奔驰-迈巴赫近日在加州原石滩车展发布了Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6纯电动概念车。该车在外观设计上模仿上世纪30年代主流设计，类似二战前的布加迪和Talbot-Lagos。Vision 6的侧面轮廓非常漂亮，浮动的线条和类似轿跑车的车身比例营造了非常性感的车身。奇幻的鸥翼式车门向人们展示了奔驰过去的设计风格。车头硕大的镀铬格栅和垂直竖条占据了车头的绝大部分，两侧横向分布的细窄的LED大灯看起来很诡异。车尾可以看到两个细小的车窗，就像两张张开的嘴，中间是一条从顶部一直延伸至车尾的凸起的线条。往下是雕刻感的车尾和散流器。Vision 6的车身长度为5.6米，比劳斯莱斯幻影轿跑车还长25.4毫米。不过，它的车身高度只有1328毫米，远低于幻影轿跑车的1598毫米。车厢内采用未来主义风格经典设计，内部2+2座椅布局。座椅设计也很独特，采用环抱式，包裹性和支撑性很强。至于挡风玻璃，得益于高科技手段，可以将更多信息投射到风挡上。该车动力系统包括四台电机，总计输出功率550千瓦/738马力。这辆全轮驱动概念车百公里加速时间不到4秒。地板下的80千瓦电池组，续航里程超过500公里。

The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 is pure electric excess

Debuting during Monterey Car Week, the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 concept takes clear inspiration from streamlined exterior designs from the 1930s, like on pre-war Bugattis and Talbot-Lagos. The classic look should fit in perfectly with the many classic vehicles on hand for the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.

 

The Vision 6 looks best in profile, where you can admire its flowing lines and see the coupe’s immense size. Chrome strips also accentuate the curvaceous body. The gullwing doors are a fantastic reference to Mercedes’ past, too. A massive chrome grille with vertical slats dominates the front end, and just a narrow line of LEDs flank each side. At the rear, there are two, tiny split windows with a small fin between them, and the designers beautifully sculpt the tail and diffuser into a sophisticated curve.

 

The Vision 6’s gargantuan footprint is very imposing, and we’d love to see how it looks in a darker color. Measuring 222 inches (5.6 meters) long, the vehicle is about an inch larger than a Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe. The Maybach appears even bigger, though, because being just 52.3 inches (1,328 millimeters) tall accentuates the flowing lines across the body. For reference, a Phantom Coupe has a height of 62.9 inches (1,598 mm).

 

Inside, Maybach eschews the exterior’s classic inspiration for something more futuristic. The Vision 6 is technically a 2+2, but the occupants in front have things the best. They sit in deeply sculpted seats and look out through an augmented reality windshield. The materials are top class, too, including rose gold trim and elm floors.

 

The concept’s powertrain shows Maybach’s eye to what’s next because the Vision 6 uses four electric motors for a total system output of 738 horsepower (550 kilowatts). This all-wheel-drive powertrain could get the coupe to 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in less than four seconds. An 80 kilowatt-hour battery under the floor would allow for over 500 km (311 miles) with the New European Driving Cycle evaluation.

 

Motor1 has a team attending Monterey Car Week, so look for complete coverage of the many automotive events there. We should have more photos of the Vision 6 soon, too.
