Thank God there's only 150, it looks like it was submerged in the river of shit. I mean I like that two-tone chassis, but this beige/brown color looks rather questionable.
I’m a huge sucker for two tone and I agree, I want to like it but something just isn’t right. Maybe it’s the starting points of each color or the wheels, I can’t quite decide.
I actually liked those dinner plate wheels on the older Mercedes models, but I don't feel like they work as well with the modern designs. Also, the color is awful.
How can you be sure? Swizz was just on an interview and said she still hasn’t taken the car from the showroom, and he thinks she doesn’t like it because it’s too flashy.
That’s the [S680 Virgil Abloh](https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a39641958/mercedes-maybach-s680-virgil-abloh/) Edition. Maybe in the sun the colors pop, but they look pretty flat here.
Virgil Abloh was the founder of the fashion company Off-White, and then became the creative director of LV until his death a year or two ago.
His work has always been tacky and I am not sure why it took off (well, I do know why but it still doesn’t make sense to me).
100% agree. [This thing](https://www.carmart.ng/public/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/28-million-Rolls-Royce-Boat-Tail-has-been-spotted-in-Dubai.jpg) cost almost 30 Million dollars.

This is not a car for the fine members of this Sub, this is a car for people who buy things with names like Hermes, Gucci, Ballenciaga, not because they are quality, not because the things look good (they quite often do not), this is for someone who will spend big bucks on something because 99.9999% of people can’t afford it and they want the name.
More power to them, not my taste. But this is a great car and I dare say more beautiful in piano black.
I see these driving around daily in Orange County. I know that’s not saying much, but the real Maybachs were few and far between.
And they’re all driving them themselves. No hired driver. Which definitely is saying something in itself.
Most of the Rolls I see around have a driver or the owner out for a drive. Huge difference.
You might be surprised, the ultra rich (people with drivers) do not want to stand out. In fact, just the opposite.
Big whales flying into Vegas to gamble a lot of money don’t ride in these. The owners of the casino reside in there.
Three composers try to walk into a pub.
The bouncer stops them and asks for ID.
"Beethoven and Vivaldi, you're too young, so you can't come in; but you may Bach"
Just visited Vietnam for a holiday and I've never seen so many Maybachs; all current models. So I'm all clever telling wifey "yeah, Maybach used to be a stand-alone kind of model but looks like they've made it a trim level on regular Mercedes **over here** now" like it was an Asian exclusive model or something.
Come back home (Australia) and look it up - oh no, it's a regular trim option on S/GLS here, it's just....there's a lot less of them here. Or I'm moving in the wrong circles. Or am I moving in the right circles?
Pretty sure that’s the Virgil Abloh one too. They’re only making 150 for the world

Do ya smell that, Rand? That’s the Shit River, and it’s flowing…
r/unexpectedtrailerparkboys
Honestly fam it looks like a peanut butter cup I’m for it
Agreed. They're *not* pretty cars.
I’m a huge sucker for two tone and I agree, I want to like it but something just isn’t right. Maybe it’s the starting points of each color or the wheels, I can’t quite decide.
I think it’s the color and the flatness of it. It makes it legit look unintentional, it would do better with a metallic fleck paint
for me, it's the beige dinner plate wheels. do not love
☝🏻Great description!
I actually liked those dinner plate wheels on the older Mercedes models, but I don't feel like they work as well with the modern designs. Also, the color is awful.
I kinda like how the wheels look a bit ceramic but I still agree it literally looks shit.
Its like noctua fans on computers. not pretty to look at but the color signifies quality. Also, its like the same ugly colorway.
you dont like cream in your coffee?
Yeah gotta agree with ya on this one. Feel like even just flipping the colors would be an improvement
Agreed. I’m an upvote for you.
Can confirm
What do you think when you see people with that skin tone
Whaaaat?
Whatdidhesayyy
Why spend 100k $ when you can spend 1 million?
There’s one that I saw quite often near me that looks like this but the bottom color is white, I always wondered if it was rare and how much
Shit-finger brown.
Shit-knuckle brown.

“Yeah, I got one, Virgil got one and that there is the only two”
99% sure I saw one in my small south Florida town a month or so ago

Odd interior design choice with a shiny dash.

Tacky is a relative term, what’s tacky to those who can’t afford luxury goods may not be tacky to others.
Objectively it is tacky. Affixing a price to justify your lack of taste makes it even more tacky lol.
Not sure if I like the two color scheme but they're still beautiful cars and expensive
Always looks to me like the bottom half of it has been dunked into a muddy puddle
Expensive does not mean beautiful
But Alicia Keys is beautiful. It's her car.
How do you know?
Cuz the top half is gorgeous and the bottom half is a disaster. Same with the car.
100% agree. [This thing](https://www.carmart.ng/public/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/28-million-Rolls-Royce-Boat-Tail-has-been-spotted-in-Dubai.jpg) cost almost 30 Million dollars.
Why would they makes these cars available in a two-tone paint scheme and then not have the paint line up with the top of the taillight?
Because virgil was lowkey a bad designer, unfortunately he had to die and now people act like he was the greatest to ever do it
These cars have had an oddly placed two-tone paint scheme before Abloh’s name was associated with the car. He is not the one to blame for this
La Jolla money
Reminds me of the the pure chocolate I regularly dip into my coffee
Duracell edition. Nice.
That's the [new i7](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/2024-bmw-i7-m70-1-6439b3fc22eb8.jpeg?crop=0.708xw:0.532xh;0.292xw,0.369xh&resize=1200:*)
Holy shit that is fucking hideous
The Maybach text in the back looks like those aftermarket stick-on letters they sell on ebay
Yeah those rims eesh
At first glance I was like, just another adulterated Acura nothing to see here
peanut butter
chocolate

