This exclusive convertible blends high-performance engineering with the luxury craftsmanship synonymous with the Maybach name. Built on the SL platform, the vehicle features refined aesthetics, including signature Maybach design elements, premium materials, and state-of-the-art technology.

Mercedes-Benz has made significant updates to the 4.0-litre bi-turbo V8 unit in the Maybach SL 680, though it continues to produce 577bhp of maximum power and 800Nm of peak torque. The model also retains standard rear-axle steering. Transmission duties are handled by a nine-speed automatic transmission powering all four wheels.

With a refined power delivery, the car reaches from 0-100km/h in 4.1 seconds – 0.5 seconds slower than the AMG SL 63. The top speed is electronically limited to 260km/h, compared to 315km/h on the AMG. Additional changes include a retuned suspension, a redesigned exhaust system, and enhanced cabin insulation.
