Motor Show not too long ago, and now they have followed up with the S 650 Cabriolet, a series albeit limited-production model.
The Mercedes-Maybach S 650 Cabriolet is likely to be a very exclusive car with the company making just 300 examples with a price tag in excess of €300,000 (Rs 2.25 crore). The high-end appointments in the interior make up part of the vehicle’s special characteristics. Features include nine additional colour concepts for the interior, the trim – optionally refined with “flowing lines” – and hand-crafted leather seats with perforations in a waterfall-style look.
The Mercedes-Maybach S 650 is based on the open-top S-Class and has adopted its proportions. Features include a new front bumper with an upgraded lower section and numerous chrome highlights. The Maybach emblem is featured on the vehicle’s wing. Other elements on the exterior include the 20-inch Maybach forged wheels in a bichromatic finish. All of the optional extras of the S-Class Cabriolet come as standard on the Mercedes-Maybach, including AIRCAP, AIRSCARF and Swarovski headlamps.
The performance of the S 650 Cabriolet is catered for by the AMG 6.0-litre BiTurbo V12 engine which develops 630 PS and 1,000 Nm, sent to the rear via a 7G-Tronic seven-speed auto box. The Mercedes-Maybach S 650 Cabriolet is equipped with an exclusive travel luggage set from MAYBACH – ICONS OF LUXURY. “THE AFFINITY” set which comprises of two large travel bags as well as two lifestyle bags made of original vehicle leather. In terms of form and colour – which are coordinated with the interior variant selected by the customer – the bag set is tailored to match the Cabriolet.
