Mercedes-Benz changed the yacht into a sports car straight to Rolls-Royce? !

After BMW released the new Z4 concept car, its appearance was stunning to many fans and won many eyeballs. As the main competitor of BMW, Mercedes-Benz certainly cannot tolerate the attention of the whole world to BMW. So today Mercedes-Benz also released a two-door, two-seat convertible sports car, which is the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 convertible concept sports car.

Represents vintage and luxurious appearance

In my opinion, the perfect word can be applied to this conceptual body. This car is 5.7 meters long and extends the design language of the Vision Maybach 6 coupe concept car a year ago. It adopts a long, streamlined yacht body with a long cockpit, short front suspension and long rear suspension.

This concept car adopts the Mercedes family's prehistoric face, and the net waterfall grille is further expanded. It almost occupies half of the front face of the car, forming a strong contrast with the slender willow headlamps, plus Mercedes’s consistent three-dimensional appearance. Logo design, the front face is very domineering.

The body lines are extremely smooth and natural. There is no excess of excess. In the body of 5.7 meters in length and 2.1 meters in width, only two seats have been put down, and most of the length has been occupied by the engine room. After the hood is opened, the long front suspension and the short rear suspension are the same as if it were a land. Yacht.

The stern design of the slender rounded tail makes me think that this is a luxury yacht that cruises on the sea, and the design of the soft white top is like sailing on a yacht. The slender, penetrating rear lights plus Cabriolet 6 add a touch of luxury.

Coming to the cockpit, the only two cabins in the entire vehicle adopt blue and white designs that represent the sea. The centre console and white seats embraced not only make the car look like a yacht, but also open up. It is also very much like a yacht. Not only that, Mercedes-Benz also added a ribbon display to the cockpit to highlight the luxurious and high-tech feel of the interior.

The power technology that represents the future

If you say that the appearance of this engine represents the past, then the power of this concept car represents the future.

As a zero-emission, pure-electric vehicle, the car does not rely on any internal combustion engine to drive, but instead employs four permanent-magnet synchronous motors. Each motor drives one wheel and uses a motor to achieve four-wheel drive. According to the Mercedes-Benz official introduction, this engine has a maximum output horsepower of 750 horsepower, a cruising range of more than 500 kilometers, and a charge of five kilometers for a cruising range of 100 kilometers. Such data can be regarded as a super run in a pure electric vehicle.

Moreover, Mercedes-Benz will also add smart navigation technology to the car. For example, you can “laugh with your friends” while driving in the car. It is also said that there will be a biometric sensor to monitor the health status of passengers.

Thanks to the design without an internal combustion engine, the slender wing of the concept car uses a gull-wing opening system. Drivers and passengers can also use tools such as rods, trolleys, etc., which look beautiful and practical.

Compared to the exterior design, I think that Mercedes-Benz's introduction of the power technology of this car is a bit unreliable, although I firmly believe that the future must be an electric motor, but I guess it should not be so fast.

Mercedes hopes for Maybach

Maybach, which was born in the early 20th century, has been committed to the manufacture of high-end models and engines. However, it has been unable to recover after the Second World War. It is known that Maybach was able to return to the automobile manufacturing industry after it was acquired by Mercedes in 1960.

However, Maybach, who was resurrected in 2002 to participate in the production of super-luxury cars in the world, has never been able to return to the past. Although Maybach 57, 62 has a certain reputation in super-luxury cars, its price of nearly 10 million can not convince people.

"Why don't you buy a Rolls-Royce for a budget of 10 million yuan? Instead, buy a Maybach with a Mercedes-Benz S600 look?" This was the dilemma of Maybach at the time. So that when Maybach officially stopped production in 2011, 57 and 62 sold a total of more than 2,000 new cars.

In the end, Mercedes-Benz had to use Maybach as its product line, aiming at the market gap between the luxury class and super-luxury class cars, and specifically build the Maybach S-class products.

This time the release of the concept car must also be Mercedes to use Maybach's reputation in luxury-class cars to create a luxury coupe. Have to say, Mercedes-Benz's understanding of the design is really very deep, at least from the appearance point of view, it is able to move a lot of people.
