Under the hood of the Mercedes-Maybach S680, the iconic V12 engine remains, but Brabus engineers have elevated its capabilities to remarkable levels. The upgrade entails a substantial enlargement of the twin-turbocharged engine's displacement, expanding it from its original 6.0 liters to 6.3 liters. This revamp is further reinforced by the integration of forged pistons, a custom billet crankshaft, and novel connecting rods.
Equipped with two high-performance turbochargers, this all-wheel-drive masterpiece sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.1 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h (155 mph). Thanks to the nine-speed automatic transmission, 850 horsepower, 1,100 Newton meters (811 lb-ft) of torque are instantly available, making every journey an unforgettable experience for both the driver and the passenger in the first-class rear seat.

The metamorphosis is not limited to performance alone. Brabus also adorns the vehicle with an exquisite carbon-fiber aerodynamic package, available in both high-gloss and matte finishes. This package encompasses a newly introduced front lip spoiler, stylish side air intake surrounds, and an exposed-carbon rear diffuser, specially designed to accommodate the tailpipes from the novel exhaust system. Notably, the car's auditory experience is enhanced through stainless high-performance pipes, integrating actively controlled butterfly valves for sound modulation.

The exterior enhancements harmonize impeccably with the car's interior. Carbon accents grace the steering wheel, dashboard, center console, and door panels, with even the pedals receiving pads fashioned from the same material. Brabus has finished this particular model with a sophisticated dark gray leather and Dinamica microfiber interior. However, customization options are abundant, allowing customers to select from an array of colors, materials, and finishes.
As for the financial aspect, this exemplary Brabus creation is available at a retail price of 470,000 euros (equivalent to 515,016 USD). For context, the base 2023 Mercedes-Maybach S680 model commences at $229,000.
