Mercedes has just unveiled its highly exclusive all-new Mercedes-Maybach S680 4MATIC sedan, set to arrive in U.S. dealerships in the first half of 2022 with “supreme quality” materials, carefully hand-painted colors, and specific Maybach design elements. It will also come with a mighty 6.0-liter V12 biturbo engine.
As the most powerful model in the Mercedes-Maybach lineup, the S680 4MATIC will put down 621 hp (630 PS) and 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. With the aid of the 4MATIC all-wheel drive system and a nine-speed 9G-Tronic gearbox, this luxury sedan will rocket you to 60 mph (96 kph) in just 4.4 seconds.
With 31% torque distribution to the front axle and 69% to the rear, the S680’s all-wheel-drive system is said to offer the best possible traction and driving stability while also delivering the highest possible level of ride comfort, which is obviously very important in this type of vehicle.
The Mercedes-Maybach S680 has been further enhanced with active road noise compensation, which reduces unwanted low-frequency noises using counter-phased sound waves. This feature comes courtesy of the new Burmester High-End 4D Surround Sound System.
There are, of course, many other highlights when it comes to the new S680, such as its Maybach-exclusive lettering on the front bumper and radiator grille but also its engine hood trim strip, illuminated seamless door handles, plus Maybach door sill panels in stainless steel, illuminated in the front and the rear.
Speaking of visuals, buyers can choose between a total of ten color combinations from the Mercedes-Maybach paint chart as far as the two-tone exterior is concerned.
As for the interior, the German luxury sedan offers Nappa Leather finishes throughout, including the headliner, dashboard, instrument panel surrounds, armrests, glovebox, window frames, pillars, sun visors, backrest pockets, and even the door sill panel inserts. You’ll also find a Designo backrest trim in wood, diamond stitching on the seats, available silver-plated champagne flutes, and a refrigerated compartment.
Then there are the available electronically powered comfort doors, where the driver can control the rear doors remotely so that they open and close with no human effort (even on gradients). Using the MBUX Interior Assist, the closing action of the doors can even be started or stopped with a simple hand gesture. Furthermore, the same hand gestures can be used to control the rear roller sunblind in the panoramic sliding sunroof.
According to Mercedes-Maybach themselves, the new S680 4MATIC will stand as a direct rival to the Bentley Flying Spur and Rolls-Royce Ghost. U.S. pricing, meanwhile, will be announced at a later date. In Germany, the model starts at a whopping €217,323.75, which is the equivalent of $265,450 at the current exchange rates.
