London: Mercedes unveiled its vision for the future: an all-electric luxury coupe. The Vision Mercedes — Maybach 6, which debuted at Monterey Car Week in Pebble Beach, Calif. is a 738-horsepower roadster that runs on a battery and four electric motors. The “6” in the car name actually represents how many meters long this car is, just shy of 20 feet. Mercedes showed off the concept in a bright shade of red.
The Vision 6 has a massive 738-horsepower engine which has a range of about 200 miles on a single charge, and can hit 60 mph in under four seconds, according to Bloomberg. It can also charge up to a range of about 60 miles in five minutes, the Quartz reported. The car, however, won’t be available but it’s supposed to reflect what a high-end Mercedes will look like in the next decade or so, Bloomberg said.
Mercedes executives likened the concept to a prized family heirloom, suggesting it’s more than just a piece of technology that you’ll passively enjoy for a few years, and then move on to the next shiny new thing. “This is a car you want to drive yourself,” Gorden Wagener, Daimler’s head of design, told Bloomberg.
