Vision’s power source is a 80 kWh battery
The centre tunnel where a transmission normally goes is instead a transparent tube which visualises the flow of electricity. One continuous glass screen runs the width of the dashboard and extends into the doors where things like front seat settings and rear-views (with images relayed from exterior cameras) are shown on each side, and the windscreen serves as part of the infotainment centre displaying things like map data with augmented reality-type readouts controlled by hand gestures.
High-end materials such as rose gold are used to create a rich atmosphere, and open-pore elm is laid in the floor for a sort of luxury yacht feeling. The Maybach’s seats are covered with white leather (dalmatian fur is not an option) in a modern take on old-school Chesterfield style, but the upholstery buttons are actually body sensors to monitor passengers’ vital signs. This data is then used to adjust climate settings, mood lighting and massage functions automatically.
So what, if anything, can we take from this imposing coupé concept? A whole lot, probably. First and foremost the Vision 6 likely foreshadows a two-door Maybach to sell alongside its existing limousine range. Augmented reality windscreens and body-sensing seats are in our opinion a long way off, but cameras instead of wing mirrors and new battery recharging methods could be inclusions in cars just around the corner. The silent nature of fully-electric cars could also be a perfect fit for this epicurean brand.
