2026 Mercedes-Maybach SL680 Monogram Series: A Sleek Two-Seater Masterpiece With Dazzling Chrome
Luxury and performance take center stage in Mercedes-Benz’s latest marvel, the 2026 Mercedes-Maybach SL680 Monogram Series. For the first time in modern history, the ultra-premium Maybach brand presents a two-seat convertible, making a bold statement by dropping its traditional backseat while doubling down on exclusivity.
A Design That Defines Prestige
The Maybach SL680 Monogram Series arrives with two stunning design concepts—Red Ambience and White Ambience. Each boasts a sleek black hood, contrasting beautifully with either Garnet Red Metallic or Moonlight White Magno finishes. These premium paints hail from Mercedes’ Manufaktur palette, offering buyers an array of 50 additional curated shades, some inspired by vintage Maybach and Mercedes models.

But what truly sets this SL apart is the opulent chrome treatment. The signature Maybach grille is gracefully adapted to the SL’s front fascia, topped with a classic upright Mercedes star. Chrome accents extend across the windshield, side sills, rear bumper, and exhaust tips, delivering an unmistakable air of luxury and sophistication. A delicate rose-gold detail within the headlights and Maybach-branded taillights further enhance its regal presence.
For buyers seeking personalized elegance, Mercedes offers a unique hood customization option—a sleek Maybach logo pattern printed in graphite gray using an innovative paint process inspired by inkjet printers. Meanwhile, two Maybach-exclusive 21-inch wheel designs add the finishing touch to this automotive work of art.

Power Meets Refinement
Underneath its glamorous exterior, the SL680 Monogram Series is built on the foundation of the AMG SL63, ensuring uncompromising power. Housing a 577-horsepower twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine, this grand tourer pairs its potent nine-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel drive, promising a smooth yet commanding ride.
Mercedes-Maybach claims the SL680 will hit 0-60 mph in 4 seconds flat—just 0.5 seconds slower than the AMG SL63. This slight dip in acceleration likely results from added weight and refined transmission tuning, prioritizing a more serene driving experience.

This luxury roadster is engineered for maximum comfort, riding on exclusive dampers and softer springs. Unlike its AMG sibling, the SL680 eliminates the hydraulic anti-roll bars, ensuring a gentler, more refined journey. To further elevate comfort, additional sound insulation and quieter mufflers mute the roaring V-8, transforming it into an experience worthy of the Maybach name.

An Interior of Unparalleled Elegance
Step inside, and you’re greeted by a Manufaktur Crystal White Nappa leather interior, complete with an intricate floral-pattern perforation design. Maybach has modified the seating, lowering the side bolsters for easier entry and greater long-haul comfort. Whether cruising along coastal highways or making an entrance at an elite event, this SL radiates sophisticated luxury.

Pricing and Availability
Set to hit the American market later this year, Mercedes-Maybach has yet to confirm US pricing.
