The Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series is the first two-seater roadster in Maybach history and stands as the brand’s sportiest model to date. As with all Maybach vehicles, it offers a comprehensive suite of standard features including two specially curated design concepts – “Red Ambience” and “White Ambience” – each featuring distinctive two-tone paintwork and exclusive interior themes.
“White Ambience” showcases a new interpretation of Maybach’ signature two-tone paint with Obsidian Black Metallic over MANUFAKTUR Moonlight White Magno. In “Red Ambience,” Obsidian Black Metallic contrasts elegantly with MANUFAKTUR Garnet Red Metallic. In addition to the two design themes, MANUFAKTUR Exclusive paint options are also available upon request, allowing for a highly personalized expression of the Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series2.
Exterior design highlights include an illuminated Maybach grille featuring an upright Mercedes-Benz star, an optional PixelPaint Mercedes-Maybach hood pattern, rose‑gold accents and chrome elements, plus exclusive 21‑inch forged wheels and a soft top embossed with an anthracite Maybach pattern. The rear features Maybach‑logo taillights, a chrome-accented fascia, a diffuser and aerodynamic scoops.
Inside, both concepts feature sustainably tanned MANUFAKTUR Crystal White Exclusive Nappa leather, extending across the door panels, center console and the brand’s signature comfort seats. The digital driver display and electrically adjustable center multimedia display feature Maybach-specific start-up animations and display themes. Additional Maybach hallmarks include the signature steering wheel, stainless steel pedals and illuminated stainless-steel door sills.
Powering the Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series is a handcrafted 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine, producing 577 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. This performance translates into a 0–60 mph time of approximately 4.0 seconds, delivered via a 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission and 4MATIC+ fully variable all-wheel drive system, ensuring optimal traction and driving safety in any driving condition. The advanced chassis features active hydraulic roll stabilization and rear-axle steering for agile, composed handling. Four drive programs – “Comfort,” “Maybach,” “Sport” and “Individual” – allow for tailored driving experiences. Extensive sound insulation, an acoustic soft top and a bespoke exhaust system provide the serene ride quality expected of a Maybach.
With its blend of bespoke craftsmanship, advanced engineering and thoughtfully curated design concepts, the SL 680 Monogram Series introduces a new dimension of luxury roadster—tailored, expressive and unmistakably Maybach.

Iconic design refined with exclusive Maybach elements
In keeping with the brand philosophy, the Mercedes-Maybach SL offers a holistic sensory experience. The contours of the Maybach-specific chrome radiator grille are illuminated, as is the finely integrated MAYBACH lettering. The distinctive hood bears an upright Mercedes star and a chrome element positioned longitudinally along the center. To further enhance exclusivity, the Obsidian Black Metallic hood is also available with the Maybach pattern incorporated in Graphite Grey. This is accomplished with a complex process where the hood first receives a base coat and is sanded by hand. The Maybach pattern is then printed onto the hood. Next, the hood is coated in matte clear, sanded by hand and finally finished with an additional coat of matte clear. Each part of the process is meticulously executed with the utmost precision.
Exquisite exterior details continue with rose gold accents adorning the headlights, windshield frame finished in chrome and side sill panels featuring an integrated chrome element. The unique front fascia of the Mercedes-Maybach SL emphasizes the vehicle’s width with horizontal air intakes. Exclusive 21-inch Maybach forged wheels in a 5-hole Monoblock or multi-spoke design further underscore the special nature of the vehicle.
The extensively insulated acoustic soft top is covered in light black fabric with a subtle anthracite Maybach pattern. The rear of the vehicle is characterized by taillights with the Maybach light signature, brand-specific rear fascia with chrome accents, unique diffuser panel and tailpipe trims with a signature horizontal bar. Behind the seats, an aerodynamically designed double scoop reinforces the distinctive design. Together with the chrome element on the hood, it gives the profile of the two-seater particularly elegant and sporty proportions, especially with the top down.
Maybach-specific interior with radiant, Crystal White Nappa leather
Inside, sustainably tanned, MANUFAKTUR Crystal White Exclusive Nappa leather creates an exceptionally exquisite ambience. It extends to the door panels, center console and the brand’s signature comfort seats. The seat upholstery features a new unique geometric design. The space behind the seats is also finished in Crystal White Nappa leather. The seat backrests and silver chrome trim provide a striking contrast.
The digital driver display and electrically adjustable center multimedia display feature Maybach-specific start-up animations and display styles. Further brand hallmarks in the interior include the steering wheel, stainless steel pedals and stainless steel door sills.
High level of comfort combined with superior eight-cylinder driving experience
The highest standards also apply to the acoustic and road comfort of the Mercedes-Maybach SL. Comprehensive measures ensure the quiet, comfortable driving experience typical to the brand. This includes a unique exhaust system, an extensive sound insulation and absorption package, as well as special tuning of the suspension and engine mounts optimized for comfort. The combination of a 577 hp 4.0-liter biturbo engine and smooth-shifting 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission with bespoke calibration ensures the supreme dynamic driving pleasure expected of a Maybach. The 4MATIC+ fully variable all-wheel drive ensures outstanding traction and driving safety in all driving conditions. Standard rear axle steering contributes to the vehicle’s agile and stable handing.
