Launched in August 2024, the Mercedes‑Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series unveiled a new pinnacle of luxury performance at Monterey Car Week, officially arriving in India on March 17, 2025 . This marks the first time the iconic two‑seat SL roadster has donned the prestigious Maybach badge and monogram-patterned soft-top, instantly setting it apart as the most exclusive and sport-focused Maybach ever .

At its heart is a re‑tuned 4.0 L twin‑turbo V8, producing an impressive 585 hp (577 bhp) and 800 Nm of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic gearbox and 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive. Despite its elegant grandeur, the SL 680 accelerates from 0‑100 km/h in a brisk 4.1 seconds, with an electronically limited top speed of 260 km/h .

The exterior exudes regal flair: an illuminated vertical‑slat Maybach grille, upright bonnet fin, multi‑spoke 21‑inch forged wheels, rose‑gold highlights in the headlights, gloss chrome accents, and the signature Maybach monogram embossed across the hood and soft top. Available in striking Red Ambience or White Ambience dual‑tone paint schemes with Obsidian Black bonnets, the SL 680 ensures maximum street presence .

Step inside the crystal-white Nappa leather cabin, and craftsmanship transcends detail: bespoke floral-stitching, a new three-spoke steering wheel marked with the Maybach logo, and satin‑silver trim enrich the ambience. A vertical 11.9‑inch MBUX display and 12.3‑inch digital driver’s cockpit, dual-zone automatic climate control, wireless charging, and softly tuned exhaust ensure comfort and connectedness.

Luxury doesn’t sacrifice refinement: the SL 680 boasts a quieter, more insulated cabin (thanks to soft‑engine mounts, sound‑deadening materials, and tuned suspension), while retaining rear‑axle steering and all the poise of its AMG SL 63 underpinnings .

Priced at ₹4.20 crore ex-showroom in India (on-road Mumbai ~₹4.97 crore), and limited to just three units for 2025 deliveries starting Q1 2026, the SL 680 Monogram Series is an aristocrat of the road—an open-top masterpiece that blends sublime craftsmanship, potent performance, and sheer exclusivity into one drop-top legend
