Mercedes-Benz has teased the second Maybach badged model, the S650 Cabriolet, ahead of its official debut at the 2016 Los Angeles auto show. The short video posted on Facebook indicates that the 2017 Mercedes-Maybach S650 Cabriolet will be an ultra luxurious four-seat convertible featuring semi-aniline leather upholstery inside the cabin. Part of the teaser also suggests that the car will likely have a limited first edition model that will be limited to 300 units in total. Some touches that distinguishes the exterior of the S650 versus the standard S-Class Cabriolet include Maybach badges and chrome exterior accents.
As the name suggests, the S650 Cabriolet will likely be powered by the same 6.0-liter twin-turbo V-12 rated at 523 hp and 612 lb-ft of torque that could be paired to a seven-speed automatic transmission. Like the Maybach S600 sedan, the S650 Cabriolet will likely be rear-wheel drive exclusively. It’s also likely that a V-8-powered Maybach S-Class Cabriolet could follow the S650 featuring a 449-hp 4.7-liter twin-turbo V-8 coupled to Mercedes’ new nine-speed automatic.
Expect the 2017 S650 Cabriolet to be lavishly appointed just like its sedan counterpart with features such as a Burmester premium audio system, heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats, a fragrance dispenser, Mercedes’ COMAND infotainment system with a massive 12.3-inch screen, mood lighting, and a fully digital gauge cluster. A full suite of active safety systems including automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and pedestrian detection should also be available on the S650 Cabriolet.
