PICS: Mercedes-Maybach 6 concept leaked online

By Ntsako Mthethwa

Following the range of teaser images and videos that have been making the rounds on the internet, official images of the Mercedes-Maybach 6 concept have finally leaked online.

Formally known as the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6, the coupe is more than three feet longer than an S-Class Coupe and even overshadows the Rolls-Royce Wraith by two feet.

The Maybach features gigantic coupe curves; enormous doors opens vertically with a roofline hinge.

The gull-wing doors appear to take inspiration from the recently-retired SLS AMG flagship. The doors could serve as a unique distinguishing feature in the ultra-luxe segment, while dispelling speculation that Maybach had been relegated to serve as a mere branding enhancement for Mercedes’ longest S-Class variant.

Rumours suggest the company is already working on a production edition, likely toned down but allegedly no smaller than the concept.

Since the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 has technically not been revealed by the German brand just yet, no technical specifications are yet available.

The concept will be on display at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
