Mercedes‑Maybach has unveiled an ultra‑exclusive version of its flagship S‑Class sedan – the S680 V12 Edition – with production capped at just 50 units worldwide.
Heritage‑Inspired Design
The limited model pays tribute to the historic Maybach Zeppelin, one of the first Maybach cars to feature a V12 engine in the early 1930s. Back then, the 7‑ and 8‑liter Zeppelin engines produced around 200 hp, a far cry from today’s 603 hp powerhouse.
Engine & Performance
Under the hood sits a handcrafted 6.0‑liter twin‑turbo V12 delivering 603 horsepower and 900 Nm (664 lb‑ft) of torque. Paired with a 9‑speed automatic transmission and permanent four‑wheel drive, the S680 rockets from 0‑100 km/h (0‑62 mph) in about 4.5 seconds and is electronically limited to 250 km/h (155 mph).
Exclusive Paint & Wheels
The car is finished in a two‑tone metallic lacquer: an Obsidian‑black base blends into a deep Manufaktur Olive metallic upper body that shimmers under light. Applying this bespoke finish takes 10 days – twice the time of a standard Maybach.
- 20‑inch Manufaktur Olive‑coloured wheels, exclusive to the edition
- Silver‑striped coachlines separating the two paint zones
- 24‑karat gold‑plated Maybach logo with a V‑shaped motif echoing the V12 cylinder layout
Interior Craftsmanship
Inside, the cabin boasts Manufaktur Saddle brown‑black leather, a Nappa‑covered steering wheel and roof lining, and a centre console plaque that reads “1 of 50”. Seat headrests are embroidered with the gold Maybach emblem, matching the exterior branding.
Pricing & Availability
In Japan, the S680 V12 Edition is priced from US $342,400. Only five units are allocated to the Japanese market; if demand exceeds supply, Mercedes‑Maybach will hold a lottery to determine the lucky buyers.
How to Secure One
Prospective owners must register their interest with an authorized Mercedes‑Maybach dealer. Should the number of applicants surpass the 50‑car limit, the brand will conduct a random draw to allocate the vehicles.
With its blend of historic homage, blistering V12 performance and hand‑finished luxury, the Mercedes‑Maybach S680 V12 Edition stands as one of the most exclusive sedans ever produced.
