Exclusive Mercedes-Maybach S 680 V12 Edition Finished in 24-Carat Gold
Mercedes-Benz has unveiled one of its most opulent creations yet – the Mercedes-Maybach S 680 V12 Edition, a limited-run sedan that blends ultra-luxury craftsmanship with the timeless prestige of the V12 engine. Only 50 units will be produced worldwide, making this model a true collector’s piece for connoisseurs of automotive excellence.
Unique exterior paintwork
The defining highlight of this edition is its special dual-tone paint finish: a sophisticated combination of deep olive and black, separated by a thin platinum-silver line. Unlike regular two-tone Maybach sedans, this process is far more complex, requiring up to 10 working days for completion. Layers of hand-applied paint and lacquer create an exceptional depth of color and mirror-like finish.
To complement the paintwork, Mercedes equips the V12 Edition with exclusive alloy wheels, adding to its distinctive road presence.
24-carat gold interior and exterior details
This special Maybach takes exclusivity even further with inserts made from 24-carat gold. Mercedes designers describe these accents as “medals,” symbolizing both the brand’s heritage and the V12 powerplant under the hood.
Gold details can be found both inside the cabin and on the exterior, ensuring a continuous theme of prestige. The interior combines finest leathers, real wood trims in custom shades, and gold inlays, making every ride a royal experience.
A masterpiece of interior luxury
Inside, the Maybach S 680 V12 Edition offers the ultimate in comfort and technology. The cabin includes:
Hand-stitched Nappa leather upholstery in bespoke color palettes.
Genuine wood veneers selected for tone and grain consistency.
Ambient lighting with 64 color settings.
A five-screen MBUX system for both front and rear passengers.
Executive rear seats with massage, ventilation, and recline functions.
Active noise cancellation for unmatched serenity.
Every detail emphasizes the Maybach philosophy: “sophistication without compromise.”
Power: The legendary 6.0-liter V12 engine
While the design is unique, the technical foundation remains the formidable Mercedes-Maybach S 680. Under the hood lies a 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12, delivering:
Power: 612 hp (450 kW)
Torque: 900 Nm
0–100 km/h: 4.5 seconds
Top speed: Electronically limited to 250 km/h
The car features 4MATIC all-wheel drive, rear-axle steering, and the innovative E-Active Body Control suspension, ensuring both supreme comfort and impressive stability. Despite its size, the S 680 glides with agility while maintaining the signature Maybach calmness.
Advanced technology package
The V12 Edition is fully equipped with the latest Mercedes-Benz technologies, including:
- MBUX infotainment with AI-based voice assistant.
- Driver-assistance systems like Active Lane Keeping, Distronic adaptive cruise, and Pre-Safe Impulse side protection.
- Burmester® High-End 4D Surround Sound system for concert-level audio.
- Full connectivity features with OTA updates.
This blend of timeless craftsmanship and cutting-edge innovation defines the modern Maybach identity.

Production of the Mercedes-Maybach S 680 V12 Edition is strictly limited to 50 units globally. Deliveries will begin in autumn 2025 across select luxury markets. Each car is individually numbered, making it a future classic and a symbol of exclusivity.
