Schönes Auto, Mein Freund

Jan. 31, 2017
A new limited edition ride from Mercedes-Maybach

Saying "nice car, my friend" to someone piloting the new 2018 Mercedes-Maybach S 650 Cabriolet would be something of an understatement, especially as only 300 of these luxury cars are going to be made this year, at $300,000 a pop, with only 75 slated to be sold in the U.S. Fleet Owner got a chance to get up close and personal with one of these soon-to-be-produced limited edition models at the 2017 Washington Auto Show and found that it could serve as the definition of "high-end" luxury as each car comes with its own custom-made leather luggage set. Included in the sticker price, of course! (All photos by Sean Kilcarr for Fleet Owner)
