There’s no better time to announce your love for California with a new special edition than Monterey Car Week, which is exactly what Mercedes has done through a special edition from its Maybach sub-division. Unlike last year’s special edition, which paid homage to the Northern Lights, this year’s reveal, the Mercedes-Maybach S 680 Edition Emerald Isle, celebrates California’s central coast. Limited to 25 units and exclusive to the US market, the special edition combines Mercedes’ most luxurious badge with its most prestigious customization department, Manufaktur. Best of all, that ‘680’ designation means this is running something rare under the hood, a V12 in 2025.
