Esanda kwethulwa embukisweni wezimoto waseMunich, i-Concept Mercedes-Maybach EQS ilindele iSUV yokuqala kagesi ephuma esigabeni sikanokusho sakwaMercedes-Benz. Kodwa iMaybach isivele inesinye isibonelo sikagesi esisendleleni futhi saziwa nokuthi sizovezwa nini: Disemba 1st.
Umcimbi wokwethulwa kwezinhlelo uzoba se-Art Basel Miami Beach, eMiami, eFlorida (e-USA), kanti kuze kube yimanje kuyaziwa ukuthi le “moto yombukiso kagesi” futhi yaziwa ngele-“Project Maybach”.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, kuyaziwa ukuthi le modeli engaqondakali izoba umphumela wokubambisana phakathi kukaGorden Wagener, umqondisi wokuklama wakwaMercedes, noVirgil Abloh, umqondisi wesilisa wezobuciko kaLouis Vuitton nomsunguli we-Off-White.
Lokhu ngeke kube ngokokuqala ngqa ukuthi laba ababili bahlangane ukuze bakhe imoto. Esikhathini esingangonyaka esidlule babedale i-“Project Geländewagen”, uhlobo lomjaho iMercedes-Benz G-Class uWagener awuchaza “njengomsebenzi wobuciko oyingqayizivele owethula incazelo yesikhathi esizayo yokunethezeka kanye nesifiso sokuhle nokungajwayelekile”.
Manje, kugxilwe kakhulu kuMaybach, ogubha iminyaka eyikhulu kulo nyaka. Kuncane noma akukho okwaziwayo ngokuzayo, kodwa abakwaMercedes-Maybach bachaza lesi sibonelo ngokuthi “ngokungafani nanoma yini eyake yabonwa ngaphambilini kwaMercedes-Benz”.
Umkhiqizi waseJalimane uqhubekile wathi lesi sibonelo "sibonisa ukuthi kungenzeka ukuklama okungaboshelwe kumiklamo ekhona noma imininingwane yokukhiqiza."
Konke lokhu kusenza sikholwe ukuthi lesi sibonelo sikagesi sizoba nesithombe esigqame kakhulu futhi sizomaka indlela yokuzamazama yalaba baklami ababili. Nokho, kubalulekile ukukhumbula inhloso u-Wagener ayichaze ngoMaybach esikhathini esidlule: “ukuchaza izinga elisha lokunethezeka”.
