Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6
.
Debut in Pebble
Beach.
Every August classic
car fans from around the world converge on Pebble Beach in California for a
very special beauty contest. This gathering of magnificent classic cars is the
perfect place to premiere the exclusive Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6, a
sensational luxury-class coupe. The 2+2 seater is a homage to the glorious age
of the aero coupes and consciously carries this tradition forward into the
future.
The coupe
reinterprets classic, emotional design principles in an extreme way, following
the Mercedes-Benz design philosophy of sensual purity.
Gorden Wagener, the
Head of Design at Daimler AG describes his design like that “Our glamorous coupe, the Vision
Mercedes-Maybach 6, represents the ultimate in contemporary luxury. It is hot
and cool”, “With its intelligent appeal and reduced, technoid look, it
perfectly embodies our design philosophy of sensual purity and our pursuit of
aerodynamic efficiency.”
Performance like a Sports :
The Vision
Mercedes-Maybach 6 is designed as an electric car. Whit the help of its four compact permanent magnet synchronous
electric motors, it features all-wheel drive. The maximum output of the drive system is
550 kW (750 PS). The shallow underfloor battery has a usable capacity
of approx. 80 kWh. This not only allows performance characteristics
typical of a sports car (acceleration from 0‑100 km/h in less then 4
seconds, which hit the top speed at
250 km/h) but also a range of over 500 kilometres according to the
NEDC (over 200 miles according to EPA).
With its impressive
dimensions, the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 (length/width/height: 5700/2100/1328
millimetres) is the first luxury coupe in the series of visionary design show
cars from Mercedes-Benz.
