Keeping with the theme, Mercedes has re-tuned the 4.0-litre bi-turbo V8 engine on the Maybach SL 680. It still belts out 577 bhp and 800 Nm of peak torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission sending power to all four wheels. The engine is more linear in power delivery with 0-100 kmph coming up in 4.1 seconds, 0.5 seconds slower than the AMG SL 63. The top speed is restricted to 260 kmph as against 315 kmph on the AMG. Mercedes has also revised the exhaust system and added more sound-deadening material to the Maybach. The suspension has been revised for a more comfortable ride. The convertible continues to get the rear-axle steering as standard.
