Mercedes-Maybach has always been synonymous with uncompromising luxury, and with the launch of the SL 680 Monogram Series, the brand has entered new territory—bringing Maybach’s signature opulence to the iconic SL roadster. First revealed internationally in August 2024, the SL 680 Monogram made its India debut on March 17, 2025, instantly becoming one of the most exclusive cars in the country.
Exterior Design: Maybach Elegance Meets SL Sportiness
The SL 680 Monogram builds upon the aggressive stance of the standard SL Roadster but adds unmistakable Maybach touches:
- Dual-tone paint schemes with options like Red Ambience and White Ambience.
- Classic Maybach grille with thin, illuminated vertical slats and a bold upright star emblem.
- Angular projector headlights paired with sleek LED tail-lamps.
- 21-inch forged alloy wheels that enhance its sporty yet luxurious appeal.
- Black soft-top roof adorned with the Maybach logo.
These details ensure the SL 680 Monogram is instantly recognizable as a Maybach, while retaining the athletic proportions of a grand touring convertible.
Interior: A Monogrammed Masterpiece
Inside, the SL 680 Monogram is a showcase of craftsmanship and technology:
- White leather upholstery with intricate stitching.

- Vertically mounted 11.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
- 12.3-inch digital driver’s display for a futuristic cockpit experience.

The cabin feels more like a luxury lounge than a sports car, blending Maybach’s signature comfort with the SL’s driver-focused layout.
Performance: The Heart of a Beast
Under the hood lies a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, tuned to deliver:
- 585 hp of power.
- 800 Nm of torque.
- 0–100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds.
This powerhouse is paired with an advanced all-wheel-drive system, ensuring both blistering performance and stability. Despite its luxury focus, the SL 680 Monogram remains a true driver’s car, capable of thrilling acceleration and dynamic handling.
Technology & Safety
The SL 680 Monogram is equipped with a suite of advanced features:

- 360-degree camera system for effortless maneuvering.
- Premium audio system integrated into the cabin for immersive sound.

These innovations make the SL 680 Monogram not only luxurious but also one of the safest convertibles in its class.
Exclusivity & Market Positioning
India has been allotted just three units of the SL 680 Monogram for 2025, with deliveries scheduled to begin in Q1 2026. This extreme exclusivity positions the car as a collector’s item, appealing to ultra-high-net-worth individuals who value rarity as much as performance.
Priced at ₹4.2 crore (ex-showroom), the SL 680 Monogram sits at the very top of Mercedes’ lineup, competing with ultra-luxury convertibles from Bentley and Rolls-Royce.
