The exceptionally brilliant red and the elegant white both embody sensuality, beauty, and lightness. They perfectly express the philosophy and driving experience of the new model.

Mercedes-Maybach

Iconic design refined with exclusive Maybach styling elements

 

In keeping with the brand philosophy, the Mercedes-Maybach SL Monogram Series offers a holistic sensory experience. The contours of the brand-specific, chrome-finished radiator grille are illuminated, as is the finely integrated MAYBACH lettering. The distinctive bonnet bears an upright Mercedes star and a chromed fin running front to rear along its centre. To further elevate the exclusivity, it features an obsidian black bonnet with the Maybach pattern incorporated in graphite grey uni. This process is very complex and is partly done by hand. First, the bonnet receives a base coat, which is then sanded by hand. The Maybach pattern is then printed onto it. Each part of the process is technically sophisticated and must be executed with the utmost precision. Next, the bonnet is coated with clear matte lacquer, sanded by hand and finally finished with a further coat of clear matte lacquer.

 

The inside of the headlights is finished with high-quality accenting in rose gold. The dedicated front skirt emphasises the vehicle’s width with horizontal air intakes. The windscreen frame is finished in gleaming chrome. A further chrome insert graces the sill cladding. The new Mercedes Maybach SL Monogram Series runs on 21-inch forged wheels in 5-hole design.

 

The extensively insulated acoustic soft top consists of light black fabric, with the Maybach pattern subtly incorporated in anthracite. The rear is characterised by rear lights with the Maybach signet, a brand-specific rear skirt with chrome trim, a dedicated diffuser design and tailpipe trims with a signature horizontal bar. Behind the seats, an aerodynamically designed double scoop reinforces the individual look. Together with the chrome fin on the bonnet, it gives the two-seater particularly elegant and sporty proportions when viewed from the side, especially with the top down.

 

The silver-coloured brake callipers with "MAYBACH" lettering showcase the braking system as a technical highlight. They visually emphasise the high performance and exclusive value of the Mercedes-Maybach SL Monogram Series – elegance in every detail.

Iconic design refined with exclusive Maybach styling elements

Perfection in every fibre

 

Inside, sustainably tanned, crystal white nappa leather creates an exceptionally exquisite ambience. It features on the door panels, the centre console, and on the brand’s signature comfort seats. The seat upholstery has a new floral design. The space behind the seats is also finished in white leather. The galvanised seat backrests and silver chrome trim provide a striking contrast. The MANUFAKTUR roof liner in crystal white MICROCUT microfibre adds a distinctive touch to the already exclusive cabin.

 

The fully digital 12.3-inch instrument display and the electrically adjustable 11.9-inch centre display incorporate the Maybach-specific start-up animations and display styles. Further brand hallmarks are the Wood/leather multifunction steering wheel, the stainless-steel pedals, and the stainless-steel door sills with illuminated “Maybach” lettering.

 

Enjoy top-down driving at any time of year. AIRSCARF wraps around the driver’s neck and nape like an invisible scarf of warm air. This way, both the driver and passenger can experience pure roadster enjoyment even in cooler temperatures without sacrificing comfort.

 

The ENERGIZING Package Plus delivers elevated comfort with coordinated seat climate control, ambient lighting, and multi-contour seats with massage function complement the ENERGIZING comfort control. The vehicle can keep the driver vitalised and pampered in order to ensure prolonged alertness at the wheel and a thoroughly enjoyable ride.

 

Further enhancing the in-cabin experience are the Burmester® high-end 3D surround sound system, head-up display, and high-pile floor mats. The vehicle key in high-gloss white with ornamental surround in high-gloss rose gold enhancing the exclusivity of this iconic model.

 

 

Perfection in every fibre

Effortless performance, uncompromised comfort

 

The highest standards also apply to driving and acoustic comfort. Carefully curated features guarantee a quiet and comfortable, typically Maybach, driving experience. These include a noise-optimised exhaust system, an extensive insulation and absorption package as well as a comfort-oriented suspension set-up and soft engine mounts. The combination of a 4.0-litre biturbo engine with 430 kW (585 hp) and smooth-shifting 9G TRONIC automatic transmission with adapted accelerator pedal characteristics ensures the supremely dynamic driving pleasure expected of a Maybach.

 

The rear-axle steering combines agility and stability for a manoeuvrable and safe driving experience. Additionally, the electronic rear axle locking differential optimises power distribution at the rear axle for reduced slip and increased driving stability.

 

The Mercedes-Maybach SL Monogram Series features ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension and front axle lift system which raises the front axle by up to 30 mm and protect the front bumper from damage.

 

Safety and assistance features include the Driving Assistance Package, Parking Package with Memory Parking Assist, MAGIC VISION CONTROL, GUARD 360° vehicle protection Plus with Digital Extras.

 

The new Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series is estimated from RM 2,250,000 for Peninsular Malaysia. Price is on-the-road, without insurance. With ample room for individualisation, customers can customise the exterior and interior of the new Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series via Mercedes-Benz car configurator at www.mercedes-benz.com.my/maybach-sl-monogram.
