The stunning drop top is the ultimate embodiment of the Mercedes' Sensual Purity design philosophy. The concept melds classic automotive design element with a sleek futuristic aesthetic.
"The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet takes modern luxury into the realms of the ultimate in luxury and is the perfect embodiment of our design strategy. Breathtaking proportions combined with a luxurious "haute couture" interior help to create the ultimate experience," Gorden Wagener, Daimler AG chief design officer, said in a statement.
