2026 Mercedes-Maybach SL
Mercedes-Maybach SL
For Sale in Lincolnwood, IL
The 2026 Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series marks Maybach’s entry into the open-top segment, transforming the already impressive AMG® SL into a bespoke luxury roadster. It’s built around the same platform as the AMG® SL 63, but with heavy Maybach influence: extra sound insulation, refined suspension tuning, and elevated finishes. Power comes from a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine tuned to 577 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 9-speed automatic and full-time 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive. The intent is to deliver grand touring capability in convertible form—luxurious, composed, and powerful.
The SL 680 will hit 0–60 mph in about 4.0 seconds, reflecting its added weight and the focus on ride quality. Top speed is electronically limited to 161 mph. While not as aggressively tuned as its AMG® sibling, the Maybach version retains strong performance characteristics, supplemented by chassis enhancements such as active suspension, hydraulic roll stabilization, and rear-axle steering. The roof is a heavily insulated soft top designed for both quiet cabin experience and elegant proportions when down. Aesthetically, the SL 680 is distinguished by its monogram motif that appears on the soft top, grille, and select leather appointments. Its presence is underlined by Maybach-specific design cues: vertical grille bars, subtle chrome accents, and bespoke wheels. The profile remains sleek and purposeful. Inside, materials are exceedingly rich: quilted Nappa leather, open-pore wood, metal inlays, and custom touches like embroidered Maybach logos, ambient lighting, and refined switchgear. The cabin is rebalanced toward silkiness over sharpness, but the architecture still supports spirited driving when desired. The SL 680 Monogram Series is less a raw sportster than a luxurious roadster designed for those who appreciate performance wrapped in comfort. It bridges realms: you get convertible driving, serious horsepower, advanced all-wheel-drive dynamics, and an interior environment rivaling Maybach sedans. For buyers who want the allure of a Maybach experience with the freedom of top-down motoring, this SL delivers both substance and style.

Features of the 2026 Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series
V8 biturbo engine & AWD.
The heart of the SL 680 is the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 577 horsepower and 590 lb-ft—matching the AMG® SL 63’s output but tuned for Maybach refinement. It’s paired with the 9-speed automatic gearbox and Mercedes’ 4MATIC+ variable all-wheel-drive system, giving it traction and all-weather capability without compromising composure. The drivetrain delivers strong acceleration while maintaining smooth power transitions suitable for a luxury roadster.
Built for speed.
The SL 680 is estimated to sprint to 60 mph in around 4.0 seconds, a figure slightly tempered compared to its AMG® counterpart due to added weight and luxury enhancements. Its top speed is electronically capped at 161 mph to balance high-speed capability with structural and acoustic refinement. These numbers position it as a serious performer that still respects the expectations of Maybach clientele.
Refined convertible architecture.
The soft-top roof is meticulously engineered for insulation and quiet operation, folding neatly with minimal intrusion on body lines. Reinforcements and bracing maintain chassis rigidity, helping deliver precise handling despite the loss of a fixed roof. Aerodynamic and wind management design mitigate buffeting and preserve cabin comfort at speed.
Adaptive chassis & control systems.
Chassis systems include active suspension, hydraulic roll stabilization, and rear-axle steering to fine-tune ride and handling. Maybach-tuned calibration softens responses for daily comfort yet tightens under dynamic inputs. The setup allows the SL 680 to absorb rough pavement and remain composed while still offering credible cornering ability when pushed.
Signature Maybach styling & luxury touches.
Exterior accents include the monogram motif on the soft top and grille, Maybach-exclusive grille bar pattern, bespoke wheels, and selective chrome detailing. Interior elements echo the exclusivity with embroidered headrests, leather quilting, ambient lighting themes, and custom materials. Every visual and tactile surface is elevated to reflect Maybach’s craftsmanship ethos.
Balanced drive experience.
While focused on luxury, the SL 680 maintains a sport-capable foundation: steering remains precise, throttle response sharp, and power delivery engaging.
