Mercedes-Maybach<\/strong>, the extra-luxurious marque of Mercedes-Benz<\/strong>, has revealed a follow-up this weekend to its bold and mighty Vision 6 concept<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The new concept, imaginatively named Vision 6 Cabriolet<\/strong>, was revealed at this week\u2019s Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance a year since the hardtop debuted at the same location.<\/p>\n Both concepts follow the 2005 Maybach Exelero concept in paying homage to the brand\u2019s streamlined and long sports cars of the 1930s.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n In cabrio form, the Vision 6 does away with the big roof, favouring instead a dramatic open-air compartment that benefits from a cream white soft-top for protection from the elements.<\/p>\n As with the coupe, the Vision 6 Cabriolet is a huge 19 feet or 5.7 metres long, making it a handy 100mm longer than the coupe in the only recently superseded Rolls-Royce Phantom VII range.<\/p>\n But, if you\u2019d like to compare it to a vehicle you actually see on the road more than once in a blue moon, the Nissan Navara \u2013 one of the longer utes on the market \u2013 is just under 5.6 metres long.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Also shared with the coupe is its two-seater layout \u2013 nothing says opulence and excess like a 19-foot-long car that carries just two \u2013 and a whopping 560kW of power delivered by four electric motors.<\/p>\n Those motors offer an all-wheel drive configuration, and Mercedes says the behemoth droptop will hit 100km\/h \u201cin under four seconds\u201d. More importantly for the likely buyers of this make-believe master of the motorway, a driving range beyond 500 kilometres is claimed.<\/p>\n
