Mercedes-Maybach S650 Cabriolet


The S650 cabriolet is the second vehicle released under the rebranded Mercedes-Maybach after the S600. Like nearly all vehicles in the Mercedes-Maybach sub-brand, the S650 cabriolet is powered by a 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 producing 621 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. It travels from 0 to 60 mph in 4 seconds. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed automatic. Features that distinguish the S650 from other S-Class convertibles consist of Maybach badges, chrome bumpers, unique 20-spoke wheels with center-lock caps covering the lug nuts, standard Swarovski crystal headlights, and exclusive quilted leather patterns. Only three configurations are offered with the Maybach S650 cabriolet: blue with a beige top, red with a black top, and white with a blue top. The S650 cabriolet was made solely for the 2017 model year with a total production run of 300 units. Of those 300 units, 75 were allocated to the United States. A "1 of 300" plaque adorns the center console of each Mercedes-Maybach S650 cabriolet. In all, the Maybach S650 cabriolet is an incredible ultra-luxury convertible that is worth every penny. When I first spotted one in Beverly Hills about four months ago, I didn't think it was as rare as it is since it is basically a dressed up S-Class convertible. This makes the Maybach S650 cabriolet even more special in my eyes. However, if I had to choose, I would give the slight edge to the very similar AMG S65 due to the latter's more athletic nature while maintaining almost the same level of comfort as the S650.
