Vision mercedes Maybach 6
- Thread starter Steve Williams
- Start date
The exterior is gorgeous. The interior is a bit cold looking and NOT very pretty at least in the photos, but I bet it's going to be an amazing car to drive.
A little more glass in the rear windshield would be nice. The way it is now, every lane change will be an adventure!.
I think they should put the double M back on the hood ornament instead of the three pointed star shown in the video.
That car is 6 meters or 236 inches long!!!!!!!!!!!!

well IIRC the Maybach sedan was north of $600K so one can only imagine the cost of this one. I think it's gorgeous. The back window will be a challenge
The back window looks like it is an insert and could easily be replaced with a larger piece of glass. The conventional looking grill is interesting considering it is an all electric vehicle. I actually think that the proportions of the hood don't look right with the small cabin. Perhaps it is the camera angle, but it is all hood and high side sills. I like to it more when more than the drivers head can be seen from the side. I like the rear quarter view, but the interior is quite funky and will certainly be changed if it ever reaches production.
Thanks for posting these videos.

The hood is so long my first thought was inline 12. Hahahaha. I think it is great looking as a design exercise. I don't think driving a car with those proportions would be fun.
The side mirrors are too small, but they do look futuristic.
The rear looks like Iron Man's mask.
The car is too long; it would be tough to find a parking space, and narrow streets/highways with sharp turns would be harder to handle/maneuver.
I like the wheel's designs, the color is fine, but I don't like the white interior...they get dirty faster...more evident.
Hey, this only an opinion from a concept/practical artist designer. :b
Overall it looks a bit retro.

It doesn't have mirrors, I don't think. I'm guessing it has cameras for all your concerns.
Give me an interior that isn't... dumb, some real side mirrors, paint in black, and for God's sake take away the remote control ability... and I'd love to drive it all the time. I love the look.

I love it. Sure you can't park in many places without making a nuisance... I can live with that.
If it met my small criteria posted earlier I'd even overlook the Mercedes low reliability because I like the look so much. Hell, I might drive a black one regardless... but I'd disable the remote myself for safety reasons.
What can I say, I'm a suckered for overbearing long hooded cars with good stance (not Cadillacs)

I don't think you would want to park this anywhere except in your own driveway (when the sun is shining) or garage. In the ungodly event that it should rain, you could use the remote to drive the car into your garage. Why should you get wet going to the car???????
I don't own one, but Cadillacs today are much better than those of the past.
As far as reliability is concerned, you can't beat Japanese cars.
No no no... I'd want to park it in places where it forcibly took extra spots because there were no other options. Yes I know it's expensive but if at least one person doesn't ball with it, it has no real value; and I'm that type of person.
Hi
Subjective, of course:
Front View is gorgeous ..
Car's too long to be practical. Production model likely to be shorter
Back View .. Frankly ugly, reminds me of the 70's Buick Riviera.
And that remote control thing .. What for? Really? Cars are already doing these things all by themselves anyway. On the video I heard a rumble when the car "started". Isn't it supposed to be an electric car?

The Maybachs that I have seen (most recently one last week in London), all had one thing in common, they all had drivers for the cars. So the owners don't have to worry about parking spaces. In Hong Kong, the SOP for a chauffeured car is that the driver drops you off and then goes somewhere to wait for you. They don't have to worry too much about parking illegally, since they can always move the car at an instant's notice, if the authorities come along.
Of course, having a chauffeured sports car may defeat the purpose. Then again, you would need to have another car following you, with your entourage/bodyguards, if you got the sports car version. I saw my first Maybach sedan a few years ago in HK at Fook Lam Moon restaurant. It pulled up and out came two bodyguards with the owner of the car, while the driver stayed with the vehicle.
