The Mercedes-Maybach SUV is here, and it's a G-Wagen

This is (supposedly) the new Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet before you’re supposed to see it. Just a few hours prior, Mercedes teased us with a lone image of the new G-Wagen wearing a teal exterior finish and a tan interior, but thanks to an Instagram post and a quick video walk around by AutoMailRU, we know exactly what this new G will look like. And it’s spectacular.

Naturally, it uses the same W463 platform that’s been around since 1990 – suggesting this could be the last hurrah for the now 27-year-old-platform. The new G650 ditches its typical sheet metal hindquarters in place of a foldable top. It also gains Maybach badging, which means it will be filled to the brim with luxury amenities.

Aside from the Kardashians having something new to flash around in, the purpose of this vehicle is what?

My only question to Mercedes is why? Seems like a waste of engineering effort.

Smart move on Mercedes part.

Its a fitting conclusion to the G-class 40-year model run.

It will be an instant collectible; I would guess they charge Euro500,000 for it.

Let me repeat, it will be an instant collectible.

Way to small and commonplace. I'm going to hold out for the 60 year old AMG Unimog Maybach series complete with Alpine Snow Plow Package in 6X6 configuration of course...
