Handcrafted V8 performance with Maybach poise
At the heart of the SL 680 Monogram is a handcrafted 4.0‑liter twin‑turbocharged V8 producing 577 hp and 590 lb‑ft of torque, capable of 0–60 mph in about 4.0 seconds and electronically limited to 161 mph — performance calibrated for composed grand touring.
White Ambience: two‑tone, artisan details, and Maybach signatures
The Monogram Series brings a striking two‑tone exterior — Moonlight White Magno lower body against Obsidian Black Metallic upper surfaces — plus illuminated Maybach grille lettering, a standing chrome hood ornament and rose‑gold accents that announce arrival before the engine sings.
A whisper‑quiet open‑top salon
Inside, MANUFAKTUR Crystal White Nappa leather, illuminated Maybach emblems and an insulated Maybach‑patterned soft‑top reduce cabin noise to whisper levels, allowing open‑air driving without sacrificing serenity.

Whether motoring along the lakefront or threading Chicago avenues, the car balances show‑stopping presence with a refined, deliberate demeanour.
