Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet gallery
The Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet combine the luxury of the S-Class saloon with the capability of the G-Class SUV 
It also has a convertible roof over the rear portion of the car That combination of features makes it unique, and it's also rare: just 99 examples will be built While those in the rear can enjoy open-air thrills, the front seats are covered by a fixed roof The landaulet body style harks back to the era of horse-drawn carriages, where the driver would be exposed to the elements As well as luxury, the G650 Landaulet should also be incredibly capable off road, thanks to its 450mm ground clearance The roof folds down electronically, naturally, leaving the rear seats open to the elements Power comes from a 621bhp twin-turbo 6.0-litre V12 engine The Landaulet's rear seats come from the Mercedes S-Class, and can be fully reclined No word on price yet, but expect a figure of several hundred thousand pounds Even if you can afford the Landaulet, you'll have to venture overseas if you want one: it won't be offered in the UK As well as a vast ground clearance, the G650 Landaulet also has three differential locks, which should make it indomitable Mercedes says the Landaulet's roof allows occupants to enjoy a “majestic open-air experience”.
