Daytona74 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Mercedes has unveiled a design study for a Mercedes-Maybach convertible that draws heavily on Art Deco design: https://www.engadget.com/2017/08/19/mercedes-vision-6-concept-car/#gallery=774967&slide=7038546&index=1 It appears to be a 20-foot all-electric car capable of delivering 750hp with a range of 200 miles. Probably not the best car to take the kids to school or do a groceries run, but wouldn't you like to zip down Ocean Drive and the Art Deco District in this... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IA-SteveB Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Great car. Not crazy about the wheels, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daytona74 Posted August 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) I think the design of the wheels isn't so bad. But together with those low-profile tires, huge rims like that often look a little pretentious. Those must be 22'' rims or something. Looks a little big for a car that has otherwise quite a low belt line. Also, I imagine it's always difficult parking a car with wheels like that on a curb without putting a dent in your rims...

IA-SteveB Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Parking by a curb would be a chore. Those vanes just seem to WANT curb rash on them sticking out so far. I suppose if you can afford the car a little fix-up to a $5000 wheel isn't hard to stomach. That said, I'd still take one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... people like that think in different categories... they spend more than that on a new wrist watch or a set of earrings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
