Mercedes-Benz has pulled the wraps off its boldest model yet — the Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series. First teased in the summer of 2024, the SL 680 Monogram Series is a limited-run open-top two-seater that fuses high-performance engineering with elevated craftsmanship. The SL 680 blends dynamic proportions with curated luxury, including two exclusive design concepts: “Red Ambience” and “White Ambience,” each featuring bespoke two-tone paintwork and crystal-white Nappa leather interiors.

The exterior carries signature Maybach styling with added flair, including a chrome A-shaped grille, rose gold-accented headlights and an optional PixelPaint-patterned bonnet. A 585 hp biturbo V8, semi-active hydraulic suspension and 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive ensure the SL delivers both grand touring comfort and sharp handling. The acoustic soft top, 21-inch forged wheels and advanced insulation underline its dual personality of performance and luxury.

Inside, refined touches include ventilated seats with a floral motif, hand-stitched trim and silver chrome accents. Buyers can choose from over 50 MANUFAKTUR exterior colors, or stick with the striking curated palettes. With the European rollout underway, the SL 680 Monogram Series aims to set a new standard for open-air Maybach elegance.
