奔驰-迈巴赫近日发布了G650 Landaulet敞篷SUV，该车是一款具备越野能力的豪华SUV。与标准G级车相比，这款特别版车型后排座椅空间充裕，这主要得益于轴距增加了578毫米。该车配备可调节后排座椅，按摩座椅，双10英寸后置娱乐系统，22英寸合金轮圈及325/55R22轮胎，碳纤维前后保护装置，以及碳纤维轮拱弹簧和电动侧踏板，同时离地间隙450毫米。该车搭载一台V12双涡轮引擎，功率463千瓦/630马力，扭矩1000牛米。这款车将在3月的日内瓦车展亮相，随后将于月底上市。这款车只生产99辆，由麦格纳斯太尔在奥地利格拉茨工厂投产，首辆车交付时间为今年秋季。

 

Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet offers V12 power, S-Class rear seats

Mercedes-Maybach has turned the venerable Mercedes-Benz G-Class into a topless super-SUV that's as capable off-road as it is luxurious.

 

Compared to a regular G-Class, the special edition provides ample rear legroom thanks to a much longer wheelbase that has been stretched by 578 millimeters (22.7 inches). It eschews the G-Wagen’s standard rear seats to make room for a pair of individual massage seats borrowed straight from the S-Class providing a fully reclined position. At the touch of a button, the G650’s rear passengers are able to enjoy a “majestic open-air experience” thanks to the electrically foldable fabric roof, while for extra privacy there’s a glass partition separating the rear compartment from the driver’s area.

 

Those fortunate enough to sit in the back have access to their own center console with heated and cooled cup holders mounted between the two seats along with dual 10-inch screens and a pair of foldable tables featuring leather inserts.

 

Another aspect that separates the G650 from all of the other Maybach-branded models is the inclusion of portal axles borrowed from the G63 6x6 and the G500 4x42. It lends the Landaulet a substantial ground clearance of 450 mm (17.7 inches) and comes along with no less than three differential locks for ultimate off-road prowess.

 

As with the S650 Cabriolet, the G650 uses a biturbo V12 engine with 630 horsepower (463 kilowatts) and a mighty 1,000 Newton-meters (737 pound-feet) of torque, which in this new application are channeled to all four 22-inch wheels shod in chunky 325/55 R22 tires.

 

Mercedes says it will have the G650 Landaulet on display at the Geneva Motor Show in March before putting it on sale later the same month. Production at Magna Steyr’s factory in Graz, Austria is going to be capped at 99 units and first deliveries are slated to commence this fall.
