Mercedes Maybach Vision 6 Coupe Concept Driving Footage – Video

 

That’s right. Hiding beneath that flight deck of a hood is not a V-12 but a trunk with custom-fitted luggage. Beneath that is an 80 kW-hr battery mounted in the floor for better weight distribution and a low center of gravity. It drives four permanent-magnet synchronous electric motors, one connected to each wheel. Together they produce 738 horsepower.

Like the much smaller SLS AMG Electric Drive before it, Benz claims the 6 will hit 62 mph in less than four seconds and is limited to 155 mph. Driven normally, it’ll do 200 miles on a charge by EPA standards, and thanks to a DC quick-charge system, can take on 62 miles worth of electricity in just five minutes.
