In Mercedes they have proposed to compete with Rolls-Royce and Bentley on equal terms and the latest development from Maybach is the best example. Under the fancy name of Mercedes-Maybach S 680 Haute Voiturethe German firm climbs a new step in terms of luxury, exclusivity and craftsmanship, giving life to 150 units of a Mercedes S-Class that is quite possibly the best saloon that Mercedes has ever made.
for some time, Mercedes has proposed to reposition its brand in order to compete with the most prestigious firms. The objective is to make the leap from a premium manufacturer to a luxury firm, which is why Maybach was relaunched as an independent range and is now redoubling its commitment, giving birth to very special series such as this one called “Haute Voiture”, a denomination that makes clear reference to the “Haute Couture” that defines the maximum exclusivity in the fashion industry.
This association of Mercedes-Maybach with haute couture is not the first, nor will it be the last time that it occurs, which is why we must understand the Mercedes-Maybach S680 Haute Voiture as a true rolling showcase. Limited to 150 units, this S-Class offers an even more luxurious and extravagant vision in terms of the use of materials, colors and designs, highlighting its exterior two-tone configuration with a color Nautical Blue for the upper part of the bodywork and the wheels, and a color Light Shimmering Rose for the rest of the body.
To conceive the interior, different fabrics and motifs are used, combining with glass, wood or linen, rose gold finishes, chrome and special care in finishing even the smallest detail. Given that the Maybach S 680 is part of the creation of this special series, we are before an extended battle S-Class whose rear area is designed to accommodate only and exclusively two occupantseach of them enjoying independent seats with multiple electrical adjustments, heating, ventilation and massage, adding to this cabin two separate screens and a fridge where you can store the champagne and the corresponding crystal glasses.
On a technical level, the Mercedes-Maybach S 680 Haute Couture uses the highest exponent of the brand in terms of engines, a 6.0 V12 Twin-Turbo with 612 hp and 900 Nm. Thanks to this mechanics, this luxury limousine is able to enjoy a smooth ride like few others, but also allows you to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and travel at speeds of 250 km/h without anything disturbing its occupants.
