Introducing the Mercedes-Maybach SL 680: The Pinnacle of Luxury and Performance

Maybach, the ultra-luxury division of Mercedes-Benz, has taken its signature opulence to new heights with the unveiling of the Mercedes-Maybach SL 680. This stunning vehicle marks a significant milestone as the first SL-based Maybach model and the debut entry in the prestigious 'Monogram Series'. Revealed at Pebble Beach, the SL 680 seamlessly blends luxury and performance, setting a new standard in the ultra-luxury roadster segment.

A Powerhouse Under the Hood

Underneath its elegant exterior, the SL 680 is based on the powerful Mercedes-AMG SL 63, featuring a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine that delivers an impressive 430kW of power and 800Nm of torque. This makes the SL 680 not just a beauty to behold but also a beast on the road. Maybach’s engineers have incorporated a unique exhaust system and additional sound insulation, ensuring that the SL 680 offers a quiet, comfortable, and luxurious ride that rivals the likes of Rolls-Royce and Bentley.

Distinctive Design: A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship

In true Maybach fashion, the SL 680 is adorned with two-tone paintwork, chrome accents, and a range of exclusive design elements. Buyers can choose between two sophisticated color schemes: Red Ambience and White Ambience, both paired with an Obsidian Black upper section that covers the bonnet and bootlid. The extensively insulated black soft top, featuring a Maybach badge pattern, adds to the car's allure. Rose gold accented headlights, exclusive 21-inch forged wheels, custom bumpers, Maybach badging, and a raised front signet further enhance its majestic appearance.

A Luxurious Interior Fit for Royalty

Step inside the SL 680, and you're greeted by an interior that exudes luxury and elegance. Both color variants feature a Crystal White Exclusive Nappa leather interior, complemented by silver chrome accents. Leather envelops nearly every surface, from the seats to the door panels, center console, and the area behind the seats, creating a cocoon of comfort. The seat upholstery showcases a unique geometric design, and the digital driver display and infotainment screen have been specially tweaked to feature exclusive start-up animations and display styles, further enhancing the bespoke experience.

The Monogram Series: Luxury Beyond the Car

To complement the launch of the SL 680, Maybach has introduced a range of matching merchandise. This collection includes a leather jacket, sneakers, a scarf, a tote bag, and even a dog bag, all featuring design elements inspired by the SL 680. This luxurious lifestyle range ensures that the Maybach experience extends beyond the car, allowing owners to embrace the brand’s elegance in their everyday lives.

Launch and Availability

The Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 is set to launch in the US with both color schemes in the second half of 2025. While it remains unclear if the SL 680 will make its way to Australia, there’s no doubt this ultra-luxury roadster will be a highly coveted addition to Maybach’s lineup, offering a unique blend of performance, luxury, and exclusivity.

Stay tuned for more updates as Maybach continues to redefine the boundaries of luxury motoring with the iconic SL 680.
