Despite its impressive length of 5,700 mm, the Maybach 6 accommodates only four passengers, paying homage to the elegant aero style coupes of the past, such as the iconic 300SL. Taking inspiration from the SL, the Maybach 6 features massive gullwing doors. The front end, spanning 2,100 mm wide, boasts LED wing lights, an imposing chrome grille, and an upright Mercedes-Benz logo. Its stunning Maybach red paintwork completes the picture. The rear end of the Maybach 6 is equally distinctive, with its extended round 'boat-tail' design, reminiscent of a luxury yacht. Stepping inside, the Maybach 6 offers a truly unique experience. Mercedes refers to it as the «360-degree lounge» as the cabin is designed as a wraparound cockpit with a large glass area. The minimalist front dash extends into a center console adorned with illuminated elements. Surprisingly, there are no touchscreens in the Maybach 6.
