And that's the case with the 6-metres long Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet that Daimler made for the annual Pebble Beach auto extravaganza in Florida.
Designed as an electric car, the one-off ultra-luxury open top has 750hp available and its underfloor battery provides a claimed range of over 500km.
The styling is a modern interpretation of art deco, and an extremely long bonnet emphasises the flowing lines of the cabrio.
