If this turns into a road-legal car, the 1% will jump for joy

GQ of Great Britain got their hands on the Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet which yes, is officially a concept (only for now, we hope).

By its full name Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet, this automotive design gem took the stage last summer in Pebble Beach. It stretches to almost 19 feet (5,700 mm) from nose to tail and rides on 24-inch wheels, but stunning looks apart, it is also an amazing piece of technology.

Power comes from four electric motors that not only give it all-wheel drive abilities but also return 550 kW (750 hp), enough to push the 6 from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in under four seconds. Top speed settles at 250 km/h (155 mph).

The full spectacle, however, lies inside, where a display strip spans over the dashboard, doors and rear, accompanied by aviation-inspired round dials and air vents.
