Celebrating their world premieres are the first cabriolet from luxury brand Mercedes-Maybach along with the most powerful E-Class ever, which sees Mercedes-AMG set the new benchmark in the performance segment. While the Mercedes-Maybach S 650 Cabriolet embodies modern luxury in its most exclusive form, the Mercedes-AMG E 63 4MATIC+ offers an outstanding combination of performance and long-distance comfort in two power variants.

The Mercedes-Maybach S 650 Cabriolet is limited to 300 units worldwide and will come to market in spring 2017 at a price of 300,000 euro excl. tax.

The Maybach emblem is positioned discreetly and elegantly on the front wing. Another special feature is the 50.8 cm (20 inch) Maybach forged duotone wheels. Wonderfully refined propulsion is delivered courtesy of the 6.0-liter V12 engine with an output of 463 kW (630 hp) and maximum torque of 1,000 newton meters or 737 lb-ft.

Mercedes-Benz designers realised this waterfall visual with the aid of progressive perforation. The diamond quilting on the outer cushions and the Budapest-style piping bear witness to the carefully applied attention to detail. All special equipment available for the S-Class Cabriolet comes as standard in the Mercedes-Maybach, including AIRCAP, AIRSCARF and Swarovski headlamps.

At the same time, the engine is also now even more efficient, thanks in part to the cylinder deactivation function, which comes as standard. With acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) of 3.4 seconds (420 kW: 3.5 seconds), the Mercedes-AMG E 63 S 4MATIC+ marks the new best-in-class.

The completely redeveloped AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive unites the benefits of various different drive concepts with the new, fully variable front-to-rear force distribution guaranteeing the best possible traction in all surface conditions. The expressive exterior design featuring the new grille and coupe-like inset hood is a visual articulation of the amazing performance figures.

  • It's okay, you're just feeling ambivalent

    I almost always struggle to describe my state of mind when asked to consider how I'm feeling. How do you express emotions that exist together but work in opposition to each other? When invited to join a gathering with friends, I delight over the prospect of catching up but also yearn to be lounging at home. I'm inspired by an accomplished co-worker yet envy her. I feel happy about a new beginning but nervous and, at the same time, sad over the closing of a chapter.  It's complicated. A
