New Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Convertible Makes European Debut

The model is offered with two main design options—White Ambience and Red Ambience. Each combines two-tone exterior paint schemes with a focus on interior leather treatments and chrome detailing. A custom PixelPaint process has been introduced for the bonnet, enabling a printed Maybach pattern that requires multi-layer coating and hand finishing.

The vehicle’s design includes chrome elements on the grille, bonnet, windscreen frame, and rear apron. The convertible soft top features a black fabric with an embedded Maybach pattern. Tailpipe designs, rear diffusers and forged 21-inch wheels contribute to its overall visual identity.

The interior is designed with white Nappa leather, applied to seats, doors, the console, and rear panel. The seat design and lowered sides aim to improve access and seating comfort. Chrome details and structural inserts complete the cabin setup. Over 50 optional MANUFAKTUR paint finishes are also available.

The SL 680 Monogram Series runs on a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine producing 430 kW (585 hp) and 800 Nm of torque. It is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and fully variable 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive. The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds and has a top speed of 260 km/h.

Driving modes include Comfort, Maybach, Sport, and Individual. The suspension uses hydraulic roll stabilisation with Maybach-specific tuning. Rear-axle steering and electronic locking differential are also included for handling and stability.

Sound insulation is applied across multiple areas, including the use of aluminium butyl sheets and acoustic foams. The exhaust system includes sound-dampening materials made from recyclable fibreglass.

The bonnet pattern is applied using the new PixelPaint process, inspired by inkjet printing. It allows detailed paint application without masking or overspray, reducing emissions and waste. This marks the process’s first use at the Mercedes-Benz Sindelfingen facility.
