Introducing the 2025 Mercedes-Maybach SL680 Monogram Series: Ultra-Luxury Meets Personalization

Mercedes-Maybach has elevated the luxury roadster experience with the debut of the 2025 Mercedes-Maybach SL680 Monogram Series. Unveiled at the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours event in California, this ultra-luxury convertible is the first in Maybach's new Monogram Series, designed to compete with the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce.

A New Standard in Luxury

The Mercedes-Maybach SL680 Monogram Series is a more opulent version of the V8-powered Mercedes-AMG SL63 Roadster, which was launched in Australia in 2023. This two-seat convertible is crafted for the discerning buyer who values exclusivity and personalization. The Monogram Series introduces unique design elements, luxurious materials, and a range of bespoke accessories to match each vehicle's theme.

The Monogram Series is currently available in two models: the Red Ambience and the White Ambience. The Red Ambience features an obsidian black metallic exterior paired with 'Manufaktur' garnet red metallic paintwork, while the White Ambience combines 'Manufaktur' opalite white magno with obsidian black. Both models maintain the powerful 430kW/800Nm 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, nine-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive from the SL63.

Exclusive Design and Features

The Monogram Series brings a host of visual enhancements that set it apart from the standard SL63. The exterior is distinguished by a chrome bonnet fin, an upright Mercedes star, and an illuminated chrome-finished front grille. The windscreen surround is also chrome, and the headlights feature rose-gold accents, adding a touch of sophistication to the vehicle's aggressive stance. The rear of the car is marked by a unique diffuser-style bumper with chrome accents, while the choice of forged 21-inch alloy wheels, available in 'five-hole' or 'multi-spoke' designs, adds a custom touch.

In a move to emphasize its luxurious character, the Monogram Series has removed the rear passenger seats, transforming the SL680 into a true two-seater. This redesign also incorporates an aerodynamically optimized 'double scoop' in place of the rear seats, enhancing the car's sleek profile. For those who enjoy top-down driving, the 'light black' cloth convertible roof features the Maybach logo in an anthracite pattern, along with a noise-optimized exhaust system to ensure a serene driving experience.

Luxurious Interior with Bespoke Touches

Inside, the SL680 Monogram Series continues the theme of exclusivity with crystal white nappa leather upholstery throughout, complemented by contrasting silver inserts. The seats, also wrapped in nappa leather, feature a floral design and galvanised backrests, adding a unique and elegant touch. The Maybach-specific steering wheel, stainless-steel door trims, and pedals further enhance the luxurious ambiance, while a digital instrument display showcases a Maybach-specific start-up graphic sequence.

Maybach has also introduced a range of bespoke accessories for the Monogram Series, including matching leather jackets, sneakers, scarves, tote bags, and even dog bags, allowing owners to extend the vehicle's design theme into their personal style.

A Glimpse into the Future

The Monogram Series is Mercedes-Maybach's latest effort to push the boundaries of automotive luxury and personalization. While the SL680 Monogram Series is currently being evaluated for the Australian market, it has yet to be confirmed for local showrooms. If it does arrive, it will undoubtedly set a new benchmark for luxury convertibles.

This latest addition to the Maybach lineup follows the launch of its first battery-electric model, the EQS680 SUV, in Australia in 2024, alongside the petrol-powered GLS SUV and S-Class sedan models. As Mercedes-Maybach continues to expand its portfolio, the Monogram Series is likely to extend to other models in the future, although the brand has not made any official announcements.

With its blend of power, luxury, and personalization, the 2025 Mercedes-Maybach SL680 Monogram Series is poised to capture the attention of those who seek the very best in automotive design and craftsmanship. Stay tuned for more updates as this ultra-luxury roadster prepares to make its mark on the global stage.