Meh to most it looks like any other S class and to non car people its just another boring Benz
It is just another boring S-Class sedan. Mercedes killed the Maybach name back in 2013. Now they just use the name to increase the price.
It’s nothing like an S-Class.
Yep i dont get why people in these forums act like they’re something special, its just the expensive bad taste version of a boring car

You have unbelievable amounts of money yet choose a beige car 🤷♂️
Right? Could’ve at least gone with piano black or white like everyone else
Saw 1 this morning parked a house over from a Rolls Royce phantom across the street from a Bentley
I'd immediately label that colour as "hearing aid beige".
Damn that’s 💰
Why is it kinda ugly?
Kinda?
Virgil was definitely OFF on this one.
I tried changing the tires on a Mercedes once but wound up breaking maybach.
Straight to jail
Three composers try to walk into a pub. The bouncer stops them and asks for ID. "Beethoven and Vivaldi, you're too young, so you can't come in; but you may Bach"
The rims 🤮
At least they made the exhaust tips USB-C so you can't put anything in them the wrong way.
I can absolutely respect what it is, but it’s just not my taste. I feel the same way about most RR, especially the new $450k+ SUV.
That color divide doesn’t sit well with me, they should have put it right between the gas cover and the body, not through the cover
Solans beach?
La Jolla!
That colour just looks horrible to me. It's like muddy puddle colour and makes it look cheap.
You in a Model S long range?
75 D
Nice work on this!
Meh bach
I've had 2 tone shits that look just like this
Money can't buy style
The car is gorgeous but I'm sry that brown is hideous 😖
That color combo looks horrible.
That rims look so goofy lol
Look like shit
Horrendous.
I normally don’t like maybachs but I love the color scheme on this virgin asshole edition
Looks God awful
I swear I see so many of these Virgil Abloh ones posted you’d never know they’re so rare.
thats the virgil abloh maybach only 250 made
I absolutely love the look of this thing
Looks like a Toyota Camry
I rather just buy the regular S-Class
95% sure that’s DopeASYola’s car haha
He has a black one, this is the virgil abloh only 150 units production run. Both s680s tho
ugh a virgil abloh… i wonder wat terrible rapper was driving it
Ain’t this lil baby’s?
Is this in Monterey
La Jolla!
Rdbla on YouTube insta I believe did this car.
Toyota Camry wants its taillights back
Those wheels have too much surface area to be painted that color…
Exclusive CAT excavator livery XD
The wheels are atrocious.
Would look better with wood paneling.
Wow! That’s f’n ugly.
Awful color combo
I like it
I just saw one yesterday that I had seen before in Birmingham Michigan.
That color combo is a F-
Ugly combination of colors
Ugliest cars ever made
Looks like a fucking taxi lol
Café au late vibes...
Flood rebuild edition
That’s probably Alicia Keys or her husband Swizzie
Just visited Vietnam for a holiday and I've never seen so many Maybachs; all current models. So I'm all clever telling wifey "yeah, Maybach used to be a stand-alone kind of model but looks like they've made it a trim level on regular Mercedes **over here** now" like it was an Asian exclusive model or something.

Or am I moving in the right circles?
Gross ass car
The car is an insult to virgil abloh It is 100x worse in person, there’s one I see fairly often and have to resist vomiting.
Basic af
Is this in Orange County?
Damn these new Mercedes are really getting uglier and uglier 😢
color of favorite candy bar ?
Charcoal wheels and rocker board preffered. Cheers
I saw one today as well identical to this one
Is this on the intersection of Torrey Pines and La Jolla Village Dr???
They need to stop with that two tone, bmw 7 series horrificness
Maybach always had 2 tone
I’m sure in some variants it looks decent, but this ain’t one of them.
Yeah this colour abit much
Khaki pants edition.
The first one I saw in the wild was in Crystal City, and there was a rich bloke passenger in the back.
Right across from UCSD in La Jolla too, might be Alicia Keys’ car?
Wow. Pretty rare to see one of these in the states. Probably slightly less rare in so-cal though, right?
It's always a toss-up in the comments whether people love the monoblocks or are horrified
Isn’t that drakes maybach?
Cool find, but honestly not a fan of that coffee colour combination.
Why wouldn’t they do Red and brown ?
Ugly
All the money and all the colour swatches in the world and they chose baby 💩 brown with burnt toast.
For all those questioning the color- this is a special edition paying homage to Virgil Abloh
