Mercedes-Maybach is ready to have some fun. The German marque’s ultra-luxury sub-brand unveiled its first two-seater, the SL 680 Monogram Series, during this year’s Monterey Car Week . The stunning roadster is Maybach’s expectedly decadent reimagining of the powerful AMG SL 63 roadster.
The Maybach SL may look like the AMG SL at a glance, but take a closer look and the difference really comes through. The athletic convertible has been given the full Maybach treatment, even if its shape and stance remain untouched. The biggest change is the sub-brand-exclusive two-tone paint scheme.
For the first year, at least, the convertible two-seater will only be available in metallic Red Ambiance or glossy White Ambiance. Regardless of what hue drivers opt for, the car will feature a black hood, an illuminated version of the Maybach grille, and 21-inch multi-spoke wheels. Other luxe details include even more chrome trim than usual and a black soft top that, like the hood, is covered with a pattern of Maybach logos that calls to mind one of Louis Vuitton’s monograph bags .
Inside, the entire cabin, regardless of color scheme, the Maybach SL is covered in Crystal White Nappa leather. Other than that, the interior looks almost identical to that of the AMG SL, with the exception of a model-specific steering wheel and stainless-steel pedals and door sills. The cabin has also been outfitted with sound-deadening material to keep engine noise down, as well.
That’s because the Maybach, .
