Mercedes is aiming to show up rival carmakers at this year’s Monterey automobile Week with a roofless version of the Vision Maybach 6 luxury coupe concept. 
Said to “define the supreme in luxury for the future” the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet features the same 5.7m long body, substantial chrome slatted grille and sloping rear-end as the hard-top, but with a customized fabric top featuring interwoven rose gold threads. Bespoke 24-inch multi-spoke wheels also feature, while the rear shape is implied to replicate the deck of a luxury yacht.

Inside, the two-seat cockpit is covered in crystal white nappa leather, put together by folding the hide in a diamond pattern and fastening it with a button – a technique used on Chesterfield sofas. An open-pore wood floor with aluminium inlays again hints at the yacht theme.

The minimalist dash design features just three air vents and some dials, but all of the concept’s features can be controlled by a concierge voice control system that understands much more natural speech. features are then displayed on two head-up displays on the windscreen, while blue fibre optics visualise the energy flow of the powertrain. even more tech includes biometric sensors are said to record the “state of mind” of the passengers. 
Like the hard-top concept, the Cabriolet is propelled by a 740bhp electric powertrain. four compact electric motors across both axles allow all-wheel drive, while the 0-62mph time is said to be under four seconds. A range of over 200 miles is quoted, and a new DC charging system lets you top up the range by 60 miles in five minutes.
