🏰 “Majestic Elegance: Introducing the Mercedes‑Maybach SL 680”
Launched on March 17, 2025, the Mercedes‑Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series arrives as the first full Maybach rendition of the iconic SL roadster, marking a bold chapter in ultra‑luxury automotive history . Designed to blend opulent presence and refined performance, this two‑seat convertible starts life with Mercedes‑AMG’s potent 4.0‑litre twin‑turbo V8 engine, delivering a commanding 577 bhp (585 PS) and 800 Nm of torque, channeled through a 9‑speed automatic gearbox and Mercedes’ 4MATIC+ all‑wheel‑drive system . Despite its luxurious weight, the SL 680 sprint from 0–100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds, with a top speed electronically capped at around 260 km/h, ensuring this Maybach remains the sportiest in its lineage .
Visually, the SL 680 commands attention with its signature Maybach monogram embossed on the bonnet and soft‑top, illuminated vertical‑slat grille, sculpted bonnet fin, and 21″ forged wheels—introduced in two launch colorways: Garnet Red Metallic or Opalite White Magno, both paired with an Obsidian Black hood . Its sleek, revised bumper and chrome detailing further elevate its road presence, confirming Mercedes’ intent to rival the likes of Ferrari and Bentley on the boulevard .
Step inside, and the SL 680 delivers a sanctuary of craftsmanship and cutting‑edge tech. Sumptuous crystal‑white Nappa leather with bespoke floral stitching cloaks the seats and dash, while the driver enjoys a vertically‑mounted 11.9″ touchscreen infotainment display, a 12.3″ digital instrument cluster, ambient lighting, Airscarf neck‑heating system, Burmester (or optional Harman Kardon) sound system, and wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto . Luxuries such as keyless entry, power‑adjustable heated seats, and a 360° camera with ADAS umbrellas ensure this roadster feels as safe as it does sumptuous .
Exclusivity is paramount: only three units have been allocated to India, with ex‑showroom pricing set at ₹4.20 crore, and on‑road Mumbai prices reaching approximately ₹4.97 crore . Deliveries are slated for Q1 2026 .
From its March 2025 debut, the Maybach SL 680 stands as a masterpiece of luxe performance—a grand tourer that marries breathtaking power with bespoke elegance, ideal for those seeking Boulevard royalty with drop‑top grandeur.
