2024 Mercedes Maybach S 680 First Drive: The Last of its Kind
• Auto 123 test drives the 2024 Mercedes Maybach S680 4MATIC on California's legendary Route 1.

From the way it drives to the advanced soundproofing and technology that enhances the interior, every aspect of a Maybach model must surpass its S-Class sibling.
Not one to lower the stakes, Mercedes-Benz itself says that the Maybach S 680, equipped with one of the last V12 engines still on sale, is intended as a competitor to the Bentley Flying Spur and Rolls-Royce Ghost.
