Mercedes' just unveiled its $320,000 Maybach S650 Cabriolet - and it's stunning
The limited edition Mercedes-Maybach S650 Cabriolet is a four-seat, drop-top convertible that will hit markets spring of 2017.
Mercedes has priced the luxury car at a whopping €300,000, which is roughly $321,330.
The car is powered by a 6.0-liter V12 engine with an output of 630 hp and 738 pound-feet of torque.
All together, this car can really move. It has a top speed of 250 kilometers per hour (155 mph) and can accelerate to 100 kilometers per hour (62 mph) in a respectable 4.1 seconds.
Mercedes added quite a few luxurious touches to justify the Cabriolet's price tag. The headlights are embedded with Swarovski crystals...
...The car comes with 20-inch wheels...
...And the Maybach logo will project on the floor when you enter it.
Mercedes said the interior was crafted to feature "flowing lines" in the seats to create "a unique yacht ambience."
Even the drop-top itself can come with flowing lines as a trim option.
This is not the first time Mercedes has drawn inspiration from yachts. The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6, the first concept car given the Maybach moniker, was built with a sloping rear end to evoke the look of a yacht.
You can read more about the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6, unveiled in August and pictured above, here. As you can see, it comes in the same shade of red as the S650 Cabriolet.
But Mercedes specifically said the yacht-like elements in the S650 Cabriolet were inspired by its Arrow 460-Granturismo yacht unveiled in September.
Yes, Mercedes is in the yacht business now, and you can read more about that here.
But back to the Cabriolet — the seats feature outer diamond quilting.
It also comes with an engraving to remind owners how rare the car is.
The car also comes with a virtual driver's instrument and a display on the center console.
Here's a closer look at the view from the driver's seat.
If you're not too keen on the red, the car will have two other color options in the US. It comes in diamond white with a yacht-blue interior, seen here, as well as a Cote d’Azur Blue exterior and white and saddle brown interior.
The S650 Cabriolet also comes standard with a matching travel luggage set made by Mercedes called "The Affinity." The bag color will match the car's interior.
