Interior Luxury and Maybach Tech
Inside, the SL 680 doesn’t just pamper—it immerses. Lavished in Crystal White Nappa leather, the cabin feels more like a yacht’s salon than a sports car cockpit. From Maybach-specific startup animations to the seamless integration of the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX), the tech delivers intuitive luxury.
Voice control and augmented video navigation ensure a user-friendly experience, while every interface exudes exclusivity thanks to custom Maybach display styles that reinforce the car’s status.
Power That Matches the Prestige
Under the sculpted hood lies a handcrafted 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine producing 577 horsepower, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and fully variable 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive. The result is a luxury convertible that rockets from 0 to 60 mph in around 4.0 seconds, while maintaining a serene ride quality tuned for elegance over aggression.
Unlike its AMG counterpart, the SL 63, the Maybach version prioritizes comfort and composure, making it more yacht than missile—but still undeniably fast.
Exclusivity and Expansion
This new Maybach is designed for a global elite increasingly drawn to curated experiences over mere horsepower. Mercedes-Maybach is also extending its lifestyle footprint through branded lounges and high-profile partnerships, including a collaboration with German silverware artisans, aligning automotive luxury with home design and fashion.
With strong interest from U.S. coastal luxury hubs, the SL 680 is poised to resonate with creative professionals, CEOs, and collectors who see their cars as an extension of identity.
The Monogram Series goes on sale in 2026, solidifying Maybach’s place in the top tier of luxury automaking under the vision of brand lead Daniel Lescow. For those who demand exclusivity not just in how they drive—but in how they arrive—the SL 680 is the new benchmark.
