If you asked us at 3Birds Template to describe ultimate luxury, we would say it is the intersection where hot meets cool, where the passion of design meets the cutting edge of technology. This description makes sense when you consider the Mercedes-Benz brand and its dedication to the most advanced automotive technologies as well as the automaker's design philosophy of sensual purity. In other words, for a vehicle to be considered the ultimate in luxury, it would need to combine a gorgeous design with visionary technologies.

The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 more than meets this standard. As Gorden Wagener, Head of Design at Daimler AG, says:

Our sensational coupe, the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6, represents the ultimate in contemporary luxury. It is hot and cool. With its intelligent appeal and reduced, technoid look, it perfectly embodies our design philosophy of sensual purity and our pursuit of aerodynamic efficiency.

A concept vehicle, the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Coupe represents a modern take on classical aesthetics with a long bonnet combined with muscular ridges, a low roof line, and the rearward positioning of the cabin, all of which bring to mind the aero coupés of yesteryear. The interior, on the other hand, is a vision of the future.

The front windscreen doesn't merely display what's out there--it actively augments the driver's understanding of the world around them. Upholstery-embedded sensors can trigger emotional lighting effects based on the color of the occupant's clothing and displays can be altered and adjusted with a gesture. These are just some of the ways the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 transports its occupants through time as well as space. Add in its electric, emission-free 738 horsepower engine and its autonomous mode and it becomes clear that Mercedes-Maybach has officially delivered us the ultimate luxury coupe.

In fact, the only negative we can find about the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 is that it's a concept vehicle and thus unavailable at our dealership. Despite this, we're confident that elements of the futuristic coupe will make themselves known in future Mercedes models. Until then, we invite you to learn more about our current models.
