The 2016 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance is just around the corner and numerous automakers have already announced plans to unveil new products during the event. Among them is Mercedes-Benz, who will showcase a brand-new concept car wearing the "Maybach" badge. It goes by the name Vision 6 and it’s going to be the wildest vehicle to feature the Maybach name in the modern era.
Not much is known about it at this point, but the teaser shots published by the German marque reveal we’ll be seeing a massive two-door coupe. And by "massive" we mean it’s going to be six meters (19.7 feet) long, or about as long as the extended wheelbase version of the Rolls-Royce Phantom. For reference, the Mercedes-Maybach S500/S600 is "only" 5.5 meters (18 feet).
In many ways, including size, the Vision 6 will be a spiritual successor to the Maybach Exelero one-off that the German brand built for Fulda tires back in 2004.
As you’d expect from a Mercedes-badged concept car, the Vision 6 will probably feature a massive amount of new technology to go with the wild design, as well as fuel-efficient drivetrain employing at least one electric motor. Don’t get your hopes up for a production version, but a two-door Maybach based on the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe isn’t out of the question. Stick around for updates on the show car from Pebble Beach later this week.
