Mercedes‑Maybach SL 680 Monogram White Ambience Review

The Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series White Ambience is on display at JMS 2025, highlighted by its Opalite White Magno paint finish and handcrafted monogram motifs that cover the exterior and interior. The car is powered by a 4.0L biturbo V8 engine with 585 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque; accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds and has a top speed of 260 km/h.

Luxurious materials expressed through Monogram language

The version on display in Japan is called White Ambience, finished in Opalite White Magno matte white paint. The vertical grille is typical of Maybach, while the front bumper guard is also decorated with monogram logo motifs.

The logos appear densely on the hood and the rear convertible, using hand-polished techniques. The rear of the car still retains a sporty yet elegant look with dual chrome exhaust pipes. The car uses a set of signature Maybach wheels, different from the "pan" style wheels that appeared on the SL displayed in Germany in 2024.

Crystal White Cabin: Meticulously finished, driver-focused

The 2-seat cockpit is different from the familiar 2+2 configuration on the AMG SL-Class. High-end materials appear densely: Exclusive Nappa Crystal White leather, monogram leather steering wheel, gold-plated footrests and pedals engraved with the Maybach logo.

The entertainment system uses an 11.8-inch screen with the MBUX interface, which can be tilted to suit the conditions of use. Every decorative detail follows the monogram theme to unify the aesthetic experience between the exterior and interior.

V8 4.0L biturbo: high performance but prioritizes smoothness

The SL 680 Monogram Series is powered by a 4.0L biturbo V8 engine that produces 585 horsepower and 800 Nm of torque. According to the announcement, the car accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 260 km/h. These figures are lower than the AMG SL 63 4MATIC+ (3.6 seconds; 315 km/h), reflecting the focus on luxury and sophistication rather than pushing the maximum speed limit.

With a focus on hand-finished and consistent aesthetics, the SL 680 Monogram Series puts the emphasis on the Maybach-style luxury experience rather than racing absolute performance parameters.

Conclude

The Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series White Ambience is the German automaker's way of showcasing materials, surfaces, and craftsmanship within the framework of a two-seater roadster. The handcrafted monogram stripe defines the identity, the Crystal White interior reinforces the sense of exclusivity, and the 4.0L biturbo V8 ensures the performance presence. It's a showcase focused on luxury and iconicity, set against the backdrop of JMS 2025 in Japan.
