Unveiled at this year’s Monterey Car Week Mercedes Maybach has unveiled its first two-seater, the SL 680 Monogram Series. Similar in looks to the AMG SL 63 roadster this stunning roadster is the ultimate open-air experience..
The new Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 interprets the iconic silhouette of the SL in a unique way. Exclusive details give it an unmistakable Maybach treatment with just two design concepts offered: Red Ambience and White Ambience.
The Red Ambience model features a two-tone paint finish of obsidian black metallic over MANUFAKTUR garnet red metallic, exuding a sense of vibrant sensuality and depth. In contrast, the White Ambience model offers a refined interplay of obsidian black metallic with MANUFAKTUR opalite white magno, embodying an air of elegance and lightness. However, Regardless of what option drivers opt for, the car will feature a black hood, an illuminated version of the Maybach grille, and 21-inch multi-spoke wheels.
Inside, sustainably tanned, crystal white nappa leather creates an exceptionally exquisite ambience. It features on the door panels, the centre console and on the brand’s signature comfort seats. The seat upholstery has a new floral design. The space behind the seats is also finished in white leather. The galvanised seat backrests and silver chrome trim provide a striking contrast.
The fully digital instrument display and the electrically adjustable centre display incorporate the Maybach-specific start-up animations and display styles. Further brand hallmarks are the steering wheel, the stainless-steel pedals and the stainless-steel door sill trims.
Under the hood, the Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series is powered by combination of a 4.0-litre biturbo engine with 430 kW (585 hp) and smooth-shifting 9G‑TRONIC automatic transmission with adapted accelerator pedal characteristics ensuring the supremely dynamic driving pleasure expected of a Maybach. The fully variable 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive offers high traction even in slippery road conditions, thus increasing driving safety. The standard-fit rear-axle steering combines agility and stability for a manoeuvrable and safe driving experience meaning the car takes four seconds to reach 60 mph and can reach a top speed of 160 mph.
And if that wasn’t enough as befitting the new Mercedes‑Maybach SL Monogram Series, Maybach Icons of Luxury will offer a curated collection in boutiques and the online store from market launch. This includes a leather jacket, sneakers, a scarf, a tote bag and a dog bag. Their design is inspired by the materials and colours of the open-top two-seater.
Mercedes has yet to announce how much the Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series will cost with the launch schedulled to take place in the second half of next year as a 2026 model.
