Mercedes-Maybach has unveiled a new masterpiece at Pebble Beach that captures the beauty and elegance of California’s Central Coast. The 2026 Mercedes-Maybach S 680 Edition Emerald Isle blends exclusive craftsmanship, coastal-inspired details, and world-class performance in a package limited to just 25 units for the U.S. market. Arriving in dealerships in fall 2025, this ultra-luxury sedan is designed to be as rare as it is refined.
The exterior draws its inspiration from Monterey’s windswept cypress trees and white sandy beaches. A special two-tone finish pairs MANUFAKTUR Exclusive Mid Ireland Green Metallic with MANUFAKTUR Moonlight White Metallic, applied with meticulous precision at the MANUFAKTUR facility in Sindelfingen. Chrome accents and 21-inch Maybach Exclusive Champagne Flute Multi-Spoke Forged wheels complete the serene yet striking look.
Inside, the cabin is a showcase of hand-crafted artistry. Edition-specific MANUFAKTUR Exclusive Light Brown Nappa leather is stitched by hand and covers the seats, dashboard, consoles, and door panels. The same supple leather is used for the steering wheel, comfort pillows, and folding tables in the rear. A MANUFAKTUR Black Nappa leather headliner with a diamond-quilted pattern adds to the sense of elegance, while Black Piano Lacquer Flowing Lines trim and silver chrome accents offer a tasteful contrast. Special touches include an “Edition Emerald Isle 1 of 25” badge with a Maybach floral motif, illuminated door sills, and high-pile mats edged in Light Brown Nappa leather with embroidered Maybach logos.
Every detail of the passenger experience is curated for comfort. The Executive Rear Seat Package Plus transforms the rear cabin into a first-class lounge with a four-seat configuration, a refrigerated compartment, and bespoke Maybach champagne flutes. To further immerse occupants in the coastal theme, the Air Balance cabin air system includes a fragrance created exclusively for this model. Hand-poured by artisans, it blends cedar wood, cypress, and sea salt to evoke the scent of the Pacific coast. The fragrance is packaged with artwork depicting the Lone Cypress of Pebble Beach and is accompanied by a hand-crafted MANUFAKTUR leather gift box containing two vehicle keys and a second fragrance bottle.
Underneath the elegant exterior, the S 680 Edition Emerald Isle is powered by a handcrafted 6.0-liter V12 biturbo engine producing 621 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. A 9-speed automatic transmission and 4MATIC all-wheel drive deliver seamless performance, while AIRMATIC air suspension with Adaptive Damping ensures the ride remains as smooth as the ocean breeze that inspired it.
With only 25 examples destined for the U.S., the Mercedes-Maybach S 680 Edition Emerald Isle offers an extraordinary blend of exclusivity, performance, and artistry, making it a rolling tribute to one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world.
