Mercedes-Benz has unveiled its most expensive cabriolet – the Mercedes-Maybach S 650 Cabriolet, at the ongoing 2016 Los Angels Auto Show, which almost looks like a super expensive jewellery. The first cabriolet from the Mercedes‑Maybach brand is limited to 300 units and carries a €300,000 net price tag (Rs 2.18 Crore approx).
The Mercedes-Maybach S 650 Cabriolet is the S-Class Cabriolet gone to a whole new level. It is inspired by the Vision Mercedes‑Maybach 6 premiered at the Paris Motor Show. Exclusive Mercedes-Maybach features include a new front bumper with upgraded lower section and also numerous chrome highlights to visibly enhance the special aspirations of luxury.
The Maybach emblem is discreetly featured on the vehicle’s wing. Other special elements on the exterior include 20‑inch Maybach forged wheels in a bichromatic finish. On opening the doors, the Maybach logo is projected onto the floor by means of entrance lighting.
“Everything flows” is the interior theme for this new Maybach drop-top. Interior elements are commissioned individually for each vehicle based on the colour and grain. In addition to trim on the instrument panel and door panelling, the Cabriolet boasts a trim element on top of the soft-top compartment with inlaid Maybach logo. As an option, the look can be refined with “flowing lines”. Merc says, a unique yacht ambience is created, inspired by the Mercedes-Benz Style ‘Arrow 460-Granturismo’ yacht.
Exclusive to the Mercedes-Maybach S 650 Cabriolet are trim elements in designo nut brown magnolia, either with flowing lines or in a high-gloss finish. Nine additional interior colour concepts – from pastel yellow/black to porcelain/saddle brown, to provide further individualisation.
Mercedes-Maybach logos are located on the front side of the seats (embroidered), on the back of the head restraints (embossed) and also inlaid in the stowage cover of the centre console.
Other details include deep-pile floor mats, chrome-plated “1 of 300” lettering on the cup holder, and the steering wheel which features Maybach lettering on the lower bezel. The Cabriolet will be delivered with a special “welcome pack”. This comprises a keyring made of the Nappa leather used in the vehicle and in the interior colour, with Maybach emblem and “1 of 300” lettering, as well as a certificate signed by Dr Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars.
All of the optional extras of the S‑Class Cabriolet come as standard on the Mercedes-Maybach, including Aircap, Airscarf and Swarovski headlamps.
The Mercedes-Maybach S 650 Cabriolet gets a travel luggage set from Maybach – Icons of Luxury, their fashion brand. “The Affinity” set comprises 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 will be tailored to match the Cabriolet.
The bags can be securely attached to each other with straps to enable optimum use of the space in the boot.
Powering all this luxury is a 6.0-litre V12 biturbo engine, producing 630 hp between 4800-5400 rpm and an insane 1,000 Nm (738 lb-ft) of torque between 2300-4300 rpm. Merc’s 7G-Tronic takes care of the transmission, and the power is sent to the rear axle. As expected, the Airmatic suspension comes as standard. A 0-100 km/h (62 mph) happens in 4.1 seconds and top speed is limited to 250 km/h (155 mph). And fuel efficiency? Oh, come on! Does that even matter?
