Mercedes-Maybach has decided that the California Central Coast isn’t just a scenic drive — it’s an interior design mood board. Enter the 2026 Mercedes-Maybach S 680 Edition Emerald Isle, a rolling tribute to Pebble Beach and its Monterey cypress–lined shores. Limited to just 25 units for the U.S., this ultra-luxe sedan will begin arriving at dealerships in fall 2025, assuming you can convince your financial advisor — and your local dealer — that you’re worthy of one.
Two-Tone Like a Sunset Over the Pacific
The Emerald Isle wears an edition-exclusive, two-tone paint scheme: MANUFAKTUR Exclusive Mid Ireland Green Metallic over MANUFAKTUR Moonlight White Metallic. The finish is hand-applied in Sindelfingen, the spiritual home of Mercedes’ bespoke MANUFAKTUR program. Chrome accents and 21-inch Maybach Champagne Flute Multi-Spoke Forged wheels turn the stately silhouette into something that will draw stares even in a valet line full of exotics.
An Interior for the Long Way Home
Step inside, and it’s clear no stitch was left unconsidered. Light Brown Nappa leather dominates — from the seats and instrument panel to the folding rear tables — offset by a MANUFAKTUR Black Nappa leather headliner stitched in a diamond pattern. Black Piano Lacquer Flowing Lines trim and silver chrome accents punctuate the cabin. Look closely, and you’ll find “Edition Emerald Isle 1 of 25” badging, Maybach floral motifs on the door sills, and floor mats with leather piping so decadent you’ll reconsider wearing shoes inside.
The Executive Rear Seat Package Plus is standard, turning the back half of the car into a mobile first-class lounge. There’s a refrigerator, Maybach champagne flutes, and enough legroom to consider taking business calls from Highway 1 without ever touching the brake pedal.
A Coastal Breeze, Bottled
Mercedes-Maybach even commissioned artisans to create a bespoke fragrance for the Air Balance system: cedar wood, cypress, and sea salt — essentially, a California road trip in scent form. The bottle’s packaging features artwork of Pebble Beach’s Lone Cypress, because nothing says “exclusive” like your own signature air.
Under the Hood: A V12 Finale?
Motivation comes from the brand’s handcrafted 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12, good for 621 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic and 4MATIC all-wheel drive. AIRMATIC air suspension with adaptive damping ensures that all this elegance floats along without a hint of disturbance from the asphalt below.
A Gift Box for the Chosen Few
As if the car weren’t enough, each buyer also gets a hand-crafted MANUFAKTUR gift box in matching Nappa leather, complete with two keys and a second bottle of the exclusive fragrance.
In a world full of luxury cars, the Edition Emerald Isle makes a compelling case that the ultimate status symbol isn’t just about owning a Maybach — it’s about owning this Maybach. Just don’t expect to see many of them.
