Mercedes-Benz Warns It Will Close a German Assembly Plant and Engine Factory Unless Costs Come Down
Sep 22, 2026The Spec'd take
Why it stands out
- A hand-finished 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with 585 hp and 4MATIC gets this two-seat Maybach roadster to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds and on to 260 km/h
- Full-on Maybach theatre: pattern-printed soft top and bonnet, illuminated grille with MAYBACH lettering, 21-inch forged wheels and a crystal white nappa cabin
- ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL, rear-axle steering and a front-axle lift system make it more usable over Indian speed breakers than most exotic roadsters
- AIRSCARF neck-level heating, climatised multicontour seats and Burmester high-end 3D sound make top-down drives a pleasure year round
Worth knowing
- At Rs 4.30 crore it is one of the most expensive Mercedes cars in India, and only two paint options are offered
- Strictly a two-seater, with CarDekho reporting just 240 litres of boot space
- Softer, comfort-first tuning means it is not as sharp as the Mercedes-AMG GT it shares its bones with
- Only 146 mm of reported ground clearance, so the front lift will get plenty of use
