Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to the ultimate open-air experience: the most luxurious Mercedes convertible ever built. The Mercedes-Maybach S 650 Cabriolet is powered by the 6.0-liter V12 engine with 630 HP. It is an exclusive model, that will mostly find room in the exquisite collections: only 300 units shall be built.

Shortly after giving the world a glimpse into the future of mobile luxury at the Paris Motor Show, with the Vision Mercedes-Maybach, the brand brings the real thing: the Mercedes-Maybach S 650 Cabriolet, the luxury itself put on the road.

The convertible Maybach heavily relies on the drop-top S-Class in terms of proportion, but exclusive Mercedes-Maybach features have been fitted in it: a new front bumper, a high number of chrome highlights and naturally, the double M logo amplify the look of exclusivity. The cabriolet floats above the ground on 20-inch Maybach forged wheels in a bichrome finish. The opening of the door shall project the brand’s logo onto the ground.

Once the doors open, the VIP passengers are treated to a visionary concept, with the waterfall-like seat upholstery layout defined by progressive perforations, diamond quilting on the seat side bolsters and various three-dimensional trim elements. Optionally, the future owner can make the Maybach match his Mercedes-Benz Style “Arrow 460-Granturismo” yacht, by fitting it with a unique yacht detailing.

Designo nut brown magnolia is an exclusive trim especially conceived for the model. There are also nine additional interior color concepts, going from pastel yellow/black to porcelain/saddle brown.

Features that come as options in the S-Class Cabriolet, such as AIRSCARF, AIRCAP and Swarovski crystals in the headlights are now standard for the Maybach convertible.
