The Gigantic Mercedes-Maybach 6 Concept Has Been Leaked

The new gull-winged Mercedes-Maybach concept car has been leaked a day ahead of its launch at Pebble Beach for the Monterrey Car Week. Named the Maybach 6 - due to its colossal six-metre length - this concept car continues Maybach’s reputation for money-no-object luxury with a futuristic bespoke design.

After press shots revealed a long, smooth silhouette and a small surprise in the presence of gull-wing doors, the CEOs of businesses around the world will have been rubbing their bejeweled hands in anticipation of adding the luxury leviathan to their fleet.

With a curved, enclosing interior that looks full of state-of-the-art tech and design, the Maybach 6 is lacking a transmission tunnel which could indicate a move towards an electric powertrain for the Mercedes subsidiary.

All of the specs and images of the car will be released some time tomorrow, so look out for what should be an interesting take on the luxury car sector.

Keep up with Car Throttle at Monterrey this week through Instagram and Snapchat, as well as a Facebook live stream from Car Week itself.

Talk about the rear visibility… Its almost non existent… This is what I hate about concept cars.. The production one is not going to look like this at all.. Why do they have to show these futuristic interiors when they know its impossible to make it production ready… The rear doesnt go well with my tastes… The front looks much better..

Hey, I just met you,
And this is crazy,
But what’s the spec?
V18, maybe!

This is the kind of optimistic excess concept cars in the 50s and 60s carried. What a piece of art! Also, it looks far more legitimate and tightly screwed together than the Exelero. Can’t wait to see where Mercedes is going!
