The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet is a massive six-meter (19.7-feet) long.
As Supercar Blondie herself – Alex Hirschi – puts it, this car is the ‘pinnacle of luxury’.
It’s just begging to be driven.

Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet
This futuristic yet classic cabriolet might not be suited to the German weather that Alex is testing it in – but it’s still the kind of car that makes you want to ‘feel the wind in your hair’ whatever the weather.
Plus the fact that it’s a two-seater means this isn’t a car you’re going to be chauffeured around it – the driving experience is key.
As stated on the Mercedes-Benz website, the timeless Maybach boasts a ‘sensual, emotionally appealing design and innovative technical concept solutions’.
This ‘defines the ultimate in luxury of the future’.
Its name – of course – comes from the car’s imposing size.
Not unlike the world’s most expensive car, the Rolls-Royce Boat Tail, it was inspired by a yacht.
As Alex puts it: “They wanted that very relaxed and stately feeling.”
She continues: “It’s gentleman-esque instead of like aggressive, sporty, and performance-based.”
At the front, it features the classic, pin-striped Maybach grille that’s reminiscent of a tailored suit, alongside cat-eye headlights to underscore that element.

The interior
With rose-gold accents in the cabin and light-up Mercedes badges set into the upholstery – the interior is every bit as impressive as the exterior.
A control screen spanning the entire length and front of the car is designed to keep the driver up to date with everything that’s going on.
There’s even access to a virtual concierge to allow the driver to interact with the car itself.
Under the hood
Fictional stats for the concept states there it would have four electric motors providing around 750 horsepower zero.
This would allow it to go from 0-100 km/h / 0-62 mph in under four seconds.
What’s more, the range would be just over 200 miles (321 km).
The concept also promised a 60-mile range within five minutes of charging.
All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
